Biography:
A superbly gifted technical wrestler that just happened to grow up on the wrong side of the tracks, "The Notorious" 187 (real name D'Brickashaw Brody) wanted something more than the usual SoCal gangsta lifestyle of dealing drugs and killing thugs.

From a young age, he showed great interest in professional wrestling and used a local gym (Black Jack's Pain Factory), where pro wrestling classes were offered, to escape from his everyday existence.

From the moment he stepped foot in the Pain Factory, Brody knew he'd found his calling. Drawing on his real life experiences to fuel his gimmick, Brody rechristened himself "The Notorious" 187 and became an underground legend in southern California using a mixture of violent brawling, technical wizardry and off the charts psychology. Before long, Brody caught the attention of east coast independent fed Jersey All Pro Wrestling and left California for good.

Once 187 got to Jersey, it didn't take long for him to cement his reputation as an extremely violent yet technically sound grappler willing to do anything to get over with the crowd. Whether it be death matches with Necro Butcher or instant classics with Homicide (OOC: ), "The Notorious One Eight Seven" fought through any adversity and came out looking like a million bucks.

This is where the story gets complicated. His first teacher, "Black" Jack Dunnigan, owed a lot of money to a lot of bad people in Vegas. Taking a chance that his star pupil still remembered him, he got in touch with Brody and pleaded his case, as well as a possible solution to his problem: if "The Notorious" 187 could come to Vegas and compete in Vegas Championship Wrestling, Dunnigan could earn favour with his creditors and stave off his personal doomsday.

The catch: Brody had to perform certain "special favours" for "Black" Jack's underworld friends that wouldn't exactly endear him to VCW's staff.

Brody accepted for the sake of the man who saved him from the streets and now he must come through on his part of the bargain, whatever that may entail.

D'Brickashaw Brody AKA "The Notorious" 187 is reading his favourite book as his plane lands at Vegas International Airport. The book is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and Brody hopes that his trip to Sin City is going to go a lot smoother than Raoul Duke's did. As the plane pulls into the terminal, Brody politely waits his turn to get off the plane and thanks the flight staff. Internally however, he's dealing with heavy emotions that threaten to boil over.

What in the hell did Jack get me in? First things first, I gotta find out who these dudes are and what Jack owes them. I hope to Christ it's just money...

Brody walks casually yet confidently through the terminal and follows the signs to the baggage pick-up area. As he exits the security zone, he sees "Black" Jack Dunnigan waiting for him with a huge smile on his face.

"Brody! You made it!"

Dunnigan pounces on Brody and gives him a huge bear-like hug. Brody returns the hug for a brief moment and then pushes away.

"Okay Jack. What the hell is all this about?"

Dunnigan's joy at seeing his only pupil to ever amount to anything turns to intense and overwhelming anxiety.

"I owe lots of money Brody. Lots of it. And the worst of it is, I've got no real way to pay it back."

Brody shrugs his shoulders and makes a twirling motion with his fingers.

"Yeah, that's what I figured. So where do I fit in?"

Dunnigan's brow creases as he turns Brody towards the luggage carrousel.

"This isn't a good place to talk about it Brody. Let's get your luggage and head on over to my place. I've got supper on the way and we can talk it over beers and tacos."

Brody resignedly follows after his former teacher and grins.

"Yeah, ain't nothin' can't be discussed over beers and nachos Jack!"
