CHARACTER HISTORY
As a young adult, Marquise Bridges was more of “The Problem” than “The Solution”. While Marquise was never a bad person at heart, Brooklyn has never been the easiest place to lead a safe, positive, and productive life. Falling victim to his environment, stereotypes, assumptions and accusations, Marquise had to survive life through whatever means were available to him at the time. Growing up as an only child in a struggling family with his hard-working mother and a military father, that unfortunately passed while he was very young, Marquise was never well-off. To financially support both himself and his mother, he got involved in a life riddled with gangs, selling drugs, petty crimes and fighting. Having grown up in that environment, and having experienced jail time, Marquise is by no means a pushover or underdog when it comes to fighting both physically and figuratively. At his lowest of low points in life, Marquise was barely scraping by, abusing alcohol and was very much in an unhealthy mental state. During this trying time, Marquise happened upon a flyer for a local wrestling school and, having remembered his mother’s love of wrestling when he was growing up, he decided to give it a try. Fast forward through a few years of training and picking up boxing, Marquise Bridges came to realize he was pretty good at this whole wrestling thing, but he still didn’t feel full. He was definitely a professional wrestler getting reliable independent bookings, but he wanted to do more. Using his charismatic personality, his yearning to do good and be something bigger than himself, Marquise was able to use wrestling as a way of creating change. Instead of using wrestling as a platform to preach, he used it to fund and build up all of his charity work, volunteer work, community outreach and various other helpful ventures. He runs a children’s program which he named “Building Bridges” that deals with school help, provides family support, counseling, summer camp, job opportunities and fundraising for multiple causes/charities. He still lives modestly, preferring to use his money on everything mentioned before, other than necessities. Marquise is grateful for his place in life/professional wrestling and has never explicitly intended to be the #1 in any company. He would rather be the #1 in the hearts of the people and help improve lives through his outside work, however attaining the #1 spot would enable him to do much more. This kind-hearted man wants nothing more than to contribute good to his community and stretch to wherever in the world he can. Marquise Bridges looks to be “The Solution” to whatever may be “The Problem” in any situation.
