HARLEY TORRES
Meet The Hooligun
Harley is an excitable young man loving his life (for the most part). Although a history of drug and alcohol abuse once led him down the dark road of attempted suicide, the long road of recovery saw him become the most responsible he's ever been. He does his best to do it everything with a smile on his face and he can usually find a way to have fun in any situation, probably due to apparent ADHD that--hey, look! A squirrel!

Wrestling Info
Wrestling Style
High Flying/Lucha Libre - In one sentence, you could describe Harley as a spot monkey. Harley likes to have fun and he yearns to be on the highlight reel. He’d throw a dropkick before ever attempting a tie-up. If he is forced to grapple, he will try his best (and is capable of doing so) but it’s not his bread and butter.He’s gonna be flying all over the damn place!IRL Comparisons: TJ Perkins, Will Ospreay, Sammy Guevara, Trey Miguel (obvs), Ricochet

Biography
Harley was raised in Buffalo, New York by a single mother after his father abandoned them before he was even born. He began training in Taekwondo at the age of 13 and started training in professional wrestling at the age of 16. He admits to lying about his age for a number of independent bookings over the course of two years.He and his best friend Caleb Claudel officially signed with Cult Classic Wrestling in May of 2015 where they first competed professionally. By July 2015 they had found a new home in Neo-Gothic Industrial Wrestling, which was equally as short-lived as their time in CCW. However, by September of that same year they officially signed with Full Intensity Wrestling where they have taken the Brick Sharks name global under the company's banner. In less than a year they had become three-time FIW World Tag Team Champions. However, when the Lords of Salem arrived on the scene everything changed for the Brick Sharks. Harley developed a fascination with Jericho Cruz and an inability to bring himself to fight him resulted in the Lords of Salem winning the titles. Since then Harley grew more attached to Jericho and detached from Caleb. His inability to prioritize for the sake of the Brick Sharks led to a string of devastating losses that typically left Caleb in harm's way. It all came to a head when Caleb called for a break.Since then, he’s been wrestling all around the world.
Countless titles.
Countless adventures.The small kid from NYC had become one of the most well known high flyers in the industry alongside his boys Trey & Spectre, the HooliGunnZ.
