BIOGRAPHY: Cody Larson is Tennessee's best kept Indy wrestling secret. Been wrestling at shows since the age of 15 and has held numerous titles in many different independent federations in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky and The Carolinas.
Originally born in Kentucky but moved to Tennessee before he was 5. So he calls Tennessee his home.
Had a normal childhood with 2 parents who supported him in everything he has done. In middle and high school he played baseball and ran track. Grew up watching wrestling and has been in love with it ever since he was 7. He told his parents on his 10th birthday he was gonna be a wrestler someday and they never tried to tell him otherwise.
Trained originally in 2008 by fat ass SOB, that's not worth naming. The trainer merely got off on putting young boys through whatever pain imaginable with submissions and stretches before beating them with chairs and kendo sticks. Cody wrestled for him for free for over 3 years becoming a crowd favorite for his babyface look. He even become the company champion for 8 months before he was badly burned in a flaming table stunt that went horribly wrong.
Fast Forward 2 years (2013) for skin grafts and rehabilitation and graduating high school and learning that wrestling wasn't going to pay his bills forever but he loved it too much to walk away forever. Cody decided he is going to get some real training and he went to Knoxville's Loony Bin Training Facility. Where he had the basics but Vincent Delerious and his training staff seen some great raw talent from him so the Loony Bin Staff trained him to be more technically sound and way safer, even when doing hardcore stuff and finishing his training at the Loony Bin in 2015.
Having experienced his time off from wrestling due to his burns he graduated high school and started college courses at MTSU in Murfreesboro in which he graduated in Aug of 2017 with a degree in engineering. So he would study during the week at college and work out three times a week while in Murfreesboro and then he would drive the 2 and half hours to Knoxville on Friday afternoon and train Friday night, all day Saturday and half of Sunday at the Loony Bin.
After training at the Loony Bin he went out and found all kinds of Indy shows along with wrestling for Loony Bin Showcase this year for the first time going to war with the monster Deathstalker.
He has won titles in almost every promotion he has been in. He has been loved and hated by fans throughout his career.
BJ Jones has heard about this kid for years but after seeing his war with Deathstalker he knew he would make a great addition to PWR, and wants to bring him to EWS for the world to see.
PERSONALITY: Cocky but confident enough in his skills to know he has what it takes to make it in this business in a big way.
Has decent mic skills and has some good intelligence now being a graduate of MTSU for engineering.

ENTRANCE THEME: Man of Constant Sorrow by Charm City Devils
Entrance Description:
The bell rings and the ring is empty as the lights dim.
I... am a man... of constant sorrow... I've seen trouble... all my days...
The guitar kicks in as "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Charm City Devils kicks in as the "Belt Hubter", Cody Larson comes out in his black leather jacket with grey jersey knit hood on and he is wearing all black mma style shorts and a black shirt that has an Orange target on it and the words "Belt Hunter" can be read as he motions to the fans that are booing him yelling at them.
And I... bid farewell... to old Kentucky... the place where I... was born and raised... the place... where I was born and raised...
Larson looks out at the crowd for a moment with a smug look on his face. As he starts to slowly walk to the ring. He doesn't seem to be the slightest bit affected by any of the boos or insults the crowd is throwing his direction.
For Six... long years... I've seen trouble... Little pleasures.... have I've found... For in... this world... I'm bound to ramble... I have no friends... to help me now... I have no friends... to help me now...
Larson reaches the ring as he goes to the left steps up onto the apron and spins around holding onto the top rope with one of his arms hooked around it (like Chris Jericho) as he looks out at the crowd with a smug look on his face. Then he wipes his feet as he steps into the ring through the top and middle rope.
I'm a man... I'm a man... of Constant... Sorrow...
Larson steps to the middle of the ring as the music fades out and he bounces back ant forth on his heels still wearing the leather jacket he throws a couple shadow boxing jabs and a forearm at the end as he turns to the fans and raises his right hand as the crowd boos him loudly.
