Wolf Hawkins is one of the brightest prospects in the US, being the only man to have been personally trained by the legendary Tommy Cornell, who signed him to TCW and began his training after spotting him on the independent scene. His TCW career began well, forming a fairly impressive tag team with Stevie Grayson, but it has been since going solo (following Grayson's release) that he has really shone, and the latter half of 2006 saw a near-meteoric rise in popularity for the blue chipper from Florida. By mid 2007 he had cemented himself as a fully blown star, as he became one fifth of The Syndicate, Tommy Cornell's dominant heel faction, and also the TCW International champion.
