WRESTLING BIO:
Dave McIntyre is the son of Steven McIntyre, the multi millionaire hotel owner. Dave lived in a mansion in the upper-class area of Morningside, Edinburgh and went to the best school money could buy. But he wasn’t happy, something was missing. Dave began to get interested in wrestling from the age of 8, and by his 16th birthday he was seriously considering to make a career out of it, much to his fathers disgust (read my sacrifice). By the time he was 18 Dave made his way to the states, to follow his dreams. It was here that he hooked up with veteran Jerry Lawler, who took Dave under his wing and taught him how to work.
Dave burst onto the wrestling scene when he joined Ringside wrestling Federation, the cocky youngster soon hooked up with a man who was to be very important to his career……Shawn Mackay. Dave and Shawn became close friends, traveling everywhere together, partying hard and living the good life. Together they formed a team known as Thrillaz Inc, which, with Tony Clifton and Mike Montana Made up the Elite heel stable known as Weapon of Choice. As a foursome the group ran all over the federation and captured all the gold on offer. Thrillaz Inc would hold the tag titles and never lose them as RWF went out of business before anyone could figure out how to beat them.
Dave took a hiatus from the business after RWF closed down and got mixed up with drink and drugs….in a big way. One night, after a cocktail of Alcohol and drugs Dave ended up in hospital, fighting for his life, a fight that he thankfully won. When he recovered he was a changed man, his focus was on getting back into the ring, and becoming great again.
Dave then received a phone call that would change his life again, it was Shawn Mackay…..EPW wanted Thrillaz Inc. Within a few weeks Dave and Shawn had made the move to EPW and were soon followed be the other 2 Weapon of Choice members, Tony Clifton and Mike Montana, WoC was all set to run wild again……or was it?
On the surface everything seemed fine with WOC, but behind the scenes cracks were showing and one night at a house show it all came to a head, Shawn Mackay and Mike Montana left EPW, never to return, and left Dave McIntyre and Tony Clifton to carry the WoC name. And maybe more importantly left Dave as a singles competitor for the first time.
Dave soon came into his own as a singles star amassing an impressive winning streak, before beating future EPW champion Kalada to take the Deathmatch title. Dave and Tony carried off the WoC name well on their own, both carrying their own title and defending it everywhere and anywhere. Eventually though Dave lost his belt in an epic battle to Redcold, only to regain it a few weeks later, making him the first ever two time Deathmatch champion. His second title reign cam to an end thanks to Bosse.
Dave went down to help out on EPW’s development territory EWF for a brief stint, and wrestled under a mask and the assumed name of Mark Sensation, Capturing Hardcore gold, whilst still competing for EPW.
Dave then also signed on for The New Age Of Wrestling, quickly establishing himself as a main event player with a stable know as the Aces, which consisted of NAW champion Razor, Tv champion Maverick and Dave himself. Trouble was brewing however as Dave and Maverick turned on Razor and allowed Dave to capture his first ever world title. It was a few weeks after that Dave clashed with his old running buddy Shawn Mackay. Dave and Shawn engaged in a bloody war over the belt, ending up in a match at Total Carnage (NAW’S Wrestlemania). In a shock turn of events Destiny Shaw, the NAW owner turned on Shawn and aligned herself with Dave, in a business and personal since. Dave was to hold this title fore over 4 months before he was defeated by Daniel Golding in an epic encounter.
Back to EPW, Tony Clifton had left the company and Dave had found himself a new crew to hang with, which consisted of Danny English, the EPW champ, Kieran O’shea and Matt Reigns. It was with Matt Reigns that Dave captured the EPW tag team titles in an outstanding Tables, ladders, chairs and cars match at Date with Destiny.
EWF meanwhile had split form EPW and had established itself as a main player in the industry with such big names as Kalada, Micca T, Willie Williams, Jake Steel and they were joined by Dave, this time as himself. It was here that he captured the Trifecta title, and took his title tally to seven.
Since we Last Saw Dave McIntyre he has added a 4 more titles to his Résumé. He captured the OPW Tag team title with Daniel Golding shortly after his OPW debut, and the pair never lost the title as McIntyre left OPW after a career threading injury.
Over in EPW Dave captured the EPW Primetime title in an epic bout with thunder, and was also successful in defending the title in the rematch against the former EPW champion. He would eventually lose the title to former Tag team partner Matt Reigns. After the match Reigns attacked McIntyre, which brought out the returning Shawn MacKay to his defence. Tony Clifton returned a few weeks later, leading to the return of the most talked about group in history, Weapon of Choice.
EWF saw Dave and his NAW crew (McIntyre, Golding, Beckett & Razor) feuding with Profits gang of thugs murder express. It was during a double steel cage war games match that Dave pinned Profit to not only capture the X Title, but put an end to Murder Express.
In NAW (the fed not the stable) Dave split from his long time running buddy Maverick and turned face during a European tour, the world was in shock. On the one year anniversary of NAW at Claim for supremacy Dave emerged victorious again, capturing his second World Heavyweight title in front of his hometown crowd in Edinburgh, defeating Evsha, Maverick and Schuessler in the process.
After a great return to OPW Dave picked up the groups prized posession, The World Heavyweight title, in the first ever one on one meeting between the Great Jake Steel and The Chosen One.
With 12 titles in his career, you can bet he is still hungry for more gold.
In may 2006, in EPW dave won title number 13, unlucky for some, but not him, when he cashed in a television title shot and beat Dino Kang in an epic encounter.
Title 14 came in a stragnge fasion. Dave had just joined TNA, when he was used as a last minute substitute in the 3 stages of fanboard hell match, pitting 3 TNA mambers and 3 Fanbaord members against each other for the ultimate prize, the TNA/FB undisputed title. dave beat off legends like Mr Pink, Lockness and more, to capture the title. The very next week however Dave turned his back on TNA, and jumped to Fanboard.
