Bronson Box Biography

Hollis McAllister was born in Scotland that much we can say, beyond that the details are sketchy at best. His story truly picks up during a long stretch in the UK's prison system for armed robbery. Spending his time in prison wisely he started training with Spud Collins, an old journeyman wrestler who's heyday was well behind him that volunteered at the prison running little wrestling clinics for some of the inmates. Grappling and weight lifting became his only hobbies. They became his life. His religion.

Spud took a liking to Hollis, becoming Hollis' mentor. Upon his release from prison Spud got Hollis dates with several tours around the UK and Europe wrestling. The old man knew talent when he saw it, and this young man had it. A new name, a new look, a new attitude... Bronson Box, a bare bones old school style shooter with a short fuse.

Like any good aspiring pro wrestler worth his salt he took a side gig as a bouncer at a local dive bar Spud told him was a notorious hangout for grapplers from nearby then NeWA affiliated Ricochet Wrestling. It was here Bronson met Evan Hurley and the door to a brand new world began to slowly swing open for the future Original DEFIANT. After years working the brutal European "death" tours and battling on the UK indies for nothing, Hurley got Bronson his shot almost by happenstance.

In a haste to fill an empty spot on the card Eric Dane signed Bronson backstage at DEFIANCE's very first show. Thankfully the scrub Dane had had high hopes for no showed the event. Knowing this sort of chaos happens all the time when someones crazy enough to launch a wrestling company, Hurley urged Bronson to "show up with his gear and be ready to jump at any opportunity to get your ass in that ring."

After a run as the tag team "The Wargods" Boxer violently split with Hurley breaking his back with a devastating Bombasto Bomb right into the exposed turnbuckle and threw in with Stephen Greer, Heidi Christenson and Jeff Andrews as the new look Hydra faction.

The group went on to cause DEFIANCE months of pain and suffering. From unwarranted assaults to actual kidnapping Hydra tore their way through the DEFIANCE roster one by one until Box found himself face to face with the last WfWA World Heavyweight champion "The Spoiler" Boston Bancroft. It was the feud that made Boxer's career up to this point.

The aforementioned kidnapping was referring to Boston's son who Bronson and Hydra managed to kidnap (why weren't they arrested? don't ask so many fuckin' questions) and hold captive for a number of weeks eventually forcing Boston's hand and a very special World title match was made. The two (along with Cancer Jiles, Edward White and Chris Cannon) were involved in the first ever five way DEFIANCE Ladder War to unify Boston's WfWA World title with the vacant Defiance Heavyweight Crown. A match that come hook or crook Bronson walked away from the Unified DEFIANCE World Heavyweight champion.

After losing the strap back to Bancroft during season three after months of a bloody back and forth battle Bronson lost focus, eventually suffering several embarrassing losses to the recently debuted Eugene Dewey. Needless to say Box didn't take that shit very well, lashing out one night at a young female production assistant sending the girl to the hospital.

The ensuing legal catastrophe nearly had ESEN close DEFIANCE altogether, not wanting to have their name dragged through the mud due to one unhinged wrestlers actions. Bronson was released... for a bit. Bronson was eventually resigned by then Heritage League owner Cito Conarri out of spite for his Evolution League counterpart Elijah Goldman. Bronson missed most of the Master of Wrestling tourney, as usual he was more focused on causing trouble and upsetting the status-quo.

After a few months back in the fold Bronson assembled his Moral Majority. A refocused Frank Dylan James and his companion from his youth Virginia Quell. The trio would further evolved when Bronson decided to throw their cards in with a new financial benefactor, The Socialite Edward White. Taking the name "Blood Diamonds" for the new affiliation.

Their main targets being superstars they deem weak or unworthy to fight under the DEFIANCE banner. Everyone from The Untouchables to Christian Light to Ed's former tag team partner COOL Cancer Jiles, they've all felt the wrath of this cadre of volatile grapplers.

Eventually Bronson's wrath fell right on the doorstep of then FIST of DEFIANCE Dan Ryan, the two becoming embroiled in a bitter blood feud that left Bronson's companion Virginia Quell partially paralyzed at the hands of an out of control Dan Ryan... the world famous superstar pushed to the psychological limit by Box. The two clashed in a brutal matchup at the Ascension PPV, Box winning the FIST from The Ego Buster under questionable circumstances.

When DEF was kicked off ESEN and began their Grindhouse world tour in Japan, Bronson and The Ego Buster put each other through a physical and emotional hell. Ryan taking the FIST back from Bronson on the first night of the tour. After several more encounters the two met in a horrific Taipei Death Match that saw the Wargod pull everything from his bag of tricks to walk away the two time FIST of DEFIANCE.

The Original Defiant eventually lost control of his Blood Diamonds, Edward White forcing him from the group and shelving The Wargod, barring him from competition. Not a word was heard from Bronson for months... until the Aftershock PPV. It was after Eugene Dewey's victory and shocking heel turn, Box returned to align with his long time rival and decimate Dusty.

