Gimmick/Background: “The Showman” Chris Crowe started off as a prodigy for the local Carnivale Championship Wrestling promotion at the young age of 16. By the age of 18, he was the cornerstone of the company. Women adored him, kids looked up to him, and men lived vicariously through him. He had one of the brightest futures of any professional wrestler, and even cracked the PWI Top 500 coming in at number 450 in 2011.
As quick as he rose to stardom, Crowe fell back down to a harsh reality when he suffered a horrific Torn ACL injury at the age of 20. For the past nine years, Crowe has attempted to get back into the spotlight, but life has stripped him of all he once was as it continues to spiral out of control. His Twenties have not been kind to him at all, and it has led him down a very dark and disturbing road.
“The Showman” name comes from Crowe being involved in a traveling Carnival company which tours alongside CCW. In his young days, Crowe would put on the performance of a lifetime with flips and splashes regardless if there were 5 or 500 people in the crowd. The nickname stuck after Crowe would nail up promotional posters around town and the townspeople began to refer to him as “The Showman from the Carnival wrestling”.

Crazy Harry has been at Chris Crowe’s side since he debuted for CCW. Harry has helped guide Crowe to the pinnacle of his wrestling career, but has also aided Crowe into the mess of a life he currently has.
Although Harry isn’t the best influence for Crowe, they share a brotherly bond- for better or for worse.
Harry is the only person who can get through to Crowe when Crowe reverts back to “That Place” he goes to mentally when things get tough.
As the name suggests, Crazy Harry isn’t playing with a full deck of cards, but is as loyal as one can possibly be to Chris Crowe.
Harry’s spontaneous personality sometimes leads to him occasionally slinging fireballs into the faces of Crowe’s opponents.
