COMMENTS:
He may have grown up as a country
boy but this chiseled and confident Urban Outlaw has
demonstrated a lot of the city smarts needed to fight
the toughest and wiliest competition that UPW has to
offer. With a young life rich with the rural values
instilled from growing up on a Fresno farm, Marshall
also benefited from the physical demands found there; as
he early on excelled in school sports, most notably
football and wrestling.
“My dad had been a state champ in high school
so he personally trained me from the time I was a small
kid. From the day I was born, it seems, we were rolling
around on the rug at home.”
Starting amateur wrestling in
sixth grade, he progressed quickly but an unfortunate
incident with a high school mat coach who he said
“played favorites” made him decide that after
graduation he
still had something to prove, so before long he was
seeking out the best local pro wrestling camps in his
area.
“I started training in Fresno
but the instructor pointed
me towards UPW because he felt that it had the best
school with some great connections to bigger leagues.”
Making the long drive down here weekly from his hometown
to train and participate in our Saturday light shows,
Knox soon came across his cousin, Outlaw Mike, who was
also an outstanding student and an already well-known So
Cal indy star. “We
realized the connection and before long our tag team was
formed.”
With much success over the past
few years, Marshall now wants to see the Outlaws ascend
to even even greater pinnacles of success and doesn’t
rule out the chance that he, too, may even try out a
solo match or two if the chance presents itself.
“I’m gonna do whatever is
necessary to make money and find gold in this
federation, whether it be with my cousin or by myself
someday. Isn’t that what it’s all about?”
Seeking gold is
indeed what it is all about here in Ultimate Pro
Wrestling, and with his power-packed arsenal of physical
skills, it may be only a matter of time before Outlaw
Marshall Knox proves that promise to be more than just
an idle boast.
