BIOGRAPHY:


Upbringing: Life in Las Vegas


Gavin Octave was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 20th, 1987. He grew up with his mother Karen as an only child. His mom was an abusive alcoholic who could barely afford to support the young child. He couldn't go to school, be around anybody, or anything. He felt like a ghost. One night, after an altercation with his mother, Gavin ran away from his home, leaving everything behind. Into his early teens, Gavin was getting into a lot of trouble, getting arrested for Grand Theft Auto, Robbery, etc. all to keep himself alive until one day he just so happened to reconnect with his younger half-brother Donny, who was beginning to break out in professional wrestling. Donny figured it would be a way to get Gavin out of the chaos in his life.



Asylum Championship Wrestling (2012)


Gavin began training with Asylum Championship Wrestling, training with the founder, Mike Asylum. At the time, ACW was well funded and could afford proper training equipment, so Gavin got proper training of the basics, but not long after he joined, ACW closed its doors due to internal problems, and left Gavin without a trainer. Gavin has gone on record in many interviews that Mike Asylum and ACW was some of the most fun he has ever had in the business, because they treated him like he belonged. He continued to travel with Donny until they came across the hardcore Indy promotion, Edge of Reality Wrestling.



Edge of Reality Wrestling (2012 - 2013)


When Donny & Gavin wound up in ERW, Donny made it to the main roster quickly being an already established worker. Gavin, on the other hand, wasn't as lucky. ERW, being a low-rent backyard wrestling-esque company, Gavin was not only subject to bad training with ERW head trainer Denis Gates, but was also thrown out to wrestle way before he was ready, being put through hell until ERW was forced to shut down due to multiple lawsuits. Gavin has claimed that it was his time in ERW that got him hooked on painkillers and other various drugs.



Octavian Wrestling Association (2013 - Current)


After ERW, Gavin became addicted to multiple painkillers and alcohol because of the endless pain he was in. After having an incident that required him to go to a doctor, he found out that because of his time in ERW, he had suffered many injuries, a few that required surgery, and some that had gone so long unattended that they would never properly heal. Doctors told Gavin that he may never wrestle again. This put him into a state of depression, as his painkiller and alcohol addiction increased, and an accidental overdose that nearly killed him led to his half-brother Donny coming back and helping him pay not only for surgery, but rehab as well. After Gavin got himself cleaned up, he began a strict training regimen, eating healthy and leaving behind alcohol and tobacco products entirely. In 2014 he returned to wrestling a completely changed man, becoming more physically fit than ever before and began self-training on the Indy’s throughout 2014 and into early 2015. In July 2015, he was contacted by Donny to join his new league, OWA. There, Gavin got the necessary help from his colleagues and looks to make a name for himself in OWA.
