Hessian

Hessian (Real name Angelus Von Kelsig) is an American professional wrestling veteran of over a decade. His career has revolved in its entirety around Primetime Central in all of its forms and he has competed in most of the companies which have been a part of the interfed including PWA, NTICW, EW, PCW, OSW, RPW, GW and PRIME. At 7'2" and with a hardcore legacy he is one of the most recognisable faces in the business...thanks in no part to his notorious beard of doom.

History

A fact known to fewer than a handful of people, Von Kelsig was actually born Isaac Trent on the 24th of October 1971 to Jack and Margot Trent. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan his upbringing was that of a typical working class family. While doted on by his mother, his father was of a harder hand; a stereotypical hard-working, hard-drinking labourer. Years of abuse and torment from his father (who like anyone from that generation would call it "tough love") drove Isaac to leave home in his teens, and in a time before the nanny state it wasn't difficult for him to leave that life behind and start fresh.

At the turn of the '80s Isaac had begun the growth spurt that in twenty years would see him triumph in the squared circle. He started his new life by picking up work in and around his hometown, dossing on the floor of work colleagues or employers when he couldn't afford to rent room in a hostel or motel. As his physique improved through hard labour Isaac made more money undertaking tougher work and therefore was able to afford luxuries and hobbies. One such pastime he enjoyed with fellow workers was trips to a local boxing gym, after being coaxed on to take advantage of his impressive build.

While a proficient fighter in a boxing ring, that was merely the setting for his true calling. With no aspirations other than working to live (a trait passed on by his father) Isaac spent the years between 1980 and 2000 as a jack of all trades who increasingly spent time in the gym surrounded by positive male role models and the thrill of competition. By the mid-nineties he had held a few heavyweight titles in various small-time promotions, and in 2000 fate came calling in the form of PCW legend Vampir Nosferatu.
