Jason Natas Biography

Don’t ask the man about his upbringing: �"not good” is all you need to know, and you’re more likely to receive a scowl than an explanation.

A Svengali-like management team plucked him from street-fighting obscurity in 2008. He went from fighting bums in basements to tangling with the best wrestlers in the world on PRIME’s biggest stages, with middling results.

Jason couldn’t adapt to his business. He loathed the politics and pageantry, and reacted violently and angrily to those who those who challenged him. A pugilist in a grappler’s world, he never truly found his footing in the federation, and was fired for behavioural reasons shortly after a signature victory over PTC legend Jay Phoenix.

His big payday gone, Jason turned to cigarettes, alcohol and other vices. Abandoned by his management and lost without direction, he fell into the gutter: an overdose sunk him into a near-fatal coma, and it seemed only a matter of time before slipped-off his mortal coil entirely.

Everything changed when he woke-up. Nothing makes a man more thankful for his existence than a brush with death. Jason knew he had to do something with his life, and his best shot was the make the most of the one thing he was ever good at: fighting.

Jason poured everything into become the best wrestler possible, but it wasn’t easy. His reputation meant a scarcity of bookings, and living below the breadline pushed his limits, but when bookers saw the effort (and the increasing skillset), things started to change for the good.

After a few years plugging away on the indy circuit, DEFIANCE came knocking. The new, improved Anti-Superstar was back in the game.

Until his knee ligaments fell apart. 

PRIME.  

None.  

None.  

Once one of the most reviled villains in PRIME, Jason Natas is a reformed character. Having suffered a near-fatal overdose following "comeback" match loss to Lindsay Troy on PRIME's 2012 farewell tour, Jason experienced an epiphany as his life hung in the balance. Stricken by guilt spawned by years of misdeeds, Jason knew he had a huge corner to turn and a mountain of wrongs to right. Treating the rest of the world like dirt on his boots had done nothing for him, and he returned to life (and wrestling) with a more balanced moral compass.

With Jason, there's no desire to play the hero, or be a knight in shining armour. His redemption is quiet and internal: he'll no longer go looking for trouble, but if it finds him, he'll still handle business. He's aloof, never makes an unnecessary scene, and keeps his cards close to his chest, often coming across like a character in a Clint Eastwood western. He's gained a significant cult following in recent years for his brutally hard-hitting moveset, sharp tongue and willingness to throw down. Having rebuilt himself on the US indie scene, his skills have become a wanted commodity once again, though his past's darkness continues to loom large. 

1. Grit. Tough as old boots. Willing to go on and on and on and on, even when his body isn't.
2. Damage Sponge. Able to absorb huge amounts of punishment before going down.
3. Impact. Doesn't know a lot of moves, but everything he does hurts like all hell. 

1. Poor Athleticism. Say no more.
2. Lack of Versatility. Fights one way, and one way only.
3. Mileage. Dude's renowned for taking huge amounts of damage in his matches, and it's taking a toll.