Number 15 came in Daves only venture into MMA, as he took to the octagon in 7CF, Dave took their world title in his first night in the federation, as he beat his old foe profit in a shoot fight lasting more than 40 minutes.
Title 16 was the big one, the one he had chased for all his life, the EPW World title. Dave captured the title from his old friend Jake steel in an emotional match, to become the first man ever to capture the EPW grand slam.
Now in the general managers position in PWO, Dave also leades heel group the establishment. Stepping only in the ring when the need arises these days, Dave has become not only a legend in the ring, but an established booker out of it.

SAMPLE ROLEPLAY:
The scene opens in a cemetery, the rain is falling hard and fast, the low rumble of thunder can be heard the distance. The camera darts around franticly, trying to find who it is looking for, it finally focuses in on Dave McIntyre, dressed from head to toe in black, compete with a black baseball cap. He is on his knees in front of a grave, we cannot see the name on the tombstone, and we can barley see the figure through the driving rain.
It has been a long time, hasn’t it old man. God, it must have been a year since my last visit. How have you been? How is hell treating you?
McIntyre chuckles to himself as he pulls out a bottle of vodka and takes a long swig.
It’s been a long hard couple of years for me, after years of wrestling all of a sudden I found myself out of a job, I lost contact with my boys, and for the first time in my life I was alone. I had nobody to turn to, nobody to watch my back and I had to fight for myself.
A flash of lightning lights up the night sky and the rumble of the thunder begins to grow louder, as if it were coming closer. McIntyre looks up, startled by the sudden interruption. He shakes his head slowly and wipes the rain off his soaking face.
It was fun at first, I did not have anyone keeping an eye on me, and I did not have to worry about getting up and going out to the ring night after night. It was a life of heavy drinking, massive parties, and cheap woman. My god, there were mornings when I would wake up and not know where the hell I was, or who the girl was next to me. But I grew tired of this, I missed the competition, I missed going out and kicking peoples asses, I knew there was only one thing that would make me feel like the man again, and that was getting back into the ring.
However, you would not have liked that would you dad? In fact, you never liked the idea of me being a wrestler did you? You always tried to hold me back, tried to stop me following my dreams. What was it you used to say? Oh yeah, I remember ‘wrestling is only for kids and faggots son, your just wasting your time and my money.’
McIntyre reaches for his bottle again, and takes another mouthful. The rain continues to fall hard and bounce off the ground. The thunder continues to grow louder, the storm sounds as if it is almost overhead. Another flash of lightning illuminates the dark night’s sky again.
You were never proud of me were you daddy? You wanted me to grow up and work in the hotel trade just like you, didn’t you? Well I just could not do that, all I wanted to be since I was young was a wrestler. Then I got the chance to go to a wrestling school out in the states, but you would not help me out would you? You would not give me the cash to do it, you told me to make some sacrifices, save up the money on your own. You said you were not going to pay for me to train to be a ballet dancer in trunks.
So I thought to myself, how can I get my hands on that sort of money, and quickly? I mean I did not want to make too many sacrifices, I was a McIntyre for god’s sake, and we can afford whatever we want. That is when it came to me, the idea of how to get my hands on some money, I just needed to work out how to pull it off…
The scene flashes back to when Dave was a young man, just 18 years old. He and his father are in a car driving along a dark country road, there is snow falling thick and fast all around, making it very hard to see the road. Suddenly the car swerves off the road and into a tree. Dave managers to bail out of the car door before impact, his father does not and is injured in the crash. Dave’s father calls out for him to help him out of the car. Dave slowly walks over to the driver’s side door and looks into the crumpled car. Seeing that his dad is stuck, Dave begins anxiously to force the car door open. Then suddenly he stops, and the worried expression on his face gives way to a massive cocky smile. Dave walks round to the boot of the car and pulls out a container full of petrol. He walks round to the passenger door and reaches inside the car, he proceeds to empty the contents of the container inside the car and over his father, who has turned pale with fear, realising what is going on. Dave stands back slightly from the car, and looks up to the heavens and says ‘forgive me o lord, as what I do here is for the greater good’ Dave then turns his attention back to the car, as he pulls a box of matches out of his pocket. He has trouble lighting it at first, because of the fact that his hands are shaking so much, but he finally gets that match lit. He looks across at his father and shakes his head. ‘I’m sorry daddy’ he says softly ‘but you told me to make sacrifices. Guess what? My sacrifice is you.’ With that, Dave throws the match on to his petrol soaked father and watches the flames start to rise. Dave walks away from the car quickly and pulls out his cell phone to call for help. He turns round just in time to see the car explode, as the thick clouds of smoke fill the cold winters air.
The scene returns to the present day and Dave is now standing in front of the grave, he takes a long drink of the Vodka, the memories of that winters night seem to have shaken him a bit. However, as it did that night so many years ago Dave’s anxious look breaks into a broad smile.
That is how I got the money, wasn’t it dad? My inheritance, without it I would never have been able to afford to go to the states to go to wrestling school. This all could have been avoided though couldn’t it you silly bastard, all you had to do was give me the money, but oh no you wanted me to make sacrifices! Well dad, how does it feel? Did you like the sacrifice I made?
Dave laughs to himself and turns away from his father’s grave, he takes on last swig of his vodka before turning and hurling the bottle towards the tombstone. As the bottle makes impact, and smashes into millions of tiny bits, lightning fills the sky again.
See you in hell old man
Dave turns and walks away through the rain, as the camera zooms in on the tombstone, through the rain we can just make out the name Steven McIntyre.
