Bio: One of the most prolific and integral superstars in PWA history, Vulture returned to full-time competition for PWA: The Rebirth’s first season after an injury-induced retirement in 2004. At times one of the most loved and hated stars PWA has ever seen, Vulture currently has the fans in his corner, following an intense and emotional return to competition at PWA's final show in 2006 to defeat his former friend and protégé Jackie Baccaro. With his wife Morgan Day at his side, Vulture made his triumphant return to the ring in The Rebirth’s first season, though it certainly had its ups and downs. During the season, Vulture learned that fraternal twin newcomers Chris and Alexis Duval were in fact his illegitimate children, though he was previously unaware of their existence. What could have been a joyous reunion was dashed when it was revealed that the Duvals were under Baccaro’s influence. After an emotional season spent trying to avoid fighting his son, Vulture and longtime friend Jason Calysto defeated Jackie Baccaro and Chris Duval for the PWA Tag Team Championship at Everlasting Epic VI. However, four weeks into the second season, Vulture and Calysto lost the titles to Texas Justice, leading Vulture to begin re-focusing on one final run as PWA Champion. In the process, Greg Tantalus approached him about reforming the deadly faction known as SIN that the two led to the top of the PWA eight years ago. Though Vulture initially rejected this idea, declaring that he wanted to reach the top on his own, he changed his mind somewhere before the Symphony of Destruction, where Vulture and Tantalus conspired to eliminate Jackie Baccaro from the PWA and secure the SOD victory for Vulture. With SIN back in the fold, Vulture went to Everlasting Epic VII to challenge Jason Calysto for the PWA title. After a 25-minute all-time classic war, Vulture succumbed to the Crossface, but just minutes after returning to the locker room, the Hall of Famer went into shock and was rushed to a hospital. Despite being advised to retire and a failed offseason physical, Vulture refused to listen, and finally passed a second physical just days before the start of the third season. Though Vulture is back in the fold for season three, the question remains: is he in any condition to compete, or should EE7 have been this legend’s swan song?
