Seymour Almasy (born Jason Seymour Wilson on June 12, 1981) is a retired American professional wrestler. Almasy is considered one of the biggest talents in the history of Primetime Central, known for both his RPG-based "Final Fantasy" character, and appearing in a very large number of wrestling promotions.

Early Life

Most of Seymour's early history has been subject to modification and outright falsification due to his RPG-oriented gimmick. The best that can be ascertained from what Seymour himself has said is here.

Born on Long Island to middle-class parents, Seymour became acquainted with video games at an early age thanks to his father. Seymour and his dad would often play together after long days at work as an investment banker. His mother was a housewife and noted party girl, often abandoning Seymour alone at home to go out with her friends.

When Seymour was five years old, his father passed away in a car accident, leaving his mother alone to take care of Seymour. She proved neglectful at this task, leaving Seymour alone in the house four or five days a week until all hours of the night. Eventually, a neighbor picked up on this, and called Child Services. Seymour's mother served a short prison term for child neglect, and she and her son are not on speaking terms to this day.

Child Services placed Seymour with his grandfather, Cid Wilson, who lived in Manhattan. It was there that Seymour first met Laura Marie Winters, better known to wrestling fans as Aerith Heartilly. Seymour and Laura befriended each other quickly, in spite of Seymour being an easy teasing target for the other students in school. The pair were inseparable friends until the end of high school, when college sent them in different directions, Seymour to Penn State, and Laura to Delaware.

Jason took up history as his major, but rapidly grew tired of the college life. A local wrestling school seemed to offer a way out of the tedium for classes, and so during his sophomore year, Seymour began training for the ring.

By the time he was a junior, he left college, ready to try and make his name on the independent scene. Realizing how competitive it could be, he utilized the video games that he had always loved and played to craft himself the persona of "The Final Fantasy" Seymour Almasy, a man who believed himself to be an character in a role-playing video game.

Sending out applications to all of the federations he could find, he was summarily rejected by most for being too cartoony. A promotion called LCW: Evolution offered Seymour a contract, but folded soon after. This left Seymour to sign with the only other promotion who wanted him, the Universal Wrestling Federation.

Tournaments

Perhaps Almasy's greatest fame as a professional wrestler came in major tournament competition. Since GTT3, Almasy competed in every major PTC tournament, with widely varying success.

GTT3

Almasy came into GTT3 as a round two play-in, representing the UWF, and defeating Acid in the first round. He moved up in competition in the third round, defeating Global Wrestling's Jack Panzer. This set up a fourth round clash with NTICW's Mordred, which Seymour won to claim his bracket. His fifth-round match was a narrow defeat to then-PCW World Champion Totally Tubular Tommy. Nonetheless, Almasy's run had given both himself and the UWF considerable exposure, and served as an early indication of what would go on to be UWF competitors dominating many PTC events.

PIT

The Primetime Invitational Tournament was PTC's first tournament upon separating from Primetime Championship Wrestling. Originally, it was to be for a shot at Donny Diamond's PTC Global Championship, but Diamond vacated the title before the tournament, and it was decided that the tournament would instead be for the title. Almasy was considered an early favorite after his deep GTT3 run, and he lived up to such billing by quickly dispatching Ethan Evans, Noah Hanson, and Iron Lung to make the final eight, before conquering Fathom to set up his spot in the final four against fellow UWF competitor Kenny Mercury. Almasy was victorious, setting up a final round clash against Roulette of the DWO. Seymour scored his first ever victory against a DWO competitor, defeating her with the debut of his awesome One-Hit Kill finisher to capture his first PTC Global Championship.

Almasy went on to defend the belt twice, against Angelus Sorrow of the DWO, and Dave Harley of the WWA, before falling to Chris Storm in a triple-thread match for the title that also involved AWS Man (Also Known As Bill).

CW1

Fresh off his PIT success, Almasy entered the first ever rendition of the PTC Cruiserweight Tournament against arguably a more loaded field. He fended off a tough challenge from Matt Jackson and Lorenzo Guevera in the first round, before taking on the demonic Pietro Geist in round two. Almasy's win earned hm a match against Horazon, setting up his spot in a murderer's row final four featuring himself, Ethan Knight, Syko Arsonist, and Karina Wolfenden. Almasy dispatched Arsonist, then eked out a tough win over RPW's resident superstar, earning him the CW1 crown and making him the first and only competitor in PTC history to win back to back tournaments.

GTT4

By GTT4, Almasy's reputation in tournaments had grown such that Tournament Director Argyle made knocking out the Final Fantasy a focus of the event, launching a huge hype campaign around Seymour. The tournament was also the biggest since GTT3 with a loaded talent field.

Almasy fended off the tough challenge of the WWA's Jonathan Winters in round one, before another tough battle against Darek DeAngelo of Four Winds Wrestling. Almasy defeated XUW's Joey Vendetti in round three, before battling the unknown upstart Craig Goat in round four. To the astonishment of the wrestling world, Goat triumphed over Almasy, bouncing him from GTT4.

CW2

Almasy's woes would continue in CW2, where he sought to defend his tournament title. His first round opponent, Archibald MacGregor, put a quick stop to that by knocking Almasy out in the first round. MacGregor would go on to be PTC Extreme Champion and enemy of all PTC, while Almasy was left to stew in his juices of a second straight early tournament exit.

GTT5

Seymour dispatched the Back Alley Brawler in a very tough second round matchup, before taking out upset-minded PRIME star Clyde Walkins in round three. Round four was a four-way two elimination match, with Almasy and Kimbusa surviving Ember and William Gwynn. In spite of Kimbusa beating Almasy in round four, Almasy came back to take the Mrs. Warr Bracket by paying Kimbusa back in round five with a win, setting Almasy up to face hated rival Rich Rollins in the semi-finals of GTT5.

After a hellish war, Rollins triumphed in a match that still effects Seymour to this very day. Still, angered as he was at his inability to beat the Renegade, Almasy had restored some of his former tournament glory.

GTT6

Once again, much of the hype for GTT6 centered around Almasy, as he rode into the tournament both as PTC Global Champion and able to name his first round opponent. In a moment of arrogance, Seymour stated that he did not care who he would face, prompting Argyle to auction off the right to face Almasy, an auction won by Kimbusa. In a first round match for the PTC Global Championship, Kimbusa took his lifetime series with Almasy, vanquishing Seymour to become the new champion.

Almasy received a play-in bid, but was defeated in round two by PRIME's Killiean Sirrajin.

GTT7

Vowing that it would be his last PTC event, Seymour Almasy rode into battle to face Kaden Calix and Jared Sykes in the first round of the tournament. The future SCCW Universal Champion proved victorious, eliminating Almasy from his second straight GTT in the first round.

As in GTT6, Almasy recieved a play-in to round two, but once again faced a difficult challenge in the form of Terrence Kingsley, who unceremoniously bounced Almasy from the tournament once more in Almasy's final PTC match.
