(RTL) The Fiery Road To Riches & Glory of Dante Rosario

Let's get one thing clear. I didn't enter this business at first for the love of it. It wasn't because of some fiery passion. It wasn't because of some childish dream. The power of the dollar has always motivated the common man, and in my case it was no different. My ambition to thrive in this business is driven by nothing but pure, cold, hard cash.

Middle child of five boys to a single mother that worked two jobs to scrape by. Growing up in poverty in the gritty section of Baltimore, Maryland, the motivation to get money by any means was an essential trait to survive.

Hand-outs were non-existent. If you weren't a genius or a high school sports star with an one-way ticket to an university then your only hope of making it through adulthood was a drive to hustle and be a go-getter. That and street smarts and an ability to throw-down in a fight at a moment's notice.

Trying to keep a tightly ran ship in her household and steer my two younger siblings on the right path, my mother was forced to kick me out at age 18. I couldn't really blame her, I'm not too selfish and self-centered to not see that I was a bad influence like my two older brothers that were kicked out years before for the same reason.

Holding no grudges or anger I proceeded to rough it out on my own, doing odd jobs here and there. Though my drive for hustling was high I stayed away from the drug game. My older brothers were getting by with that route just fine, but that was one venue I pledged to myself I would keep at bay for moral reasons.

While it wasn't exactly striking gold, after a year I finally found a consistent gig at a new nightclub in the midst of a grand opening. The club owner was looking to have an impressive and capable force of bouncers ready on day one. No extensive interview was needed fortunately, thanks to my size and my natural intimidating scowl I was hired on the spot.

A few months have passed. It was while working this gig that I had bumped into a guy that was scouting potential would-be wrestlers one particular night. I forget the guy's name, but after gawking at me for five minutes he suddenly blurted that I had the look of someone that could make it in the wrestling business. He was a talent scout for Mid Atlantic Wrestling, a small wrestling promotion operated here in my very own city. I shook my head and laughed at the guy, telling him there was no real fast money to be made being a pro wrestler. He replied by saying that I would indeed be making piss change while initially starting and getting my feet wet, but with the right tools and drive I could one day succeed and be raking in the big cash with the likes of USPW, TCW, or SWF. He later added, as if mentally digging through my closet, that as a bonus it would be a respectable and legit gig, something that I would be looked up to and admired by fans and more importantly loved ones. My mother and my two younger brothers' flash across my mind at that instant. While pondering it the scout reached into the pocket of his vest and pulled out to me a business card of a trainer if I was interested in giving the industry a try.

Eight months later I had completed my training...

Sounds interesting

Hopefully we can see a full career with this one. Sad that there aren't many WreSpi dynasties.

<div style="text-align: right;">Full Name: Dante Manuel Rosario</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Date Of Birth: January 1st, 1994</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Debut: January 2014</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Billed Height: 6 ft. 3 in.</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Billed Weight: 235 lb.</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Billed From: Baltimore, Maryland</div>

<div style="text-align: right;">Trademark/Signature Moves: "Stamp Of The Alpha" (Running Big Boot)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">My first few months in the business were spent tagging with a fellow young buck that already had a few years of pro wrestling experience under his belt,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="150" height="150" alt="" src="<a href="http://s24.postimg.org/85wg9bsdt/Mercutio_Sleep.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://s24.postimg.org/85wg9bsdt/Mercutio_Sleep.jpg"></div></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">Mercutio Sleep.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">With his fluid cruiserweight style packed with finesse coupled with my rough no nonsense and hard-hitting approach, we provided an entertaining mixture of in-ring action.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">By April we were becoming a hot product in the Baltimore, Maryland area. The city's own Mid Atlantic Wrestling were knocking on our door, interested in bringing us on their roster. Mercutio would apparently decline at first, citing personal reasons for wanting to remain on the independent circuit. I wouldn't follow his lead however, I'd be damned if I let the chance slip me by to further my career. I was admittedly quite abit green in terms of skill, having shadowed Mercutio quite abit in the past to hone my craft. However, my skill in providing a good entertaining brawl coupled with a recent bit of strength training to add to my powerhouse arsenal gave me confidence that I would have what it took to make an impact.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="150" height="150" alt="" src="<a href="http://s7.postimg.org/u85pwgi07/MAW.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://s7.postimg.org/u85pwgi07/MAW.jpg"></div></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">Mid Atlantic Wrestling Run (2014)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">My first month with MAW came and went without a hitch. I would debut as a cocky heel, inserting a bit of my street smart and wise cracking Baltimore personality to make my character stand out from being too generic.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="150" height="150" alt="" src="<a href="http://s13.postimg.org/hqj7j5hyr/Lisa_Bowen.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://s13.postimg.org/hqj7j5hyr/Lisa_Bowen.jpg"></div></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">To garner maximum heat for my character and to take a bit of attention from any stinker matches I might have early on, Lisa Bowen would be assigned as my manager.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">My first four matches set me up as an undeniable force to be on the lookout for in the future, as all but the last one were fairly one-sided squashes. The last match for April saw me go toe-to-toe with a fellow youngblood by the name of</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="150" height="150" alt="" src="<a href="http://s16.postimg.org/4qrmngsq9/Robbie_Wright.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://s16.postimg.org/4qrmngsq9/Robbie_Wright.jpg"></div></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">Robbie Wright. We were engaged in a minor feud from the on-set of my debut, both trading insults via online promos uploaded to MAW's online YouTube channel. Finally our big confrontation had arrived and I ended up coming out on top, thanks to a timely distraction from Lisa that enabled me to hit Robbie on the chin with the Stamp Of The Alpha for the win.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Following that match I would be approached by owner Sam Keith about the idea of forming a tag team with one of his top protoges,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="150" height="150" alt="" src="<a href="http://s4.postimg.org/aescmw355/The_Architect.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://s4.postimg.org/aescmw355/The_Architect.jpg"></div></a>

<div style="text-align: center;">The Architect. Knowing teaming up with another talented wrestler would be best if I wanted to improve as fast as possible, I accepted.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">On May 2014, The AoD, The Architects of Domination, was formed, and with the managerial services of Lisa Bowen we would would carve a path of destruction through MAW's bottom feeding and eventually the middle of the pack tag teams. The strong booking and the heated crowd reactions we received during our undefeated made us one of the must-see attractions for MAW, and by December we were clearly looked at as blue chippers with bright futures.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">December would also bring in a major surprise, atleast for the on-screen Dante Rosario. Mercutio Sleep would finally make his debut and team up with Robbie Wright to attempt end our streak before the year's end. The matches AoD would have against the team of Sleep and Wright would be our best yet, and many times it looked as if the streak of domination would end. The devilish thwarting of Lisa Bowen would be essential in escaping 2014 without a blemish on our win/loss record. At this point the portion of the IWC that followed MAW were constantly wondering when AoD would be placed in the Mid Atlantic Tag Team Title picture.</div>
