DESCRIPTION OF PERSONAILITY: Jace is a no-nonsence kind of guy. There's one purpose for him climbing into the ring, and one purpose only; to beat his opponent.  He likely doesn't care about you, so nine times out of ten he'll be cold, blunt and aggressive toward you if approached. 


SUPPORTING CAST: Riley Calix. Riley was one of the first people that Jace met once he arrived in San Francisco from Cardiff. Riley also worked for So-Cal Ultraviolent, and offered Jace a place to crash until he made enough money for an apartment. Riley and Jace became close friends. They teamed together a number of times in So-Cal Ultraviolent, but also had a couple of bloody wars against each other.

SUPPORTING CAST BASE: Seth Rollins.

WRESTLER: The RSW Roster

REASONS: Simply put. Jace probably doesn't like you. Whether your cocky and egotistical. Or whether your a silent, masked Lucha. Or a self-proclaimed "Professional Asshole". None of that matters. Jace still wants to beat your skull in.

FAVORITE MATCH TYPES: Jace is a skilled technician and can easily work in a traditional format. However, his aggression and fondness for violence also benefits him in a hardcore environment. 
DISLIKED MATCH TYPES: Handicap matches, Submission-Only matches

IN-RING EXPERIENCE: Two years

IN-RING STRENGTHS: His very strong technical base, along with his striking power.
IN-RING WEAKNESSES: His lack of submission knowledge. Due to his high stamina and endurance, he can endure the hold for a period of time - but countering and reversing, it's near impossible for him to.
IN-RING ATTITUDE: From the opening bell, Jace begins the match very aggressively. Unleashing a barrage of technical maneuvers on his opponent that renders them defenseless sooner, rather than later.

B I O G R A P H Y

Jace was born in Cardiff, Wales to a single mother, the father abandoning her not long into her pregnancy. She lived at home with her mother, who too had no husband. While his mother and grandmother both worked steady jobs in various fields of work, Jace excelled in team sports - soccer (football) and rugby. At the age of Seventeen, Jace would begin his wrestling training. Friday nights and weekends making the seven hour train ride to Glasgow where he trained at the Glasgow Pro Wrestling Asylum, where he trained under Lionheart and guest trainer Nigel McGuinness. After finishing school, Jace relocated to Glasgow to finish his training at an expedited rate.

Upon finishing his training, Jace - again - relocated back to Cardiff where he would join an upstart promotion there. Working part time, he helped his mother and grandmother with various bills, while wrestling at every event this promotion put on.

In the ring, his aggression got him noticed. By word of mouth, promoters from all over the United Kingdom came looking for the young athlete and for the next three years, young Jace O'Brien competed in various companies all over the U.K. It was at the age of twenty-two when a company based in Southern California named "So-Cal Ultraviolent" contacted him to cross "the pond" and wrestle in front of an American fanbase. The So-Cal Ultraviolent company dubbed him as "the Count of Cardiff", a name that still sticks with him to this day, as he turned heads in every match he competed in, whether it was singles or in tag team matches after he paired with Riley Calix.

Now at the age of twenty-three, Jace has been contacted by the RSW company based in San Francisco, and offered a long-term contract.
