Rob Terry

Robert Terry (born 30 April 1980) is a Welsh bodybuilder and a former professional wrestler.

He is known for his work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring names Rob Terry and The Freak.

He is also known for his work in TNA's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he is a former two-time Heavyweight Champion and a one-time Southern Tag Team and Television Champion.

He has also competed for the Wrestle-1 promotion as well as WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.

Terry was born in Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom.

He is a former bouncer and studied sports science at Neath Port Talbot College, South Wales.

Terry signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in 2007 and was assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling.

On 10 November, Terry, under the ring name Big Rob, debuted as Nick Nemeth's bodyguard and accompanied Nemeth to the ring for his matches.

On 1 December, Big Rob made his in-ring debut as he and Nemeth defeated Robert Anthony and Bryan Kelly in a tag team match.

In December 2007 and January 2008, Terry appeared at several WWE television program tapings, accompanying Nemeth to the ring for dark matches.

On 12 January, Big Rob teamed with Nick Nemeth in a losing effort to Mighty Mikey and Matt O'Neal.

Three days later, Rob and Nemeth lost to Mikey and O'Neal in a rematch.

In August 2008, Terry was released from his WWE developmental contract.

According to Chris Jericho's autobiography, he wanted Terry to be his protege when he started his heel run in 2008.

However, Terry was released and the role was given to Lance Cade.

On the edition of 30 April 2009 of TNA Impact!, Terry made his Total Nonstop Action Wrestling debut as a member of the newly formed stable known as The British Invasion alongside Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus.

Their first act was to attack Hernandez, thus writing him out of storylines until he recovered from a legitimate injury.

They claimed Hernandez' "Feast or Fired" briefcase, awarding it to Terry.

This implied that Terry could demand a match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at any time within the remainder of the calendar year, but no formal announcement was made.

Since then, Terry had played a minor role, usually performing run-ins on behalf of his teammates.

They attacked Team 3D (Brother Devon and Brother Ray), instigating a feud that led to several matches, mainly without Terry.

In July, Terry, Magnus and Williams joined Eric Young, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Kiyoshi and Homicide to form World Elite.

World Elite then formed an alliance with The Main Event Mafia, which led to Terry teaming with such wrestlers as Booker T and Scott Steiner.

Together, they feuded with Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) and Team 3D.

Terry faced Hernandez at Hard Justice for the "Feast or Fired" briefcase, but lost in nine seconds.

This initiated a story in which Terry Fell out of favour with his allies.

Terry would make a series of mistakes, or would fall victim to a teammate's mistake, and cost the Main Event Mafia or World Elite a match.

Initially, World Elite defended their team member and broke their alliance with Main Event Mafia, which dissolved soon thereafter.

But the remainder of World Elite would berate Terry for costing them further victories.

Eric Young mistakenly hit Terry with a title belt on 5 November 2009 episode of TNA Impact!.

One week later, Terry tried to interfere in a match but accidentally caused World Elite to lose.

The members of the team were upset with him for causing the loss.

On 18 October 2009, at Bound for Glory Magnus and Williams took part in a four way Full Metal Mayhem match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship and the IWGP Tag Team Championship.

While the British Invasion lost the IWGP titles to Team 3D, they won the TNA titles from the Main Event Mafia (represented by Scott Steiner and Booker T), when Terry interfered in the match.

As a result of this match, a feud between Beer Money, Inc. and the British Invasion was re-ignited.

The entire World Elite stable conspired to prevent Beer Money, Inc. from winning the titles, usually by getting themselves disqualified.

Terry objected to the plot, believing that British Invasion could legitimately beat Beer Money, Inc. in a clean match.

His confidence irked his teammates further.

For one episode of Impact, Mick Foley offered Kevin Nash full control.

Nash subsequently booked the entire show to benefit himself and the World Elite members.
