Biography
A cowboy is a hero. A real, familiar being who practices honor, valor, independance and a fellowship with the common man, all the while unafraid to taste the sweet taste of sweat from a day of arduous work. In the following paragraphs you will explore the life of Olivre Braley. You will read his personal aspirations and triumphs that ultimately lead to his finest hour, executed with selfless courage. You will know why his nickname has not only been a help to him, but an acerbic plague as well. The name doesn't make the man (as some believe)...it only hinders the responsible actions that had been present all along. No matter how hard he tries to fight it, Olivre Braley will be forever branded:

The Midnight Cowboy.

Oliver Braley was born in an El Paso Hospital on September 12th, 1974. The birth was very quick and painless to his mother, Cheryl. He was born in raised in a small suburban community. As a child, Olivre always had an infatuation with cowboys. He used to watch old John Wayne movies, but his favorite cowboy was Clint Eastwood, especially the role he reprised in a long string of Sergio Leone films. He was completely immersed in the Cowboy/ Western life.

He started living like a cowboy by staying out of trouble and doing the right thing. He became the cities most well-known choir boy. He became an Eagle Scout at age ten. He won several state rodeo championships. He graduated high school with straight A's; his graduating classes valedictorian. He went to Boston College for three semesters, all the time keeping his love for the cowboy life closeted. He feared it would become a mockery among his friends.

One night after exiting a country music bunker, Olivre heard a voice screaming in the woods. The voice seemed near, however, its frantic pitch was abruptly silenced. Something was wrong. Olivre wanted to do the right thing, so he sprinted into the brush.

He got to the scene and a man was forcefully holding a woman to the ground. His quiet, taunting whispers fell deafly upon anyone's ears. Olivre tackled the man, and after a period of wrestling around, Olivre finally incapacitated the man and carried the frightened woman to safety.

The next morning, Olivre flipped on the television switch in his dorm room, and he saw the woman's face. She was recounted the story on national television to the entire world. Olivre watched in awe as she recalled that fateful evening, in which a 'savior wearing a cowboy hat' came to her rescue. He longed to be a hero. Now he had truly felt like one.

A deep feeling of self-gratification quickly shattered away, as media personnel started laughing. They mocked and ridiculed such an odd story. Thus, the 'Midnight Cowboy' was born. Olivre was crushed because finally he knew America's love for the traditional cowboy had totally disappeared. The children admired video games, flashy things, and even pro wrestlers with their outrageous physiques and stale gimmicks.

Being athletically gifted, and socially charismatic, Olivre decided to give professional wrestling a try as he desired to re-experience the highs that are associated with heroic action. He dropped out of college and joined a wrestling school. After a long attempt to become successful with his new trade, he quit angrily.

The wrestling trainers and fighting promoters even joked about how 'well he could act like a cowboy.' They said it was almost like the real thing...

Olivre wished it all could be the real thing.

He escaped the industry after taking part in the high-exposure landscape of FWO and became a recluse, purchasing his own ranch in Texas from the cash he made in seedy underground fight clubs. His newfound apathy towards everything around him slowly encompassed his mindset and attitude. He notes this time as the darkest years of his life.

Eventually he found his way into backwoods indie feds, putting on shows to inconsistent crowds in dingy gymnasiums throughout Texas. His hair grew long and he wrestled under his real name. Many did not recognize him. However, it was in these rickety makeshift rings that he quietly re-ignited his passion for the sport, and hungered for the competition he used to enjoy on a nightly basis. After a breathless profile of him appeared in a renowned wrestling magazine, he found himself pacing through the shadows towards the spotlight once again.
