Bio: When Anthony Failla first surfaced in CAW back in 2000, he immediately tore through the promotion, unleashing a reign of terror that culminated with the longest and most dominant reign with that company's heavyweight title to that point. Then, after the transition to PWA in 2002, Failla lost that air of invincibility. After the PWA went belly-up in 2006, however, he reinvented himself. Failla moved to Chicago and trained non-stop, hoping to one day gain a chance to rewrite the final chapter. In 2010, The Rebirth gave him that opportunity and he made good on it, upending Jaguar for the PWA World Heavyweight Championship just a few short weeks into the season. From there, it was like Failla never missed a beat, reclaiming his spot as the dominant player in the organization. That is until he was defeated by Dan Crowley in a triple threat championship match at Everlasting Epic VI. However, when Failla returned for season two, he was able to do the one thing he never could do before the Rebirth Era: he retained his air of invincibility following a high-profile loss. Failla earned the respect of the fans in season two as he feuded with SIN, culminating with a victory over the powerful faction in a gauntlet match at Everlasting Epic. With SIN likely now in his rear view mirror, can Failla recapture the gold in season three?
