Character Backstory:
 



Tanno was once a big star in SAW, where he was humiliated by the Far East Brothers. These events have certainly made him a man who is full of fury. Usually he is calm, but this man can snap any moment when you least expect it.



Tanno won the WWX Tag Team titles once with Korean Dragon, and probably would've been more successful had he not died in a gas leak explosion in his house, presumably part of a suicide attempt by him. Following his death, his wife Emily Waters joined Fate's Warning.



Tanno returned later, but quickly vanished again in order to persue other goals. He returned later, looking to win again. During Holiday Hell 2013, he turned his back to the fans and sided with long-time enemy Darkson. He vanished again after Armada 2013, seemingly forever.



In August 2016, more than 3 years after his last sighting in the WWX, Tanno reappeared. After being passed on for the position of Ravage GM, Tanno vowed to take down James Ranger and restore fairness and balance to the WWX. on February 19th, 2017, Tanno teamed up with The Empire at Aftershock and took down James Ranger to make Tanno the new General Manager of Ravage.



Tanno claimed that he believed in 'fairness and balance' as a GM, but in reality was one of the most corrupt authority figures the company had ever seen. His hatred for Jake Devine was especially relentless. He was eventually fired, but has now returned to wreak further havoc on Jake Devine and take down Kurtis Ray while he's at it.




Employment History/Championship History:




3x WWX Television Champion
1x WWX World Tag Team Champion


Character Notes for Booking/Matches:




Tanno is an intelligent man, currently working as CEO of his company, Varia Software, and as the incredibly corrupt General Manager of Ravage.
