Trashcan Tim Biography

Tim Shaw is a modest man from Merigold that loves his mama and professional wrestling, in that order.

Growing up, Tim had always fantasized about being a pro wrestler but never quite knew how to make that a reality. Fortunately for him, he caught the attention of a traveling promotion. Tim's size, charisma, and obvious love for wrestling stood out to the promoter; it also probably didn't hurt that Tim enthusiastically said he'd work for free. The promoter invited Tim to drive the ring truck and set up the ring all across Mississippi in exchange for wrestling training, which he did for several months before being ready for his first match.

Prior to making his first-ever entrance, the promoter decided that "Tim Shaw" was a little too bland and they needed something with a little more pizazz. Tim, far from the creative type, was at a loss. The promoter, remembering that Tim had been a garbage man before coming onboard, decided that Trashman Tim was suitable and hastily communicated such to the ring announcer. The announcer misheard the request and mistakenly called him "Trashcan" Tim and the name stuck.

While hardly a technical wizard, Tim's enthusiasm and charisma caught the eye of DEFIANCE wrestling in late 2020. He comes to DEF wide-eyed and sincerely thrilled to be involved in the business he always dreamed he'd be in. 

 

 

 

Tim can best be thought of in the spirit of the Godwinns of years past: simple-minded but ultimately good hearted and principled. He's a big lovable goof that is truly ecstatic and grateful to be in the rasslin' business. His enthusiasm and genuine love of wrestling is absolutely contagious. He'll always fight for what he thinks is right and will protect his friend above all else. When push comes to shove, he can scrap. That said, he is susceptible to treachery and being manipulated by more wily foes. He is extremely gullible and always assumes the best in people.
