"''People who underestimate their opponet because he's a newcomer, don't deserve to be a veteran." ''- Josh McCloud, 2012

Josh McCloud (Born February 8th, 1985) is a professional wrestler currently signed to World Triumphant Wrestling, Elite Dynasty Federation, and Big Apple Wrestling. McCloud has debuted in WTW and EDF so far.

Personal Life
McCloud grew up on the sunny Beaches of Miami, Florida. Not only did he live on the beach, he also grew up living in the Heights; which taught him the style of fighting with street smarts. He has a history in the independent circuit, but most wrestlers have considered him green, due to his lack of knowledge in the art of wrestling. However, under the guided wings of James Blazer and Chris Corre, he"ll finally make his way to televised events with better experience.

McCloud signed a contract to be apart of WTW in September 2012. McCloud made his debut in WTW when he lost to Chris Corre in a webmatch. McCloud had faced and lost to Cody Rhodes on the first episode of WTW Beatdown in the pre-show. The match was meant to be aired, but never had the chance. On episode 3 of Beatdown, Josh was placed in a rematch against Rhodes after Rhodes claimed to be "robbed" of a victory the week eariler when he lost to James Blazer via roll-up. Rhodes also stated he's "Going to take all my anger on this jobber, new-comer, McCloud. After tonight, we'll see who has the real 'Skillz'". During the match Cody tried to hit McCloud with a steel chair and McCloud reversed the attacked into a roll-up and McCloud was able to go over with his first victory in WTW. At the cpv, Canadian Invasion, McCloud was scheduled to be in Blazer's corner for his 15-Minute Iron Man Match. However, due to some tweets McCloud sent out before the match, Cody had shown them to WTW Management, Cody then said that WTW Management had declared McCloud "Unstable" amd banned from ringside, and if he attacked Cody at all between then and their next match, both McCloud and Blazer would be suspended indefinitely from WTW. At Final Verdict, McCloud and James Blazer defeated Cody Rhodes and Nate Farron to win the vacant WTW Tag Team Championship.
