'''Jonathan Rhine''' (born July 7, 1984) is an American professional wrestler most known for his work in [[FUSE]].

__TOC__

== Early Life ==
Jonathan Rhine was born in New Orleans, LA to Sylvia and Gregory Rhine. He was the first-born of three children, and as the oldest he was most affected by his father's competitive nature. He was enrolled in the local parish sports club and played football, basketball, and baseball until he was 12. When he was 12 years old, his father brought him to a local gym and began to teach him how to wrestle both professional and amateur style.

== Getting Discovered ==
Jonathan practiced both styles of wrestling until he was in high school, when he favored the amateur style because it was offered at school. He won a district championship in the 140 division his first year, and in his second year won the state championship. At the end of his winning match, Foster Nackedy, a local New Orleanian and an NWC star at the time, told Jonathan that he was special and if he was ever interested in wrestling professionally to give Foster a call. After high school ended, Jonathan was offered a scholarship to Rice, but turned it down because he was no longer interested in amateur wrestling. Ready to take the plunge, he gave Foster Nackedy a call.

== Gray's Wrestling Academy ==
Jonathan was immediately entered into the training program of Grey's Wrestling Academy, a school started by Pat Gray, Foster's first trainer. After Gray died do to an unknown illness, there were many head trainers over the next few years until Foster finally retired from the NWC to teach the school. By the time Foster became head trainer, Jonathan Rhine had become the golden boy of the Academy, impressing all of his teachers and classmates with his natural ability and propensity to learn. Foster soon turned Gray's into a promotion, holding house shows at the St. Bernard Parish Civic Center. After a few weeks, Rhine became the champion there, and Foster decided it was time for him to truly shine. He sent video packages to several federations, showing Rhine's skill and also his intelligence and good nature. After a few months, FUSE sent a contract.

== FUSE ==
=== Debut ===
Jonathan Rhine first debuted on Killzone 36 as part of the Reign of Chaos tournament to crown a new Custom C.H.A.O.S. tournament. His first opponent was Damien Cruz, a former Universal Champion and certified FUSE Legend. In a Parking Lot Brawl Match, Rhine got his first victory from a Rhine Rewind on top of a parked car. His next match was against another former Universal Champ, Mikael Lundgard. He won the Custom Chaos Title in his third match, an Asylum match at Afflicted Glory versus Kid Cool in the finals of the Reign of Chaos tourament.

=== Custom Chaos/Gateway Title Run ===
Jonathan held onto the Custom Chaos Title from May 31st until September 12th. During this run, he had successful defenses against Timo Bolamba, Jamie Hauser, Jason Cruise, and Timo Bolamba again at War In Washington. On September 12, STD renamed the Custom Chaos Title to the Gateway Title, which he held onto until 10/05/07, when he was out of the ring during his defense and Lane Stevens pinned Sean Sterling to win the title.

=== War In Washington Tower Match ===
In addition to defeating Bolamba in a ladder match, Jonathan Rhine outlasted 19 other competitors and eliminated Lane Stevens last to win the War In Washington Tower Match, earning a #1 contendership spot against the Universal Champion. He is set to cash in on that shot at DEFIANCE.

=== The Highwaymen ===
At War In Washington after his Tower win, Jonathan Rhine was attacked by Clinton Sage and the Affliction. Before the damage could get too bad, though, the lights went out and [[Aimz]], [[Jason Cruise]], and [[Cyrus Raynes]] appeared to save him. After clearing the ring of the Affliction, the group of men and woman aligned themselves together, naming themselves The Highwaymen.

The Highwaymen, fueled by individual rage between the members of the Affliction, began tackling the injustices of the evil stable headon. They faced the Affliction in a 4-on-4 stable match at [[FUSE on ESPN]], which ended with Rhine getting the pin over Lane Stevens.

Jonathan Rhine's rivalry with Clinton Sage is one of the driving forces of Affliction vs. Highwaymen, and their match will culminate on the PPV DEFIANCE.

