"Your New Best Friend" Jeremy Best
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180lbs
Age: 35
Billed From: Friendship, North Carolina
Face/heel/tweener: Mega Super Face
Gimmick/Background:
Growing up, Jeremy struggled to fit in and rarely had many friends. Eventually, Jeremy would latch on to wrestling due to it's popularity boom in the late 90's and early 00's and realized that if he became a successful professional wrestler, everyone would want to be his friend! And thus began the ongoing journey of Jeremy's attempt to become someone's "Best" friend.
He gained popularity on the Southeastern Indy circuit thanks to his friendly and fun demeanor and would eventually befriend the struggling Bryan Baxter to form The Buddy System. Together they would have a lot of success in EWF, but ultimately Bryan would turn on Jeremy in order to go after singles glory. Dejected, Jeremy left EWF and signed with agent Mr. Bill Scorpane, which would eventually lead him to bigger success and then signing with FWA.
Of course, signing with FWA was a dream come true for Jeremy. Not just because it was the grand stage of professional wrestling, but because it was the home of his hero Krash. Jeremy looked forward to wrestling alongside his friend and who knows, perhaps they would also become best of friends along the way.
Unfortunately, at Back in Business in 2022, the unthinkable happened. Jeremy's friend and hero Krash disappeared into a lake along with his rival Randy Ramon... both presumed dead. But Jeremy would not have it. He refused to believe his hero was gone. He began the Krash Cruades alongside his partner Bryan Baxter and new friend XYZ. While it appeared all hope was lost, at Back in Town (Krash Memorial PPV), Jeremy defeated Alyster Black and then found out Krash was in fact still alive! But something was wrong. Krash seemed like he had no recollection of who Jeremy was. Something was wrong with Krash. And Jeremy was going to help him. Looking to snap Krash out of it, Bryan Baxter looked to beat some sense into Jeremy's friend... and then together they carried Krash off. Currently Krash's whereabouts are only known by Jeremy, Bryan and Mr. Scorpane.
Unfortunately, Krash's ultimate return revealed that the Krash they had found was not the same Krash that was one Jeremy's best friend. The real Krash had in fact died at Back in Business in 2022. Despite Jeremy's best attempts to rehabilitate him and bring the real Krash back, the demon had replaced his friend. And unfortunately at Back in Business 2023, the "Demon Krash" defeated Jeremy in a Buried Alive Match.
But Jeremy would not stay buried. He crawled his way back up and looked toward the future. His friends still needed him. The fans still needed him. Friendship needed to be restored in the FWA after the Demon had won at Back in Business. And this is why Jeremy created the Buddy Bowl in 2023. A one night tag tournament that featured randomly paired partners in an attempt to create new friendships. Jeremy would compete, being paired with the now late Drew Peacock - giving Drew the chance to see what having a great friend was like before he ultimately passed away a year later. Unfortunately, thanks to Alyster Black, Jeremy Best would not win his own Buddy Bowl.
However, at Winter Warfare, Jeremy would get the last laugh on Alyster Black and strike a huge win in the war on Friendship, defeating Black to become the FWA World Champion.
After winning the World Title, Jeremy declared that the FWA was now the Friendship Wrestling Alliance - rebranding the FWA title while also planning to build a new generation of friends by opening up the Friendship Wrestling Academy. Unfortunately, the Demon would return as well, winning Carnal Contendership and a shot at Jeremy at Back in Business. This fake Krash would end up destroying all the hard work Jeremy put into the Friendship Wrestling Academy, burning the building to the ground. But at Back in Business, Jeremy sent the Demon back to Hell once and for all, retaining the World Friendship Championship in a Cremation Match.

Theme music:
"Jeremy's Here" By Dubb Rebel
(Former) Agent:
Bill Scorpane
The Buddy System's "agent" though not the kind that comes to ringside with him or even travels with him. "Mr. Scorpane" as he insists Jeremy calls him is the self proclaimed "greatest wrestling agent in the Southeast" and has given Jeremy a ridiculous deal to have him as a client, only requiring Jeremy to pay him 55% of any earnings!
Mr. Scorpane also is a quite the successful entrepreneur as he owns Big Bill's Auto Empire in Atlanta, Georgia. Bill often lets Jeremy know he's not here to be his friend as their relationship is strictly business.
Mr. Scorpane believes in winning with any means necessary, and since getting more involved and accompanying Bryan Baxter to the ring, has often gotten involved in matches to help his client cheat to win.
Scorpane has since given up his agent duties in order to pursue intergalactic adventures with The Nephews.
