CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Dante grew up loving wrestling despite his father, who was an MMA fighter before the sport became a worldwide sensation. Dante's father, Giovanni or better known as Gio, fought in underground MMA fights in New York. This is how his father put money on the table. Gio was one of the best in the underground circuit, but during his last fight, he took a bad blow to the head. The people there told Gio to quit but he kept on going, he didn't want to lose. So Gio kept fighting and fighting that night and he won. Despite his head injury, he pushed through and showed why he was the best. Giovanni, exhausted, asked a friend to take him home. Once Giovanni made it inside, he greeted his family. He would eventually have a seizure and collapse and his wife called 911. Giovanni's brain had swollen and he went into a coma. The doctors would inform his family that he was brain dead and he would never wake up.
Dante was a teenage wrestling star during this time but he had a background in Muay Thai and MMA tactics from his father. Dante would change course, dedicating his life to Muay Thai and MMA in honor of his father, who his mother refused to pull the plug on. Dante's mother, Mary, would barely ever leave her husbands' side, constantly staying with him at the hospital. Dante and family did what they could to support Mary and Dante had to make a decision to get away. He hated seeing his family like this, stuck in this rut. So he moved to Thailand to compete and master his Muay Thai abilities. A majority of the money he made, he would send to his family to help out his mom. In Thailand, he became one of the best fighters in Thailand, but wrestling was always in the back of his mind.
Rewind to three years ago in 2014 when, after one of his fights, Dante's eyes caught Blyss Lockhart in the crowd. He would approach her, being a fan of hers and she complimented his MMA skills. The two hit it off and became friends, spending time together while Blyss stayed in Thailand. Dante confided to her that he had always wanted to be a wrestler and Blyss convinced him that he had the ability and desire to be one, to be one of the best. Dante believed her and she helped get him started before she had to leave. Dante would travel to Japan to truly hone his wrestling abilities, and this is where he garnered the nickname, The Hellhound. Dante would soon wrestle in IYHWF, where he was a tag team champion and he teamed with The Bad Omens, including his girlfriend, Blyss Lockhart.
