NBW Management
Owner: Masuda Jubei / "The Master"
Bio: A leader of a shadowy organization that allowed the original NBW to exist. When Pryde defaulted on his promises, their leader Masuda Jubei - whom the organization calls "The Master" - swooped in and assumed control of the company. He is cold, uncompromising but still has great respect for prowrestling, especially Japanese greats whom he venerates in a godly fashion. His position does not keep The Master from getting his hands dirty. If need be, he will particiapte in matches when he feels slighted or disrespected by anyone in the company.
Theme: "King of Darkness" - D
Pic Base: Minoru Suzuki
Ronin Division Commissioner: Jason "Skar" Zurra
Bio: Formerly wrestler for Action Wrestler, and leader of the ASU in everything except in name, Jason Zurra became bound to a wheelchair after facing Corey Bull in a dumpster match for the UCI Championship. After feeling helpless, he was looking to find a new place to help organize and keep financially steady. This lead him to joining the Masuda Corp, and become the commissioner of the reviving New Blood Wrestling, in place of Joe Lamarche. He now leads the Ronin Division, helps promote and fund the company, and has given his ASU comrades a place in NBW.
Theme: "New Eden" - Animals as Leaders
Pic Base: Kazuchika Okada
Former Owner and CEO: Vincent Pryde
Pic Base: Broken Matt Hardy
Bio: After successes in the promotional business, legal and financial troubles ultimately collapsed his promotion in New Blood Wrestling. Pryde can now be found at The Master's whim; sadly, a fragment of the once powerful man portrayed on the original shows. He has seen less and less facetime on TV since the big transition that ousted him from power. His presence, however, remains strong in the lockeroom albeit from The Master's short leash.
Theme: "System" - Korn
Personal Bodyguard: Onslaught
Pic Base: Abyss
Bio: Onsalught, former world champ of NBW, worked as muscle for Vincent Pryde but has since offered his services for The Master
NBW GM, Talent Coordinator and The Master's Left Hand
Lucious Starr
Pic Base: Aaron Taylor Johnson (Quicksilver)
Bio: Lucious is a highly decorated veteran of over a decade. He hung up his wrestling boots to run a wrestling training school, which has been a major producer of talent for NBW and other promotions. A childhood friend of Vincent Pryde, Starr has been called in to help the boss man keep numbers up and the show running smoothly. He's a bit of an egomaniac (see: the picture attached in the dictionary), but he's also deathly loyal to his friends and the business. His tireless work has been a source of pride and torment since The Master took over NBW; sadly, it seems the allure of the business might be his only love left - a few vestiages of the old promotion as they were.

Former Bum Fights Commissioner - Old Jo Lamarche (A.K.A. "the Commish")
Pic Base: Samuel L Jackson from The Caveman's Valentine
Bio: A cutthroat homeless man with a genius level IQ whose ability to lead, but still follow orders, gained him a close place in Vincent Pryde's early ventures. His ability to recruit and command the respect of his fellow vagabonds made him the best choice to lead the Bum Fight Division. The Master cast him out for being a threat to his new management. His whereabouts remain unknown.
Theme: "We the People" - A Tribe Called Quest (Also official theme for Bum Fights)
The Master's Personnel
Ikeda Clan - The Master's elusive security detail that accompanies him in all-black suits in public. However, they haven been known to attack people backstage or offsite dressed in traditional ninja outfits. They have no leader and are unswervingly loyal to The Master's command.
Black shirts - misc. workers and event staff (they're free game for everyone to abuse) wearing black that outright obey anyone involved in the matches - not just what Jubei demands of them.
Mori & Okita - The Master has special commentators for his matches
1) Mori (Misawa) - color cemmentor w/ 30 years of prowrestling experience; hard to impress
2) Okita (Jack Soo) - Veteran announcer that's always able to deliver those great "OMG" moments
NBW Staff
Commentary:
St. Remi - Heel color commentator who can't help comparing competitors to his former career in the ring.
Pic base: The Miz
Sara Conway - Face play-by-play who's unfmailiar with the sport and always surprised by big sequences.
Pic Base: Lauren Cohan
The Snake Pit - Tag Team Commentary [See Below]
Oda Niko - Ring announcer and failed pop-idol with an angelic voice; very excited for winner/s
Pic Base: Koda Kumi
