Entrance Music: "The Little Death" Aesthetic Perfection
Detailed description of entrance: The house lights would dim, flickers of strobes would start following the slow beat of the song. About :30 seconds into the song, Shane Rothenstein would come through the curtain. He'd walk slowly and deliberately, pausing to jaw with the fans on his way to the ring. For him it's all about pyschology and getting the crowd into a frenzy before he even hits the ring. He always makes his way around to the far set of steps, again stopping and bickering and arguing with over-zealous fans before finally climbing the steps and climbing into the ring. He'd then head to the center of the ring to pander to the hard camera.

Gimmick/Personality: Cocky and sure of himself and everything that he does
Wrestling Attire: Yellow and black singlet with yellow and black boots, black knee pads
Background: Curtis Penn spent four years a FSU on a wrestling scholarship. Winning most of his matches and earning the captain spot for his team he learned responsibility and how to train. After he spent the state’s money and earning the notoriety as the best wrestler in the State of Florida he decided to get into the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. He found a local training camp and began to train with them daily.
He was booked within the state for a few matches, earning a record of 2-1, he decided that he needed to work on his striking. He bought himself a ticket to Japan and found himself once again fighting for money. He found himself a couple of Americans that he soon called friends. They introduced him to the Japanese culture and helped him around the island. He was soon a member of the CHIMERA Fight Team. Once inside the group his skills grew from strictly wrestling to one of the best ground and pound fighters in his weight class.
CFT disbanded at the WC:C Year 1 show after Pete Whealdon turned on Curtis Penn and caused them to lose the WFWA Tag Team Titles to the Sex Symbols. Curtis Penn took time away from the ring and opened his own training facility in the Panhandle of Florida where he coaches and trains athletes by using the techniques and a work ethic he honed while with CHIMERA Fight Team and his time in the NCAA.

Brief Biography
Edmunds returned to the business in February 2011 after a year and a half of physical therapy to repair multiple nagging injuries. A product of the FW-circuit, Edmunds last wrestled in Empire Pro Wrestling, taking part in the Anthology vs. HOPE stable feud. Since returning in 2011, Edmunds has wrestled in the Viking Wrestling Federation w/ friend Dan Ryan as well as WARPED Wrestling. Edmunds held the VWF Pan-Pacific Championship and the VWF Britannia Heavyweight Championship at the same time, and was the longest reigning Pan-Pacific champion before retiring the belt himself. Edmunds was also the WARPED Evolution Champion for six months to close out 2011. Edmunds made it to the Sweet Sixteen in the 2012 Ultratitle Tournament before bowing out to Eli Flair. Currently, Edmunds has made it to the Elimination Rounds (Top 18) in the 2012 Extreme Tournament by placing at the top of his Bracket (I) with 15 points, winning all five of his Group Stage matches.

Edmunds, while being a world-class competitor, has only held two World Heavyweight championships in the past few years .. both coming from Just Wrestling, a small touring promotion. He is looking to add the VWF World Heavyweight Championship to that tally when he faces the current VWF World Heavyweight champion Maverick Jones in the main event of the next VWF pay-per-view, Bloodlust 14. Edmunds owns his own venture capital company, EC Enterprises, and uses his cunning mind to win at any cost.
