Bio: Grayson Sterling (real name Grayson Cooke) was born in Sacremento. Growing up he was typically one of the more popular kids in school. He was an athletically inclined kid which helped to boost his reputation. He spent time on the track and swim teams. Very charismatic from a young age he knew how to charm his peers. Throughout his youth he learned to use this skill to manipulate those around him. Vain, conceited, self absorbed, surface deep. All have been used to describe Grayson, but he doesn't care so long as the women keep clamoring for him.
His interest in wrestling started when some girls he "dated" fawned over some of the hunks in the ring. He saw wrestling as an opportunity to showboat and receive more adoration from beautiful women. He was a natural in the ring upon starting to train and found himself starting to attract attention on some of the California indies. Eventually he caught the eyes of his now girlfriend and totally not sugar mommy Talia Skye.
Attire: Wears black and silver trunks with bullet holes and "Sterling Silver Bullet" on the back, black knee pads, black wrestling boots, black wrist tape.
For his entrance he also wears a crop top that has a black and white picture of him and Talia making out with "50 Shades of Grayson" written over it in silver, a black cropped leather jacket, and black Versace sunglasses.

Entrance: "Something For You" by David Rolfe blasts through the arena only to be matched with the crowd's boos. Out walks the "Silver Bullet" Grayson Sterling with "Killa Queen" Talia Skye by his side. The power couple poses together on the stage before embracing in a passionate kiss.
The two walk to the ring ignoring the negativity from the crowd, walking along the right side of the ring. Talia climbs the apron and swings her leg up. As she does the camera man moves forward to zoom in, but is blocked by Grayson who moves the camera down to his abs.
Talia sits on the middle rope and awaits Grayson to climb the apron. Once he does Talia leans back, lying on the rope. Grayson takes a second to take in the view before stepping through the ropes, stopping halfway to again make out with Talia on the ropes.
In the ring Grayson basks in the boos as Talia crouches wih one leg out in front of him. She grabs his jacket and glasses before exiting the ring. Meanwhile Grayson goes to his corner and swings his legs up lying cockily on the top rope.
