General Manager Casey Vega Hometown: Vancouver, BC, Canada Bio: Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Casey Vega grew up with the pro wrestling industry. When he was 5, his grandfather took him to the Pavillion Arena to see Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling. When the young Casey saw Brian Pillman sunset flip the monstrous Abdullah The Butcher off the top rope, he knew that his purpose in life was in that squared circle. At age 12, he was selling popcorn and programmes to spectators at the Pavillion, saving his money to take lessons from Bruce Hart at the infamous Hart Dungeon. Initially showing little progress, Casey soon began to impress Bruce with his ability to correct a sloppy bump with his quick reflexes. He joined the high school wrestling team, but shortly afterwards, the Vega family moved to Vancouver, BC. Through a favour from Bruce Hart, Casey got into a wrestling school, but didn't fit in with other students and quit after three weeks. Thinking that he needed a better career path, he went to college to study marketing and psycology. Halfway through, he dropped out to tour with his friend's punk band as their merch handler. Working a show at the old Pavillion Arena in Calgary, Casey ran into Bruce Hart, who had recently lost his little brother Owen to the notorious equipment malfunction accident. Filled with emotion, Casey immedeatly quit his job and started working as a referee with Stampede Wrestling. After a year, he started wrestling as a jobber, and was about to start a big push as an evil American character, until he botched a dropkick and broke his clavicle. Although the surgery was easy and he healed nicely, Casey decided he didn't want to risk any further injury and ended his in-ring career. He moved back to Vancouver to work as a marketer for Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling, where he learned the ways of the business side of pro wrestling. He soon became the lead talent recruiter for ECCW, a position he held for a year, until he was fired for constant insubordination toward the CEO. He left the industry to run marketing for a health food franchise until an inheretince from a deceased great-aunt granted him $100,000. He used the money to travel different parts of the world such as Brazil. Japan and Polynesia. In Japan, he attended a New Japan Pro Wrestling event that once again reminded him that his life's dream was to make it in wrestling, either in the ring or behind the scenes. Casey spent the rest of his inheritence money on a motorhome, and spent the next five years travelling around North America, picking up random gigs with various wrestling promotions as a squash jobber, as he still had a natural tendency to take any bump with no injury. He eventually returned to Vancouver where he was offered a job as the lead booker for ECCW, which was under new management. He stayed with ECCW for three years, then left the company to take a year-long sabbatical in Japan. While in Japan he met Tone Capone and Max Evans, two Canadian wrestlers who tagged together as Maximum Carnage who had just signed on with Elite Wresting Orginization, based in America. Casey offered to become the manager of Maximum Carnage, which with the addition of Mark Sullivan, had become EWO's hottest heel faction. However due to creative differences with the EWO brass, MC left EWO, hoping to one day start their own promotion. They realised their dream with the advent of Extreme Non-Stop Wresting, and Casey was offered the position of General Manager. Casey took this as his opportuniy to redefine pro wrestling in the 21st century and create a promotion unlike anything the wresting world has seen...... |
