Owner
Hector Gonzales: The most important man in NAFW, and he'll be the first one tell you that. Hector is a very powerful businessman, having run numerous successful businesses thanks to being a filthy rich oil tycoon. He is very well known for his ruthlessness, but he's equally well known for his southern accent. But don't let the accent fool you: Hector Gonzales is no "red-neck." He can make or break careers - even lives - with a single order. Hector has the power to make all final decisions involving NAFW, from booking to business, but for this new era of NAFW, he’s allowing someone else to handle the inmates in the asylum while he stays out of sight of the television cameras unless there’s an extremely important matter to be addressed.
Commissioner
Ray Buchanan: Hand-picked by owner Hector Gonzales, Mr. Buchanan is in charge of running the show while the boss tends to the office. In his mid 40’s with graying hair, it looks like he’s had plenty of experience managing in his past. The Commissioner always dresses in a business suit because he knows there’s a lot riding on this new era of NAFW and it’s on his shoulders to make sure it’s a success. Buchanan works in collaboration with road agents, bookers, and the front office, but he has the power to book and sign matches on the spot, and keep the superstars in line with any disciplinary action he sees fit. The only person with veto authority over Commissioner Buchanan is Hector Gonzales, but don’t think petitioning the boss will do you any good: Hector has placed full faith in the judgment of the Commissioner.
Television Announcers
JB Mann: The rational, knowledgeable half of the NAFW Announce team, JB Mann is the primary play-by-play man for NAFW television and Pay Per View broadcasts. JB calls his partner "The Bear" and tends to favor the "face" wrestlers.
Tom "The Bear" Kalhoun: The irrational, semi-knowledgeable half of the NAFW Announce team, Tom Kalhoun is the primary color man for NAFW television and Pay Per View broadcasts. He occasionally adds words like "wheel" or "wagon" to people's names. Tom tends to favor the "heel" wrestlers.
Ring Announcer
Troy Gilmore: Part of the new NAFW was cleaning house, and while JB and Tom might have hung on to their jobs, not everyone else was as lucky. The new voice of the public announce system is a 26 year old named Troy. He stands at 5’10” with a firm build, and the sound of his voice ignites the feeling that a special match is about to go down, even if it’s the curtain jerker. Chances are he’s going to have a long career in this business.
Interviewers
John Mills: John Mills is a small man physically and is especially good at asking the tough questions. Of course asking those questions usually gets him into physical trouble. John is 5'8" tall, and weighs in at a hefty 120 lbs. He has blond hair and a thin goatee.
Rick Priestly: Rick Priestly is not a small man and often asks the most obvious questions, with only the occasional good one. Rick is 5'9" tall and weighs in at 214 lbs. (very little of which is muscle). Rick has dark brown hair, and is clean shaven.
Mark Herriot: Mark is like a happy medium between Rick and John. He'll ask both the obvious and the tough questions. Physically, he's 5'10", 153 lbs. Mark is of African descent, and wears a goatee.
Amie Carmichael: Amie is a part of the new face of the NAFW, and she’s a pretty one at that. She’s about 5’7” and she has sandy blonde hair. She gets the job done well enough, but make sure you keep your responses to the point. She might currently be single, but your pathetic sly attempts at hitting on her won’t work. She knows a true gentleman when she sees one.
Referees
Walt Mason: A veteran of the game, Walt Mason has been a referee longer than you’ve been alive. From his experience, he's built an interpretation of the rules which would be considered 'loose.' Basically, he'd rather see a pinfall or submission victory than a disqualification or count out, so he'll usually let a few things go in any given match. His line is hard to cross, but it's trouble if you do. In this new era of NAFW, Walt has been promoted to head referee, and he’ll make sure all the big matches go down like they’re supposed to.
James Elbourn: Called in personally by Hector Gonzales to be an associate referee to Walt Mason. He’s been in the business since the old territory days. He's seen it all and done it all. The other refs still look up to this man. Even the cocky ones. He’s capable of handling the big matches as well, and you better believe that if one referee goes down, he’ll be storming down the ramp to take his spot.