DEF* MAX found Bronson finding his sea legs again, picking up some incredible wins finding himself squaring off against Frank Holiday in the finals in losing effort. It was after this match DEFIANCE saw the return of Dusty Griffith from exile... and his target was the man who almost ended his career. Bronson and Dusty would dust up over the next few weeks, the two eventually meeting face to face at ACTS of DEFIANCE... a match Bronson walked out the victor.

With Griffith vanquished and his point proven Bronson moved his focus back to the FIST of DEFIANCE... still strapped around the waist of his "comrade" Eugene Dewey, where it's been for almost two years. Eugene, however, has painted himself into a corner... having to face not only Boxer, but Lindsay Troy and Dan Ryan in a four way LADDER WAR for the championship at Ascension.

Dan Ryan shocked... well, he shocked his sister-in-law with a Humility Bomb off the ladder to win Eugene's title. But that all's beside the point... seeing as a few minutes before that Lindsay Troy in the heart of battle went to town on Bronson's face with Bronson's own Spike leaving his already weak right eye further mangled. Ever since, The Wargod's mental state is now in question... with revenge being the ONLY thing on his mind. At the DEFIANCE Road PPV Boxer challenged Troy to a SPECIAL cage match... a custom made, doorless cell called the WARCHAMBER. The two ripped each other apart inside the chamber, the Spike and even a few throwing stars were plundered by Troy as she managed to overcome the Wargod and leave him laying... yet another outside star baptized in blood by the Bombastic Bronson Box, reborn a true DEFIANT.

After his war with Troy, the ENTIRE next year of his career was spent in an all out bloody war with the Murray brothers, Andy and Cayle. Resurrecting a blood feud from when all three men called the UK indie scene home. First, two young rookies (Andy and Boxer) sewed the seeds of disdain as Andy dominated a young Bronson Box. A few years after that a more seasoned Boxer took the younger Murray to task in a bloody series of matches. Now a lifetime later the three men went to war once more... a Scottish Civil War. Superstar Andy Murray's sound defeat at the hands of DEFIANCE's violent ACE was shocking... but nothing compared to the months upon months of vicious mind games that followed between Andy's brother Cayle and The Wargod.

After defeats both physical and mental, a full YEAR of brutality Cayle FINALLY found it in himself to overcome Bronson in one of the most uniquely chaotic matches DEFIANCE nay the wrestling world has ever seen. A NO ROPES, NO DQ MATCH. When the dust settled Cayle was the one left standing...

Several years pass, one or two quick one off matches here and there but nothing Earth shattering. Until one day DEFIANCE brass decided to honor Bronson with an induction alongside his longtime rival and sometimes tag team partner Eugene Dewey, into the DEF Hall of Fame- this combined with the a random act of kindness from fellow Scot Gage Blackwood pointed the Wargod back towards the company he made famous. Older and wiser Boxer has tried to keep his cool and for the first time be a force for good inside the squared circle. Gage and Box managed to take down legendary tag team Mason and Max Luck, immediately establishing themselves as a team to beat- but a loss to Dr. Ned Reform shook Boxer's confidence something fierce.

Bronson knows the truth of it. He knows what sort of legend he wants to become in the wrestling business. His legend won't be built on title belts and tourney wins. It won't be because people see him as "the best"... Bronson Box will be a legend because people fear him. Does he want to be the champion? To main event the pay per view? Obviously.

But at the end of the day Bronson will live up to his claims of being "the greatest attraction in sports and entertainment today" by making sure the faithful worship at no other altar but his, win or lose. It'll be his name on the fans lips no matter who parades around calling themselves "champion."

Bronson's legacy will be one of blood and fear, not gold and glory.


With the faithful chanting his name.

1. Religious like resolve to be the best fighter on the planet. His one goal in life, his one singular want is to be known as the greatest fighter of all time. Not through victories and title wins but through pure vicious wild unhinged intimidation.

2. Unbelievably strong. He may be on the smaller side but at times Bronson has displayed almost superhuman strength, heaving even the biggest grapplers over his head with relative ease. His strength training regimen is looked at by most of the DEFIANCE locker room as just utterly brutal.

3. Strong chain wrestler. While Box has shown to be more comfortable simply throwing guys around and dropping them on their skulls, Box has a very refined mat wrestling game and can stand toe to toe with just about anyone hold for hold on the canvas.


 

1. Bad right eye after having it nearly POPPED out of his head by a vicious flying 360 Mongo Chop from Cancer Jiles. A couple of years after that, the same eye was viciously attacked by Lindsay Troy during Ladder War II at Ascension with Bronson's own Spike! Has a slightly limited field of vision on that side.

2. Small stature, at just under six feet tall (and that's stretching it) Box honestly isn't the biggest wrestler on the roster. He may have a truck load of haggis fueled muscle packed on his frame, said frame just isn't that tall.

3. Easily distracted / VERY short temper. Bronson's quick temper can easily be used against the Wargod. Bronson is a sick sociopath but he's not beyond manipulation. The angrier Boxer gets, the more reckless and foolish he becomes.
