Bio: Greg Tantalus has had an interesting relationship with the PWA fan base over the years. When he first broke away from TFU tag team partner Mike Griffin, Tantalus developed into the most despicable villain on the roster, promoting his brand of sexism and intolerance all over the world. However, somewhere along the way, he endeared himself to the PWA faithful, who cheered him on emphatically as he finally defeated former partner Griffin at Everlasting Epic IV to capture the PWA Championship. In 2010, Tantalus returned to the PWA for the first season of The Rebirth, but soon found himself locked in a personal war with creative director Justin Schenck, who used nefarious means to lure Tantalus back to the PWA, crossing a deeply personal line. When we left off after Everlasting Epic VI, Tantalus was moments away from revenge, before Schenck unveiled his new insurance policy – Markus Krieg. However, this only drove Tantalus to return for the second season obsessed with revenge. He was able to buy Krieg’s loyalties away from Schenck, and reformed Strength In Numbers with Vulture and a new army of followers, turning the fans against him in the process. With SIN around to do his bidding and Tantalus seemingly descending into madness, what can he possibly have in store for the PWA faithful in season three?
