Carlton Gluck
Carlton Gluck looks like he crawled straight out of the backwoods—a bald, bearded Mississippi brute who seems made for bar fights, not wrestling mats. But appearances deceive. Carlton is a highly credentialed amateur wrestler, a man who earned his stripes in collegiate programs before bringing that foundation into pro wrestling.
With his brother Chapps, Carlton debuted in the XHF Network in 2023, wrestling primarily in the British territory Wrestle:UK (W:UK) until mid-2024. From there, they embarked on a rookie excursion to Japan that lasted into mid-2025, polishing their already dangerous game before arriving in Iron City Wrestling under the guidance of Daeriq Damien.
No matter the variation — gutwrench, head-and-arm, belly-to-belly, German — every suplex Carlton throws is called a “Gluckplex.” It’s the family trademark.

Entrance Description | “Black Water Blues” by Mile Train rumbles through the arena. Daeriq Damien appears first, strutting through the curtain with his usual smug air. He steps to the side, raises his good arm, and with a slow, deliberate point toward the curtain, he introduces the bigger of his two charges. Carlton Gluck emerges, calm and imposing, bald head and thick beard catching the lights. Unlike his younger brother, Carlton doesn’t shout or strut — he just walks, steady and deliberate, his heavy frame carrying an aura of inevitability. At ringside, he climbs the stairs at a measured pace, wipes his feet carefully on the apron, and ducks between the ropes. Inside the ring, Carlton plants himself in the center and glares out at the crowd with quiet menace, his composure contrasting perfectly with the chaos that usually follows his brother. Damien steps into the ring behind him, content to let Carlton’s sheer presence do the talking. |

In-Ring Personality | Calm, deliberate, and deceptively intelligent. Carlton looks like a sloppy brute but carries himself with patience and quiet confidence. He doesn’t posture much, preferring to let his presence and physicality speak for him. |
In-Ring Tactics | *Controls opponents with amateur-style grappling and positioning. *Relies on suplexes and power throws to dictate the match. *Striking is basic — heavy clubs and haymakers — but effective through sheer power. *Uses patience and ring IQ to slowly grind down opponents. |
Always Do | *Work in multiple Gluckplex variations every match. *Stay composed and deliberate, rarely rattled. *Exploit the fact that opponents underestimate him. *Use size and mat control to grind opponents down. |
Never Do | *Normal suplexes. He uses Gluckplexes, not suplexes. *Engage in flashy striking exchanges. *Keep attacking after the bell — he’ll toss someone out, but won’t maul them. *Cheat outright — wins come from his own skill and power, not shortcuts. |
