It has been YEARS… What can I say? Firstly, Hi! My name is Tye.
i was formerly FPR Gamer/FPRG on the FireProClub forums and ThePRDragon on the FPWArena boards back in the day. I ran a zillion e feds and burnt myself out my entire teen years for 8 years straight haha.
I haven’t been on these boards in 4 years, Wow! Sorta disappeared outta nowhere in the middle of Covid lockdown. Reason for that, is I’m also an independent pro wrestler and have been in the business for the past 10 years. When COVID lockdown struck in 2020, I was sort of handed the book for my buddy’s local promotion he was booking. We were doing closed set filmings for weekly YouTube episodes of that promotion. It sort of happened by accident. I was originally creative assistance and then one day I found myself writing out and booking every match and segment/promo for the 26 weeks of “TV” via YouTube release for this promotion. The 6 months turned into 2 years and it took up a lot of my time. Ran a few more shows for them from til July 2022 where we had a live crowd show with 400 plus in a large venue for the 2 year anniversary of the shows I was booking, in a great sendoff.
I got fucked over by the owners of that company and they stole all the money that night from me and all the boys in the locker room so I never went back. I focused on starting my own promotion from the ground up and did just that with “OROCHI Pro Wrestling”! We ran several events last year and took a break this year while we rebuild but reception has been red hot even with the downtime this year. Who knew all those years of e-fedding on these same Fire Pro boards Would actually turn me into a pretty decent booker in real life? LOL
Aside from that, I am also a graphic designer as well and videographer and video editor doing freelance work. I design logos for fellow wrestler merchandise, promotions, podcasts, I design gear, you name it. I do other freelance stuff on Fiverr along with that though for the social media influencers and the YouTubers and whatnot as well. I own and run my wrestling promotion where I handle everything from the editing, the audio, the match graphics, the flyers, everything. It’s my passion project and my baby. Haha.
And I also have recently started a clothing company and merchandise line and online store, called “Swagger & Soul Apparel”, which spreads messages designed to hopefully change some lives for the better. It’s more urban style streetwear, however there is something for everybody, the men and the women. All manner of clothing as well as patches, stickers, phone cases, wallets, caps, etc. You name it, we have it. Each Swagger & Soul crafted design is unique and designed from the ground up. A lot of the designs feature slogans attached, giving each one a true meaning behind the art. These will touch on various topics of the average day to day person. Life after loss, suicide awareness, mental health awareness, boosting confidence for those that need it, etc.
Empowering the youth, and even adults of today. So that maybe, just maybe, I can help just ONE person not feel completely alone in the world.
I also became a father of legitimate children aside from my wrestling promotion LOL. I celebrated the births of my son and daughter. So I became a family man for a little while. Now I’m out here doing the single dad thing. Why does this sound like I am writing a match.com ad? Smh that was weird I dunno why I said that sorry. 😂🤣🤣 But honestly, fatherhood turned my life around into a complete 180 and it’s the most amazing job in the world. My favorite thing I’ve ever ever did in this life.😁
I started on the FireProClub forums when I was -shoot- 13. 😳 Now I’m 28, I’ll be 29 by the end of the year, and just living life one day at a time whilst striving for success in all avenues of my life, currently.
But yeah I have a lot going on at all times these days to keep myself busy. And it’s been very rewarding.
Don’t know that I’ll be jumping back into e-fedding myself (as in running my own anymore), but anyone with my edits from years back are always more than welcome to use them. I’m gonna try to stay up to date with those though, I was looking back on a bunch of old stuff today after stumbling across some old files and folders I came across on the computer and I knew I had to check in and see how you all have been the last few years!
If you’re in the SE PA/NJ/NY area, and want to catch a show sometime, shoot me a message, I’ll talk more on the promotion itself later if anyone wants to know about it but our branding and marketing strategy and game plan is going to set us a cut above all the other ABCD independent wrasslin shows around the tri state area.
Looking forward to catching up with you all again!