Phil Redding: Phil Redding is by the book all the way. His one weakness is that he's occasionally prone to rookie mistakes. At first, everyone thought it was due to inexperience. It turns out, he's just a bit of an idiot.
Jason Martin: A potential superstar in wrestling, Jason Martin's dreams were shattered right along with his neck. After a severe injury knocked him out of active competition for good, Jason, a true fan of the business had to get involved somehow... Now he's an NAFW referee, and easily the most physically intimidating of them. At 6'4, 273 lbs., Martin is the last referee you want to mess with. He'll let the wrestlers go at it as long as there's a clean winner... But if you do make the mistake of messing with him, he'll use force, and that's not good news for you.
Dave Connors: A young referee, Connors made his debut at Revolution 2002 in the classic era of NAFW. He's your standard referee, keeping mostly to the rules, but he'll be a bit lenient in big matches. He's young, but not inexperienced, so 'rookie' mistakes are uncommon.
Richie Howard: Richie has officiated all sorts of contests in the past. Everything from amateur wrestling to pro wrestling to mixed martial arts to ultimate fighting to boxing… He knows every rule in the book, but it’s his prerogative to enforce them or not. His vast knowledge and global experience is what prompted the boss to bring him in to round off his changes to the officiating staff.
Agents & Other Positions
James "Cougar" Clarke: Cougar is NAFW's wrestling encyclopedia. He doesn't perform interviews or join the announce team very often, focusing more on his duties as a road agent. He’s also the head of the booking committee once more, but don’t think he wants to hear about your demands. He knows how to do his job. He has a minimal on-air role these days, but Cougar is still active behind the scenes and writing the Cougar Report for the NAFW website.
Kramer: A former nut case commentator on Carnage and Pay Per Views, Kramer’s work on the mic greatly solidified as time went on. His love of Chronic, a former wrestler, has almost come to pass. Hector’s new vision for the NAFW didn’t require him to be an announcer, but he kept him on board as the head writer for the NAFW’s website, hoping that his new found knowledge of the industry will keep fans hooked on the product in this digital age. Unfortunately, Kramer’s partner Twitch was not as lucky as to find a position, and was given the axe for good. Word is he’s just a tiny bit bitter about it.
James Dunn: Uncle to former cameraman Andrew Dunn, James started his career as a cameraman himself. He joined NAFW behind the scenes as a production worker, and has risen to Head of Production for all NAFW broadcasts. He's never on TV, but he's there.
Charlie Jones: Head production truck supervisor. When someone says "Cut my music," he's the one that does it. Chuck's a short, stalky fellow of African American ethnicity and a pretty relaxed person for the most part. Scared and intimidated easily. Aren't all truck personnel??
Diane Clarke: Wife of Cougar Clarke, Diane is the Head of NAFW's medical team. It's her staff that attends to injuries at ringside, and behind the scenes after matches. If you need medical attention backstage at an NAFW show, Diane and her team are the people to see.
Ryan McJohnson: He may well have the worst name ever, but he's an important figure in NAFW. Formerly he was head bodyguard and assistant to Hector Gonzales. However, since Hector is seeing less screen time these days, he’s been reassigned to be the head of security at all NAFW events. If you jump the barrier from the crowd, he will command his men to stop you by any means necessary. If a wrestler thinks he can just brawl backstage or in the ring outside of the context of the match, he’ll be there in a flash to break it up. He's as big as your average heavyweight wrestler, and has traded in his suit and tie for an earpiece and clothes that allow more mobility on the job.
Brian McJohnson: He's the portly teenage nephew of head security guard Ryan McJohnson. Hector is doing him a favor by allowing him to work for the NAFW as an intern. Often he'll be seen running around at a slow pace backstage as the errand boy. Play your cards right with Brian, because sometimes he'll have insider information for you, and he might just be able to help you out when you least expect it. It just might cost you a Twinkie or two.
Cameramen
These men do it all. They’re there to film promotional videos for webcasts, and they’re there to catch all the hard hitting and high flying action in the ring and backstage during live events.
