Will Sheridan

## Early Life

Will Sheridan was born on May 3rd, 1990 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unlike most of the CPW roster, Will was never an elite athlete, in fact, he was born with Cerebral Palsy that required him to use a wheelchair for most of his life. Prior to gaining the opportunity to enter the ring in 2020 as part of the CWL, Sheridan had been a fan of professional wrestling for as long as he could remember. Wrestling is how he had bonded with his father, who was taken from him at an early age. On his initial entrance into the world of pro wrestling, Will was a commentator for several indie promotion. However, through both the aid of technology, and the mysterious healing force of Clarity, Will has been given the opportunity to become a wrestler.

## Project Livewire

On December 14th, 2020 Will Sheridan underwent the experimental procedure to integrate the Cortez Industries LifeLink Neural processor into the base of his neck. A successful outcome of this procedure would see Sheridan gaining the ability to walk and pursue his dreams as a pro wrestler. The LifeLink chip would increase the electrical signals in the brain, allowing for normal function in the legs.

Unfortunately for Will Sheridan, there were complications during the procedure. A machine error caused the LifeLink applicator module to become embedded into his neck. Over the next several months, Sheridan waged a war within his own mind against the corrupted AI referring to itself as "Livewire". The Livewire AI continually interfered with Will's mental processes, causing him to think and behave in ways he normally would not.

A few months later, after a tiresome battle for control of his own body, Will desperately made the ultimate sacrifice. He ripped the corrupted LifeLink module out of his neck. Stumbling down the highway, Will began to bleed out before being hit by a passing truck. The collision badly damaged Will's body. Will Sheridan should have been dead, but in his final moments, he was redeemed by blinding light, and given the gift of CLARITY.

The force of Clarity would resurrect Sheridan, heal most of his body, and allow Will to resume his dreams of wrestling in the CWL, The healing flame would continue to heal him over time, until no cybernetics were present. Despite this, Will's left arm was still badly damaged and required several casts to heal. Eventually Will's body would make a full recovery from both the accident and his former disability, but he would lose much of Clarity's divine influence over time. The healing flame now lies mostly dormant in Will. Following the death of his best friend Sami Douglas, Will's connection to the force is not as strong as it once was. While remnants of Clarity still surge within him sustaining a small amount of his physical ability, he is finally the closest he has ever been to pure Will Sheridan.

## The CWL 2021 - 2022

Will Sheridan made his debut in the CWL at Genesis: Rivals in Season 1. He was unsuccessful in his first match, and many of the matches following, but his hard work and determination led to him being one of the most adored performers on the CWL roster. During his time there, Sheridan made friends with Sparkbot, Wayne the Beach Bum, and Sami Douglas, while creating bitter rivalries with people like Blade Coleman, Dark Cea, and of course, the Enterpainer.

Sheridan found his home on the Vindication brand, proclaiming in his theme song that this is "MY VINDICATION". Now, as the CWL as shuttered its doors, "The Vindicator" is blazing a trail all his own.

## Covenant Pro Wrestling 2022 - Present

Will Sheridan is the creator of CPW, its Chairman, and the Current CPW World Heavyweight Champion. Will poured all of his savings into this brand and wears the CPW logo as a badge of honor. Although he never intended to win the World Heavyweight Championship, he gained the belt at Phoenix Rising in a match against Connor Gates. Now, he simply aims to be worthy of the gold, while struggling through the multifaceted life of a performer, champion, showrunner, and chairman. These dual identities sometimes compete with his former identify as a person with a disability, and what lingers of the Livewire AI. Despite this, "The Iron Will" seems to be doing just fine.
