RINGSIDE INFORMATION
Theme Song: "Fade Away" by Logic / "Everybody Stay Calm" by Run the Jewels (Champion)
Special Entrance: The arena lights flickers on and off as there is a visual on the EAW-Tron, that of a seemingly younger version of Luke Colter, standing on the corner in a neighborhood, a lost look on his face as his head was on a swivel, a paper bag in his hand as siren lights were seen and heard. Running full speed, cutting corners and taking shortcuts, you could see him look back before being frozen in his running stance. Several seconds later, glitches appeared before his image faded. The tron went blank as the intro to “Fade Away” by Logic blasted into play...
“All day (all day), everyday (everyday)
We was on that block until we made a way (we made a way)
Day to day, man that's the only way (only way)
They gon' know my name until it fade away”
Jumping onto the stage as he comes out, cupping his ears to the crowd as he uses his other hand to get the fans to raise the noise up even further. Going to the other side of the stage, he does the same as he got them to get a bit more louder for him. Hopping his way back to the stage, he does a quick spin with his back showing, pointing alas like Randy Moss, Luke rushes down the ramp before sliding into the ring and popping up.
“Fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade—
(Way, way, way), fade away
They gon' know my name until it fade away”
Celebrating with a lap around the ring and a hand up as he blesses the faithful fans with a kiss before folding his hands in the form of a prayer to which he then went to his corner to gather himself for the battle.

BACKSTORY:
Once an unknown, now a young standout in the industry, thanks to his ability to soak up knowledge like a sponge, it has allowed Luke Colter to become one of the many bright stars in Action Packed Wrestling. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Colter is apart of the new movement within APW, “The Dying Breed”. Standing by the man who helped with the decision of bringing Jair into APW and stands as a good friend, damn near like a ‘brother’, Anthony Bailey, he is also alongside another man who he considers like family in “The Smooth One” William D. Williams, the three are out to become an unstoppable force. Born on the third-tier show, “Meltdown”, Luke started making waves with his work ethic and ability to learn quickly from the game. His movement, his old school/new school maneuvers have earned him some spotlight. Always humble, calm but in the ring, it’s all about business. The coolest dude on the planet but can be your worst enemy if you choose to ‘test’ him.
Out of “Golden Boy Studios” wrestling school in Upper Manhattan, that is owned by his mentor, the one who saw huge, huge potential in him, Juan Ramirez, Luke is a graduate of his camp. With all these great minds around him and with each day that passes, all the knowledge he gains, it will certainly show in the progression as he continues through his career.
Signed with EAW in August of 2017.
