Bio:
Born and raised in NYC, Finesse Simmons was bred to be in the spotlight from day one. A photogenic and vibrant child, Finesse excelled in sports from when he was 5. A stand out athlete from grade school all the way up to college, he was an all state Linebacker AND Power Foward in his H.S., Kennedy High School located in The Bronx. Finesse by Senior year was a not only a stout, muscularly chiseled masterpiece, but with his unique gray eyes and dashing god looks, he was voted most likely to become a model in his H.S. yearbook.
Receiving a full scholarship to attend UConn and play on there storied basketball team, Finesse soon found another sport that fast became near and dear to his heart.
Wrestling.
Finesse ended up trying out for the UConn wrestling team, and with his natural size and power, made the first string. For freshman and sophmore year, Finesse played both basketball and wrestled, until he finally decided wrestling was were he wanted to be. In the heavyweight division, Finesse soon earned tons of hardware, including the national title in the heavyweight division his senior year. He graduated UConn with a degree in Business, but instead of looking into the corporate world, Finesse saw his future in Professional wrestling. COUNTLESS standout amateur wrestlers had gone on to become big names in the industry, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley. All were world class grapplers who made the transition. Finesse unlike all of them, had something different. The look that companies drooled over. And more importantly, the females drooled over.
Finesse began training in the ways of Pro wrestling in Hoboken, N.J., and within a year was in his first independent organization. Instead of taking on a gimmick, his own out spoken personality would suffice. Wrestling simply as "Finesse", the fans took to the brash young man quickly. As his in ring skill shined, so to did the fact that it wouldn't be long before one of the big name companies came knocking. And the company that did was XWA. Going into it's second season, XWA gave Finesse an offer he couldn't refuse. Big arenas, big crowds, and big money. Everything he'd hoped for and more. Granted, he loved wrestling, but the idea of joining the traveling spectacle that was XWA was a dream come true. It didn't take long for Finesse to sign his first TV contract with the company. The skies are the limit for this promising blue chipper.
