Age:
36
Hometown:
Mountmellick, Ireland
Experience:
John Paul grew up in Ireland, his home life as a child was pretty unbalanced. His parents fought constantly, and having two older brothers messing with him all the time, forced him to toughen up in a hurry. In school Gallagher showed a great interest in the sport of Rugby, his love of the game would follow him throughout his entire life. After graduating, John Paul was signed to a second tier Rugby team as an Inside Center, the league deemed his play "too aggressive" which for Rugby is quite a feat. It's then that JPG decided to try his hand at wrestling, he had a few matches in Lanchaster Wrestling Academy. After severely injuring a number of opponents, people refused to step into the ring with him. Ken Acton, having grown fond of Gallagher, didn't want to see him go. Acton offered John Paul a Play by Play position, which he reluctantly accepted.
Personality:
Gallagher likes faces, he is prone to give the good guy the benefit of the doubt. But, at the same time, he isn't afraid to voice his opinions about a performer be it good or bad. A lot of his Play by Play is peppered with expletives, as cursing is one of his two great loves outside of wrestling and rugby. John's other love, of course, drinking. John Paul is the kind of guy who looks for an excuse to scrap, he won't initiate a fight, but he isn't afraid to end one when put on the spot.

Hearing about an opening for a Color Commentator spot with Acton Promotions, Bobbie decided to give it a shot. Ken Acton, knowing Bobbie's skills on the mic were just too good to pass, hired him on the spot.
Personality:
Bobbie is neither Face nor Heel, although most of the time he plays Heel's advocate. Finding some way to justify their actions, no matter how devious. Bomber likes seeing how low people will stoop to get the win, and is generally soft spoken. One of his favorite things about the job, is the chance to rip on his partner John Paul Gallagher, a man who looks up to him.
