Gordon Korth, better known as Denrol, is a Canadian professional wrestler who currently wrestles for the World Wrestling Alliance, a former member of the Primetime Central circuit.
Denrol is the only man in WWA history to have held every title on the show he has competed on. He is known as The Six Pack Champion and The Greatest of All Earth Time, as well as the WWA's Franchise Player. He has done it all.
Denrol only wrestles part time these days, having taken a job as a WWA road agent along with former greats, Kash and Thomas Connors, better known as Leviathan.
Early Life
Not a whole lot is known about Gordon's childhood. That he was born in Toronto is well known and he was raised there too. His parents died in an auto accident when he was 19 and that really affected him. While he was already a fan of wrestling than, he turned to wrestling to fill a void in his life. Between wrestling and the friend turned lover turned wife Alexandra, he was able to get through college. He has a Bachelors Degree in American History.
He was a high school teacher in New York City when he met David "Sniper" Wattsoner. Wattsoner had trained many and decided to make Gordon Korth his final student.
Career
World Wrestling Alliance
Once he was done with training, Gordon signed with Northeast Championship Wrestling (which would eventually become the World Wrestling Alliance) in June of 1998. There he made his name Denrol, which in reverse is lorned, a Middle English word meaning "Forsaken".
Denrol's achievements are too many to list and he is one of the most legendary superstars in WWA history. His career included many changes of gimmicks, from Father Denrol to The Denrol, and even D.E.N.R.O.L. He has managed to win every singles championship he was eligible for. But one title reign changed Denrol's entire career, casting a shadow he works his heart out to get rid of.
Denrol won the WWA World Title on July 1, 1999. He lost it three days later. Having the shortest World Title reign ever has affected Denrol greatly. He has done everything he can to regain the title, but it still eludes him. He has twice put his career on the line. He has cheated on his wife. He has sworn to cripple his best friend if he stepped in the way of him obtaining that championship. Yet he still can't get it.
Along with his in-ring achievements, Denrol is a former fed owner. He ran the GWLF, in a brief period where the WWA was an umbrella fed. He lost that federation by the moves of Matthew Warr, who became the President of the WWA when it reformed as one fed. Ever since that event, Warr and Denrol has hated each other and their out of ring feud has affect in-ring events. Warr has helped make sure Denrol does not regain the WWA World Championship, no matter how hard he tries.
Only one man has managed to get to Denrol and take his focus off the WWA Championship. On October 7, 2002, Jackson Kraven nearly ended Denrol's career. A running Kravenbomb sent Denrol neck-first onto exposed concrete. While in recovery, Denrol swore to obtain revenge against the big man. Then Kraven went too far. He attacked Denrol's wife Alexandra and kicked her in the stomach while she was pregnant with Denrol's unborn child.
Denrol snapped because of that. At Rage in the Cage 2003, he faced Kraven in a Cell in a Frozen Hell Match; the first of it's kind. This match was a deathtrap intended for Kraven. Denrol didn't care about winning or losing. He just wanted to hurt Kraven. He did exactly that after the match. He gave Kraven a beating the likes the WWA had never seen. Both men walked out of that Cell changed men.
Shortly after that event, Denrol became more cocky and arrogant than he had ever been. He claimed to be the "WWA Franchise" and that without him, the WWA would fall apart. Since he still owned stock in the WWA from his time as GLWF owner, Denrol used his immunity to do whatever he pleased. He was caught up with a feud with Chance. This feud ended at March Madness 2003, when Chance defeated Denrol cleanly in the ring. The stipulations given for the match was that if Chance won, Denrol had to give up his stock in the company. If he had won, he would have gotten a fair WWA Title Match, so Denrol saw it as a worthwhile risk. With the stock taken from Denrol, Warr took great pleasure in suspending Denrol for the rest of 2003.
While Denrol was gone, his son Andrew Korth was born. His wife became the president of the WWA, after Mark Harrington returned and removed Warr from that position. And the WWA than split into two rosters. Denrol was signed by his wife to the Meltdown conference. But of all these events, the brith of his son seems to have changed Denrol the most. Upon his return, Denrol claimed to have changed his arrogent ways, but that was a lie.
At the same time Denrol returned, so did his archrival Vik Ventressa. The two battled it out a few more times, with Vik coming out on top at RITC 2004. That loss changed Denrol and he returned to the "true" Denrol, an arrogent asshole. Denrol targeted rookie Khaled and seemed to have him done with, even to the point of having a funeral for Khaled. But Khaled returned as Hardcore K and defeated Denrol at Bourbon Street Brawl 2004. After that loss, Denrol decided to leave the WWA for a while, to spend time with his family.
Denrol returned to the WWA in July 2005. He helped his friend Tracer Bullet win the WWA World Heavyweight Title. He also jumped right back into his feud with Khaled, this time with Ember also involved. At point Alexandra Korth even joined forces with Khaled, to try and get Denrol to retire again. But it was not to be.
After Khaled failed to end Denrol's career, Alexandra turned to the late Ian Tense. Denrol and Tense battled in the first ever Devil's Octagon Match at Labor Day Brawl 2005. Denrol tapped out during that match, but he stayed in the WWA, through things seemed to be coming to a close.
After Tracer Bullet lost his World Heavyweight Title, he looked like he was going to hang the boots up. But Denrol convinced Bullet to join him for one last run, this time for the WWA Tag Team Titles. They called themselves The Franchise Players and they had quite the run in the tag ranks, winning the gold at Rage In The Cage IX.
Sadly, the Franchise Players time in the WWA was limited and after dropping the belts at Bourbon Street Brawl 2006, both of them left the WWA.
For a brief time an imposter calling himself Denrol 2, appeared on the scene. He claimed to have purchased the rights for the name from Gordon Korth. But the imposter didn't last long because at Day of the Dead 2006, the real Denrol came back to get revenge and "Denrol 2" has not been heard from since.
Denrol underwent major knee surgery just a few days later and wasn't seen again on WWA TV until May 2007. But he came back as a shell of his former self, only making a handful of appearances. After being the first pinned, by Seth Copeland, at Birthday Bash 2007, Denrol went into retirement once more.
Denrol came out of retirement again to join Team WWA and face The Damned at Rage In The Cage XI inside Ultimate Glory, he put in a great performance but unfortunately couldn't help Team WWA to the victory.
Since then, he has appeared sporatically over the next year and a half. He hosted his own talk show known as "The World's Greatest Chat Show" and was involved in a feud with Richard Cranium up until Day of the Dead 2008, which fizzled out when Cranium was fired at the show by Kade Williams.
He reappeared on the January 12th edition of Meltdown in a Four Corner Survival, he looked to have that match won, until he was thrown from the ring and Trendkiller picked up the win. Denrol would also make an appearance at Birthday Bash XI, where he was pinned by Copeland for the second straight time in the Birthday Brawl.