'''Dorian Ryan''' (Born Dorian Seth Ryan on May 21, 1982 in Ypsilanti, Michigan) is a professional wrestler best known for his time in [[Global Championship Wrestling|GCW]] where he was also known as X and Sam Wolack. He also previously wrestled in various territories in the National Wrestling Council where he also used the names Prime, Bishop and Exodus.

==Career History==

===Early Career===
Dorian Seth Ryan originally started his career in Minnesota State Wrestling as the "nephew" of [[Jay Draven|Jason Ryan]]. After a couple of rather uneventful matches, he left Minnesota to head to Japan where he gained some additional seasoning. He returned from Japan as a more complete wrestler, and teamed with his "uncle" in a series of matches in Minnesota, Texas and London before leaving the ring the first time.

Taking time off, Dorian went back to Japan where he had started up a second life, becoming engaged and married. Shortly after the NWC restructured, Dorian returned to the states where he wrestled in the newly formed NWC Central region, where he remained until a concussion at the hands of BloodAngel forced him to take time away from the ring.

After recovering from the concussion, Dorian would reappear in the NWC Pacific region, where he would remain until the NWC went under. He took time off from wrestling because of the death of his wife and son due to complications to childbirth.

===Time Away From The Ring===
Dorian spent a considerable amount of time away from the ring, recuperating not only from the pain of losing his wife and child, but also recuperating from years of abuse in the ring. During this time, he would meet [[Andrea Scabbia]], who after a whirlwind romance, married while also embarking on a career as a stunt performer and co-ordinator in Hollywood.

===Return to the Ring (GCW)===
Dorian would return to the wrestling world as the masked and, oddly enough, censored entity known only as X. The character would be an enigmatic presence on [[GCW]] television for months. Dorian never appeared in the ring under this persona, but eventually until the end of the storyline, when he would come out from the backstage area and attack the wrestler that was in the ring performing as the character.

Dorian would unmask and return to the wrestling ring as Sam Wolack. He had a couple of minor feuds at this time, but really made a name for himself in some of the riskiest matches that appeared on [[GCW]] shows. After building up his name, he was given a shot at the [[GCW United States Title]] in a match against [[Eva VanLorne]]. He would score an upset to win his first championship in his wrestling career. Unfortunately, his reign was cut short, as he lost the title in a defense against [[Vivica J. Valentine]], injuring his knee in the process.

Dorian would then be released from his GCW contract while he recuperated. Eventually, he made it back to GCW, paying to appear on the show, known simply as "the Wrestler". Eventually, he would finally wrestle his first match as "Deadpool" Dorian Ryan and would quickly become an associate member of the [[Ascension]] stable.

Dorian's final show of importance in GCW was at Dangerous Games 2006, where he defeated [[Bryan Mayhem]] in a [[Deadpool Match]], and then entering the Dangerous Games Battle Royal later on in the night, where he was the ninth participant to enter, being eliminated by non-participant [[Shaman]]. Shortly afterwards, Dorian Ryan left GCW again.

===Time Away From The Ring===
Dorian Ryan took time away from the ring to move to Minneapolis, Minnesota, to help take care of his wife, who was admitted to a mental health facility. During this time, Dorian would bring his love of sport bikes to a new level, as he started to work for Henderson Performance Works, a custom sport bike shop and repair center.

He would spend the next year performing this trade while still wrestling in independant shows under his old "Prime" name.

===Return to GCW===
Dorian would make his return to GCW at Dangerous Games 2007, where he was one of many surprise entries in the Dangerous Games Battle Royal. He shown during the match that he still had the aerial techniques that he made his name with as a part of his repertoire, and wrestled a fast paced match before being eliminated by [[Tessa Windsor]].

Dorian's next match was against [[Tyson DeBough]] for the [[GCW Television Title|GCW Television Championship]], a match that he was unable to win. Dorian would get his second crack to enter the win column since his return taking on [[PRIME]]'s [[Nitz Donnelly]] at the [[PRIME Great American Nightmare|Great American Nightmare]] [[GCW Devil's Night|Devil's Night]] joint supercard, losing in a falls count anywhere, no disqualification match. Dorian's next scheduled match is against the debuting [[Elijah Keeling]].
