History:
Night Wolf grew up watching Wrestling on television, and practiced moves he saw on his brother and his friends. He was kicked off the High school wrestling team for being "too agressive" (even after helping win the state championship in his freshman year). he joined an underground league, and left a path of shattered bones and blood in his wake. he perfected his skills in hardcore japanese wrestling leagues, where he stood out from the other "hardcore" wrestlers by displaying a unique blend of Technical skills, Brawling, Hardcore skills and inventing crap on the fly. He attracted a lot of attention from TNA and WWE while wrestling multiple, small promotions after his return to the USA. they scouted him on multiple ocasions, but all reporting that although he had great skill for his limited time in the buisness, he wasn't ready yet. that all changed when LFTEW started up after one scouting session, they snapped him up immediatley. He is now a world known superstar, where his unique style shatters dreams and amazes fans.
He and Christian teamed up to take the tag team titles from The Truth and The Franchise, but Christian left the company briefly after an altercation with then GM Barrett, where he hit him with a sledgehammer. Night Wolf started to go look for a partner. Truth answered the challenged to wrestle against Wolf for a chance to be his tag team partner, but lost. Night Wolf was declared the Unefied Tag Champion, meaning he could defend them on his on.
a little more than a month later, Sean Hawkwind declared his match with Night Wolf a title match, citing that he could defend them whenever he pleased. Night Wolf gave the Champion two Night Bombs to take the title and send him to the Hospital, where he later lapsed into a coma. Night Wolf was hit hard by that news, and felt guilty about it. he is the champion, but "it came with a price Hawkwind paid in full" as Night Wolf put it.
During a tag match, where he teamed with te galaxy champion, Truth against the contenders Polo and Dragon, he was given a Night Bomb by Dragon. this seemed to aweaken his inner beast. he lost the match, but had snapped the hold that Hawkwind's injury had over him. he was all set for Dragon's submission match
Dragon was attacked on his way to the arena, and the Submission match was not held. instead, it was a tournament for #1 contendership of the title, to be exorcised at the next night's show. Christian won, but also claimed that he was the attacker. in his match with Night Wolf, Dragon interfered, sparking a match to determine the true contender. Dragon won that, and the submission match was back on as planned. at Maximum Impact, Dragon and Night Wolf collided. in the match, Dragon tried using Tayna Macleod to cause damage to Night Wolf. it backfired on him and he turned on his manager. Night Wolf got him away from Tayna, and at the end of the match, Night Wolf was able to claim both the title as well as Tayna. his celebration was short-lived, however, as a security guard stationed outside the ring turned out to be Hawkwind, making his return. he nailed Night Wolf with a Running Downward Spiral. Night Wolf was out.
tending to some issues dealing with a friend's death, Night Wolf seemed to gain religion, and is bringing his new-found spirituality to the ring. he sees both Dragon and Hawkwind as unworthy of having the belt, citing Dragon's sins of the flesh, and Hawkwind's decisions. He says he is standing up for what he beleives is right, and noone is going to stand in his way of salvation.
no one.. except The Dragon. in the event he lost the match, Tanya was to go with Night Wolf (at this point, he re-named himself Jim Rourke) to await Dragon's next shot, which was to come in a so-called F.U.C.K.E.M. match with The Dragon, Rourke, Tommy Polo, and The Truth. during the match, Tanya showed her true loyalty when she knocked Rourke out while the ref wasn't looking, allowing him to not answer the 10 count, and lose the title. The Dragon eventually won, beating Tommy Polo in the final round.
when SFW adopted The Corporation as it's governing body, one of the first acts was to pair Jim Rourke with his long-time rival, Sean Hawkwind. at Cutting Edge II, the globally syndicated pay-per-view event. they won the tag titles, however... shortly after, the company folded and Rourke was out of a job.
fortunatley for him and the fans for ACW, a talent scout was at one of the matches, and shortly after the company folded, Rourke was sined to compete on Saturday Night Fallout. what does the future hold for him? nobody realy knows, but whatever it is, it will not be happy for his opponent.
