Jesse "Iron Kid" Collins
Jesse “The Iron Kid” Collins is Birmingham through and through. A fiery underdog with an endless motor, Jesse grew up sweeping floors and setting chairs at The Foundry, idolizing the legends who made the city’s wrestling scene what it is. He isn’t the biggest or the strongest, but he’s got the most heart—and the fans know it.
In the ring, Jesse fights with reckless energy: high-flying dives, lightning-quick reversals, and desperate rollups that can turn any match on its head. His resilience makes him dangerous—every beating he takes just builds to another comeback, another rally for the crowd to rise behind.
Collins wears his city’s pride on his sleeve. His gear is simple, marked with Birmingham’s ironworker motifs, and his promos are plainspoken but powerful—no catchphrases, just honesty and passion. To the Iron City fans, Jesse is more than a wrestler. He’s proof that heart beats muscle, and that the kid in the cheap seats can grow up to carry the fight for everyone in the building.

Entrance Description | The lights brighten with a flash of steel-grey as Jesse’s southern rock theme kicks in. He bursts through the curtain with boundless energy, slapping every hand he can reach on the way down the aisle. He pauses at the foot of the ramp, pumps his fist to fire up the crowd, and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside, he hops onto the middle turnbuckle, throws up both arms, and yells “Let’s go, Iron City!” before dropping down, ready to fight. |
