Appearance: Bryson Tanner wrestles in trunks to show off his tattoos (various tribal decals, Ichthys tattoo on ankle.) He also wears wraps on his wrists and will sometimes wear MMA gear highlighting his legitimate background.

Outside of the ring he can often be seen in jeans and a leather jacket which he wears with a constant look of determination on his face. He has short spiked hair brown hair and a goatee.

Gimmick: Hard Working Wrestler disillusioned by the politics of the "business." Views what goes on the ring as a legitimate sport and wants to return it back to that. Even if that means hurting peoples feelings or using language that makes people uncomfortable. He has his own principles. He doesn’t want to be stepped on for a lifetime. Do you think he’s a begger? He’s waited for 10 years, just to wait for an opportunity. He wants to fight back, not to prove how amazing he is, but to show everyone he will reclaim what he lost.

Style: Westernized Strong Style/Independent Workrate.

Biography:

Growing up in a trailer park in Orlando, Florida, Bryson Tanner’s only escape from his abusive, alcoholic father was getting to see his heroes Hiro Shin-Mozas and Salem Croft on BBW every week using his girlfriend on the rich side of town’s HBO subscription. People at his school made fun of him for being different and he had to learn to fight to survive but by patterning himself after his idols he developed a never say die attitude that helped him overcome things. Then one day his old man took his Chevy down the I-4 and didn’t stop driving. It was the last day he saw him and Bryson vowed that day to break the cycle and always walk the straight path in life. To protect the women, the weak, children and journalists.

That was before he entered the cesspool that we call the wrestling business. Welcome to the sick and twisted mind of the Bryson ******** Tanner, driven to the absolute limit of insanity by the political games of the so called “boys” & carny promoters, he now spends every waking minute of his life using social media to blur the lines between fantasy & fiction. Is he working or shooting? A heel or a babyface? These are the questions wrestling pundits around the world ask themselves when entering the morally grey, kill or be killed universe of the Hardest Working Man in The God Damn Industry but one thing remains sure: Whether discussing his feelings on the ratings forecast for his video podcast, or exploring his interpersonal issues in promos nothing is off limits for B.T. except for one word (And that’s to protect you, not him.)

A blue chipper early in his career, Tanner’s stock fell after the COVID-19 pandemic following a publicized appearance on the Andrew Huberman podcast chronicling his research on the Pfizer vaccine. Now after years of toil on the indies The Good Soldier is poised for a comeback under the “WWFG ID” system. While he does appear on WWFG television, The 30 year old is actually an unpaid intern working for free in exchange for exposure, indie dates and an opportunity to meet his childhood heroes. In a business ruined by money, The W*******r is here to give each and every person they want even if “they” don’t want you to hear it.
