I believe in first strikes.” There’s a file on Paul Harris. Not thick. Not famous. Not decorated in gold foil or legacy. But growing—page by page, match by match—with red ink in the margins and a quiet sense of threat humming beneath the surface. Educated in the Snakepit of Preston, England — but don’t expect the accent. He doesn’t sound like where he’s from. He doesn’t fight like it either. Paul Harris fights like a scalpel: precise, cold, and entirely indifferent to whether you deserve what’s coming. He debuted in 2015. A decade in the craft. And yet, in OCW, he’s still considered “new.” That label doesn’t sit right with him—and he doesn’t sit right with it. Because Paul Harris didn’t come here to be a prospect. He came here to take apart the mythology of wrestling, brick by brick, body by body. Season 18 Paul faced JynX. Beat him. Submitted him. Broke him. And then watched JynX get promoted, handed opportunities and earn gold. Paul wasn’t promoted. He wasn’t acknowledged. He won the matches and lost the narrative. That’s the moment he realized: in OCW, merit isn’t currency. Visibility is. Season 19. The OCW Booking Committee paired him with Anthony Martin. A man bereft after his leader Aries departed the company. Paul and Anthony's friendship and chemistry were hard-fought for. Together, they became The Pivot. They went undefeated until Summercide 24, where the belts were on the line and Mass Effect stood tall at the end of the night. But they came back. Dethroned Mass Effect. December 14, 2024—Undisputed Tag Team Champions. Then they lost the titles in February 2025. Another loss with Anthony Martin's shoulders pinned to the mat for the three count. Season 20. Started with a triple-threat loss to Claudio Stardom. Then Sheldon Tremblay—former World Champion. Another loss. Then came the inevitable: Anthony Martin, now with the North American Championship. They faced off at Summercide. Paul gave everything. He lost. And right there, in the wreckage of that failure, something changed. He didn’t snap. He transformed. He attacked Anthony Martin. And The Black Adder was born. Then came Maxx Edwards. Another decorated name. Another expectation. But Paul wasn’t playing for legacy anymore. He was there to gut the whole machine and smile while it short-circuited. At 28, Paul Harris is a man ten years into a career that feels like it’s been trying to leave him behind. His matches are elegant assaults. His moves have names like Serpent’s Strike and Asp’s Grasp—not because they sound cool, but because they are cool. Calculated. Clinical. Designed to make you think he doesn’t care about winning—he cares about unmaking you. He doesn’t celebrate victories. He doesn’t mourn losses. He studies you, dismantles you, and leaves without checking the crowd. He’s a tactician who dismantles opponents the way surgeons remove tumours—without empathy, but with terrifying expertise. He’ll twist your leg into a riddle and wait for you to answer it in screams. 10 wins. 17 losses. 37.04%. It doesn’t sound like greatness. But here’s the secret: Paul Harris doesn’t fear the record. He fears what happens if he never breaks it. And that fear—quiet, coiled, poisoned with ambition—is what makes him so dangerous. Because he’s not just fighting you. He’s fighting his own potential. And if he ever figures out how to beat that— God help whoever’s standing in the other corner. 1 1
