Height:

Hometown:
Berlin, Germany
Years in Business:
30

Winner of several international grappling & wrestling tournaments, wrestling championships and a Grappler's World Grand Prix (GWGP) winner five consecutive years.

Abilities:
Hammer Throw, Durability, Pullback, Escape, Strong Strike, Possum
Friends/Allies:
No friends specifically, more like a warrior's respect for those who prove themselves as formidable opponents. Only Jon Payne and Syrus The Entertainer have earned this "honor" thus far.
Enemies/Rivals:
Conversely, up to this point Magnus considers those two same men as his greatest challenges met thus far in the XWA.
Gimmick/Style:
A stoic, grizzled veteran of many years in wrestling. He's as straightforward as they come, not one to play on words or be affected by the "child's play" of the younger generation of wrestlers that dominate the XWA's roster.
Theme:
"Fever Dream" by Tyler Bates from the soundtrack of the motion picture version of "300" (same as 2009)
Bio:
A man of much experience in the sport of wrestling, the last few years have probably seen more progression for Magnus Von Schwartz than ever before in his long standing career. In 2009, Magnus returned stronger, faster and more dominating than even in his impressive first year with the XWA. On the cusp of capturing the XWA World Title from the then champion Syrus The Entertainer, Magnus made the mistake of being overconfident after defeat the champion twice in non-title contests.
In a Pure Rules match with every facet favoring the traditional grappler, STE pulled off a hard fought victory and retained his title, leaving Magnus empty handed and with a bitter taste of humility. Refocusing his efforts on earning another chance to become the World Champion, he entered Soul Survivor 2009 and impressively dispatched of some of the top stars of both the TakeDown and Overload brand on his way to victory and a place in the main event of XGAMES3 for the World Title belt.
Sadly, the elusive championship slipped through his fingers again as new champion Tommy Tryton defended the title in "The Last Dance" match. However, this time Magnus was not bitter, but rather focused. The man who claims to be the ultimate strategist now takes the experience of 2009 into the 2010 season, The "King Of Sport" comes into the new campaign every bit as physically imposing and technically sound as ever, but now far more cunning and well aware of just exactly what it's going to take to claim the championship of the world as his own.
