Biography

 

A journeyman who does not seem to age, the former KILLER CROC of Gotham City has returned to New Japan Pro Wrestling with a vengeance and utter hatred for all who stand against Bullet Club. After a spectacular showing in the G-1, it looks like the imposing monstrosity has found his stride and will most likely return to his championship winning ways for a long time to come. 
While his previous run in 2006 fed him a taste of IWGP World Heavyweight Championship gold, it looks like he wishes for the full course now that he has slain his demons and found the inner peace that eluded him previously. Since then, he has become the first Westerner to win the NEVER Openweight championship and the first American to win the IWGP United States Championship. With his silver tongue, occasional bouts of vulgarity and reckless violence, incredible physical prowess, and the seemingly sentient "Reaper" finisher, it would appear WAYLON is the Weapon of Vanity that the Bullet Club needs to reestablish dominance in the company, even if it would appear he'd rather handle business on his own. He proved this point when he scored a shock win over Intercontinental Champion Tetsuya Naito to become the first ever New Japan Singles Grand Slam Champion. After an incredible victory of the G1 climax, WAYLON, much to the chagrin of New Japan tradition and even members of his own Bullet Club faction, defeated Kazuchika Okada in Philadelphia to claim the crown he'd never truly lost over 13 years prior, the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.

The Euphoria came to an end, however, as World Tag League ended with Bullet Club ousting the Monstrosity at the behedst of their leader, Jay White. WAYLON since took down the members of the Club who participated in the betrayal before losing his IWGP Heavyweight title to Kazuchika Okada and getting his long-awaited revenge the next day against Jay White, who promptly invited him back in.

The next day at New Years Dash, WAYLON announced he had accepted a position as VP of American Operations, thus severing his ties with Bullet Club and taking a hiatus from in-ring competition. However, he also implied that the position was merely a temporary placement and that he would not "R-Word" just yet.

New Japan can enjoy this remission, but they know that the Monstrosity will find his way back, as he always has, as he always will.
