Jeff Andrews
DoB: 9/12/78
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 247 lbs
Alignment: Verrry tentatively Face at this particular point in time
Hometown: Deadman Crossing, Ohio, by way of Baltimore, Maryland
Theme Song: "Gods and Punks" - Monster Magnet
Gimmick: Deep down - really deep down - Jeff Andrews is just a decent dude who just wants a quiet peaceful life for himself and his loved ones. However, that's buried deep under many layers of bitterness, absolute cuss-headed stubbornness, and unresolved emotional issues. Basically, he hates the passage of time, and time is an invincible enemy. Except that somehow, he recently won a battle against it... he's still surly though. 'Surly' is the most important word in the dictionary when trying to talk about Jeff Andrews. Surprisingly, he's always been a good wrestling promoter able to work well with his talent. If you know how to deal with Jeff Andrews he's actually a great guy. But he's an all or nothing guy, and if he doesn't like you, there's a couple names we could mention. But we won't, because it might make him surly and no one wants to deal with that.
Appearance: Jeff Andrews has dishwater blond hair. If you're familiar with anything he's done in the last decade, you know he's ultrabald. People don't generally become unbald. Somehow, Jeff Andrews did. His hairstyle changes regularly. He has blue eyes, and depending on whether he wants one at the time, a reddish brown beard. Currently, he wears it in a goatee without the soulpatch. He's heavily built, pretty obviously chemically enhanced. His attire is generally casual with a hint of redneck - jeans, t-shirts, and a John Deere green and yellow mesh trucker's hat (you'd think that having regrown his hair and playing with different hairstyles he wouldn't wear a hat, but that's because you don't know how to Jeff properly). He also wears a battered, weatherbeaten black leather jacket when it's cold.
Ring Attire: Jeff Andrews wears fighter's shorts with the pattern of the Maryland flag on the left leg, and the Ohio flag on the right leg. Black kneepads, black boots, black elbow pads. During his entrances he'll generally wear that same black leather jacket and John Deere hat. If he's in a place where he's particularly popular (Baltimore), he may throw his hat into the crowd.

Strengths
* When he quits fucking around and puts the surliness on hold and uses his thinking brains, Andrews is really. just. that. damn. good. The only problem...
Weaknesses
* Doesn't like to adjust his gameplan during matches, will stick to the same strategy even if it's not working
* Will get surly and abandon what gameplan he DID have to just whale on people
* Regularly chooses not to pace himself even though he could
* Insists on using a finisher that's hard on his back when he's had back troubles in the past
* His two main responses to being caught in submission finishers are to refuse to tap until he ends up injured, or tap instantly (basically ragequitting the match)
* Gets impatient with grappling exchanges and tries to slug his way out of them, and if it doesn't work he won't quit trying
* Doesn't like listening to the referee's instructions, even when he's smart enough to not get DQ'd he'll still distract himself arguing with the ref
* If you're not getting the picture, he's just a complete blockhead who usuallycan't get out of his own way
History
Ancient history is ancient. Modern history is that Jeff Andrews arrived in NPW back when it was in the XHF as the manager of the New Untouchables (Jeffrey Daniels, Lee Scott Rothlesberger, and later Kirsty McKinney), only to disappear in early 2021 for reasons that had nothing to do with wrestling.
Well, he still doesn't want to talk about why he disappeared, but, apparently, his erstwhile promoting buddy Cole Christenson dropped a shitton of money at his feat and told him to open Deadman Crossing Wrestling.
And here we are.
