Rip Grundy

The "Next Evolution of CAW", Rip Beefgnaw is a professional wrestler signed to DCO. He is a former DCO TV Champion and was the winner of the Eraser Tournament. He is a protege of Vivianverse Hall of Famer, Verne Gagne, and the heir to the legendary GAGNE SLEEPER HOLD.

DCO Career
Beefgnaw made his DCO debut in a webmatch on February 7th, 2013, defeating Ryan Lee in less than 3 minutes. The impressive performance put the entire DCO locker room on notice. He would continue to make a name of himself, putting away some of the best DCO had to offer using his patented GAGNE SLEEPER HOLD and Sleeper Suplex.

He earned his first taste of championship gold on February 17th, defeating Bastion Goodhand for the Television Championship. Beefgnaw would lose the title to Craven Moorehead at DCO Not An Easy Kill, but recaptured it mere days later at DCO In The Lonely Streets of Sapulpa. This reign would be much shorter than the first, as he dropped the title to Slab Puente at DCO Kiss From a Rose.

Beefgnaw soon set his sights on the DCO World Heavyweight Championship, challenging for the gold at DCO The Fourth Reich in a fatal four way match featuring then-champion Gaylord Queerstreet, Rod Queerstreet, and Grab Power. He would fail to capture the title, and Power emerged the winner and new champion. His second opportunity came at DCO And The Horse You Rode In On against George "Meatcleaver" Tompkins (who had defeated Grab Power for the title) and two-time former champion Sebastian Cruise. The match never ended, as the video stream was hijacked by Nicole Bass.

At that point, Rip took a short break from his pursuit of the World Title, and instead formed an alliance with Slab Puente against two of the most nefarious and dominant new superstars on the DCO roster, Brick Cannon and Osiris Fistmouth. Beefgnaw and Puente emerged victorious over Cannon and Osiris in a brutal tornado tag team street fight at DCO Night of a Thousand PUNCHES.

After that event, DCO Commissioner John Kimble murdered DCO World Champion George "Meatcleaver" Tompkins by running his limosuine over with a train. The championship was vacated as a result, and a tournament titled "ERASER" was arranged to crown a new champion. Beefgnaw fought through Bryce Kanyon, Haduken, and Craven Moorehead to reach the finals against Brick Cannon. He was triumphant in that match, winning the ERASER tournament....however, in a last minute swerve, Rip was informed that he had NOT won the DCO World Championship, and instead had one more match to win if he wanted the title: against a debuting Bo Dallas! The battle-weary Rip Beefgnaw was no match for Dallas, and ended up losing, allowing Bo Dallas to leave as the new DCO World Champion. Not long after, Dallas was called up to New-WWE, and took the belt with him.

After New-WWE introduced the NXT Championship to replace the DCO Title on its show, the DCO World Championship was shipped back home, and a 32-Man battle royal was held to name a new champion. Beefgnaw participated in the match, but once again went home empty-handed. The match (and title) ended up being won by Slab Puente.
