Name: Thomas Croft
Position: Commentator (TND/Face)
Height: 5'7
Weight: 170 lbs.
PicBase: Joey Styles
Theme:  "Are you ready" by Disturbed
Faction: Pro Wrestling Nova/Tuesday Night Defiant
Screen Time: TND and PPVs



Notes:
Thomas was the sole commentator for the first four years of the Omega Wrestling Alliance, later Entertainment's, existence before it was bought out the first time and his contract was terminated and he went to go and work for the Fratton family owned Frontier Wrestling Alliance as one of their main commentators for almost a decade before health reasons caused him to take a step back until a favor was called in and he was the special color commentator for Celes Dumont's matches in the later half of the Universal Wrestling Corporation's existence.

Thomas was Chris' first and only choice for the senior voice of Pro Wrestling Nova television and pay per views and now he sits at the announce desk for PWN's flagship show, Tuesday Night Defiant, live and in bombastic color!


Name: Davis van Zandt
Position: Commentator (TND/Heel)
Height: 6'1
Weight: 220 lbs.
PicBase: Corey Graves
Theme: "Are you ready" by Disturbed
Faction: Pro Wrestling Nova/Tuesday Night Defiant
Screen Time: TNT and PPVs



Notes:
Davis was once an active member of the OWA/E roster as the "Hardliner" Jason Wrath where he was a one time OWA World Tag Team champion alongside Garrison Cade as the "Revolution", dethroning the "OWA Forefathers" in the form of the "Dangerous Minds" tag team of Reno Dumont and Chris Morton for the titles and looked to have a pretty impressive future ahead of him until a match against Alex Slayer ended those dreams.

Jason then switched to his real name as started to "help adjust the injustices done on commentary" by helping to call his now former partner's matches all the way through Garrison's three times as the OWA/E heavyweight champion before he was finally released due to "cost cutting measures" by the Omega Sports Entertainment Group.

Remembering his work on both the mic and at the announcer's desk during various matches, Davis' former rivals in Reno and Chris actually suggested him to President Slayton for TND.

Faction: Pro Wrestling Nova/Tuesday Night Defiant

Notes:
Max has the distinct honor of being one of the first students trained at the Slayton Wrestling Academy by President Slayton and worked for the Encino based "National Wrestling Federation" for six years before this former Norte Dame linebacker suffered a near career ending injury at the hands "Devastating" Dan Lea when he challenged for Lea's NWF North American championship that wound up tearing his ACL right off the bone almost.

The "Cole Train" didn't give up hope and was asked by his former trainer to help him teach how to do promos at the SWA but when Chris accepted the job of PWN president, he asked Max to be apart of the Defiant announce team without a second thought.

PicBase: Rosa Mendes
Screen Time: TND and PPVs.



Notes:

Position: Referee (TND)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 156 lbs.
PicBase: Jessika Carr
Screen Time: TND, PPVs and special occasions.



Notes:
Deanna was once a wrestler known as "Spitfire" Jennifer Peters and wrestled for the Universal Wrestling Corporation but eventually retired out of disgust following Lucas Trescott's efforts to force the UWC women's division around his wife, eventually becoming a ref and calling several important matches of the final couple of years for the promotion including Celes Dumont's final UWC match.

Now Deanna handles the matches for PWN's Defiant show, especially in those cases where the talent tend to get a bit more... "handsy". Deanna also helps out with fellow California based promtion Lethal Angels of Wrestling.

Notes:
David Cash is a referee of some...repute..who worked as the personal ref for Matt Hunter's "Gathering" stable from 2008 through 2010 in Cairo/Carson City Wrestling (WfWA Egypt) and the Frontier Wrestling Alliance. A close eye was kept on Cash following this and seemingly stopped being heelish...only time will tell if he goes back.

Notes:
Thomas was working small time indy wrestling promotions on the west coast and is a very energetic worker, he tries to not only hype up the crowds at the events and *KEEP* them hyped up throughout the entire event-something that caught the attention of all people the daughter of Zell and Trynyty Hunter who suggested it to her godfather.

Now Thomas works every Tuesday night and PPV with the kind of energy that a squirrel hyped up on three UberMonster energy drinks couldn't even begin to touch!

Name: Isabel Cortez
Position: Ring announcer (TND)
Height: 5'6
Weight: <SLAP!>
PicBase: Melissa Santos
Screen Time: TND, PPVs and special occasions.



Notes:
Isabel's story is a somewhat dark yet familiar one. She was a ring announcer for a wrestling promotion under a now former stage name out of Newark New Jersey when she was started to be sexually harassed by not only members of the roster but also was ordered to by the company's president to "perform" for the talent or be fired. Isabel instead filed a grievance with HR that lead to her termination.

President Slayton was actually aimed in her direction by both Thomas Dekker, the lead ring announcer for Defiant, and someone close to him and she was hired within mere hours of being let go by her previous company and now she works with Thomas on Tuesday nights!

Name: Natasha Booth
Position: Commissioner (TND)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 137 lbs.
PicBase: Stephanie McMahon (2002)
Theme: "Gasoline" by Halsey
Screen Time: TND, PPVs, and special occasions.



Notes:
Tasha has a long and interesting history with the front office of Pro Wrestling Nova and perhaps the only person that President Slayton could think to handle the role of commissioner of the Defiant brand.

Tasha handles all of the day to day operations of her show as well as serves as a connection to the front office.

Name: Ophelia
Position: Backstage interviewer (TND)
Height: 5'6
Weight: <Oi, that's fucking private!!>
Pic Base: Veronica Le Strange (ICW)
Theme: <WIP>
Screen Time: TND, PPV, and Specials



Notes:
Ophelia was a unique find by Celes during a trip to the United Kingdom... but *HOW* she was discovered by Celes has yet to be revealed. A Scottish "Goth", Ophelia is an open and sociable creature who is not afraid to go out there and get the job done.

Name: Nick Corvin
Position: Senior producer (TND)
Height: 5'11
Weight: 259 lbs.
PicBase: Scott D'Amore (Impact)
Theme: "Who do you trust" by Papa Roach
Screen Time: Special occasions



Notes:
Nick Corvin used to be the face commentator for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance until finally he had enough of various people intimidating and threatening him that he snapped would go on to form the infamous "Network" stable which ran roughshod through the entire Summit Wrestling Alliance and Ed Brown's Superior Championship Wrestling before the group was finally wiped out.

Corvin would then become a behind the scenes figure, using his experience to help shows run smoothly and to come up with ways of fixing things as they emerged which is why Chris selected him for the spot of senior producer for Tuesday Nights and the Defiant show.

Name: Aaron Tennyson
Position: General Manager (TND)
Height: 5'11
Weight: 180 lbs.
Pic Base: Martin Kirby
Theme: "Blue Monday" by Orgy
Screen Time: TND, PPVs, and Special Occassions



Notes:
When she signed onto be the commissioner of Defiant, Natasha Booth had one demand-she wanted someone to be her General Manager, someone that could handle the "heavy lifting" and could keep her in check.

Enter Aaron Tennyson.

A former member of both the ICWA and NWF rosters, Aaron jumped at the chance to actually do some good and make people RESPECT the pink suit of the General Manager!
