Brief Character Bio: Donovan Basch has led what most people would consider a charmed life. Blessed with both genetic and intellectual gifts, anything he set his mind to, he met with success. Equally at home in the classroom or on the athletic field, he garnered praise for his skills, mixed with concerns about his growing arrogance. With several scholarship offers available to him, he had his pick of universities in which to enroll, eventually "deigning" to attend Harvard University, where he majored in Business Administration along with a minor in Computer Science. After graduating summa cum laude, and subsequently obtaining a "small loan" from his well-to-do father, Donovan carved out his own "little slice of the American Dream", building up a multi-million dollar enterprise with a blend of business acumen and a ruthlessness that drew both admiration and nervousness from his peers in the realm of Big Business.
But Donovan's success in business simply wasn't enough for him. One thing that Harvard didn't teach was how to deal with the boredom that eventually set in. Hostile takeovers of rival entities didn't satisfy him anymore. It struck him that wrestling would be just the thing to pull him out of his ennui. During a stint in the now-defunct West Coast Genesis, he met his now-wife Danielle Basch (neé LeBlanc), and went on to win the promotion’s top tier championship. After that promotion closed down, he joined Red Sun Wrestling, where an injury to his arm put him on the sidelines for a few months. Upon his return, he continued working his way up the rankings, but business outside of wrestling prompted him to depart the company, which closed down soon after.
He used the downtime to focus on his family and his various business ventures, but lately, the desire to return to action in some form or another has grown too strong to ignore. Once again, he seeks to show the world that whether it’s in the ring or in the boardroom, Donovan Basch is all business.
Wrestling Style: Donovan is a heavy hitter with a background in martial arts. However, he is also unusually agile for a man of his size, so he also incorporates a number of aerial moves into his repertoire.
