Brief Bio:
Jack O’Grady is a well-travelled professional wrestler that has lived a life devoted to grappling. He holds a black belt in judo, competed at the highest levels of wrestling from elementary school to college at the University of Iowa, and has spent the last two decades traveling the world with wrestling promotions. In that time, he’s developed the reputation as a consummate grappler with pristine technique and a massive chip on his shoulder for a business he sees as moving further and further away from the purity he so admires.
In recent years, this chip has had more of an impact on his work and he’s struggled with his reputation with promoters and wrestlers alike. He sometimes over-imbibes with alcohol, particularly whiskey, and that habit has landed him in trouble.
