Travis Igor Tokelgard (?-2009-2010-present), better known by his ring name, Travis 16, was/is a Swedish-born professional e-fed wrestler, former Hivemind chapter administrator for The Legion Of Anonymous, and a dick. Known mostly for his blatant disregard for the health and safety of himself and others, Travis utilizes both physical and psychological warfare in the ring, employing dirty smashmouth tactics and the brutal T3:16 finishing move.

Travis has also been dead twice. At the time of his (second) death, he was the World Wrestling Federation Betrayal Champion. Rumor has it that even Satan can't stand his smell.

History[]

The History Of The ELW Ring; by Travis 16
	In 1971, Sturm Craukethaus was paid 15,500 Swedish Krona to construct a wrestling ring. He had never seen one in his life. The basic construction is forged from the amalgamated scrap metals of a dozen German, British and Italian cars. It comes apart in eight pieces, each one weighing nearly a quarter ton. The original pads were wrapped in leather, and came off within a year, forcing its owners to forever chop and modify regulation pads to fit the wrought steel construction. The original ropes are wrapped in recycled leather, recently restored - at my own expense. This ring took nearly three years to complete, and it is a cruel work of art. This work of art was first displayed on May 17th, 1974, at the premier of European League Wrestling's very first event, "Luchas De Apuestras I: Sangre!" Every event was held in the same South Street warehouse in Greenwich, England, for over a decade. At the time, there were no belts, it was just a bi-monthly display of Mexican trios wrestling, which subsequently, is where ELW, and by proxy ELITE, gets its proud EuroTeam tradition from. It took ELW eleven years to finally make a break-out star - Roland Strike. The first man who could get the energy really flowing in the place. The first man who could hold a mark's attention for longer than the lifespan of a soft drink. The first man, to survive a year, of having to wrestle in that godawful, stiff-as-nails ring. Roland Strike was crowned the first ELW Champion at "ELW Redux I" on May 17th, 1989, fifteen years after ELW's very first show. None of the original members of that era attended this event. Only a few RSVP'd. Roland lost the belt soon after. July 23, 1989, he dropped the strap to "Pride" Mike Fabulous, a new up-and-coming star, whom I am all sure you are familiar with after his performance on Sweden's version of "The Surreal Life". In case you need a reminder though, he did hold the belt for an unprecedented four years and change - unless you count that one month in 1992 when Roland won it back, coincidentally during the same month that Roland's "auto"biography came out. Anyways, that ring was ground zero for history. England's first "Hardcore Alternative" fertilized the soil with its blood. Jimmy Rack joined Strike in the legendary 300 Club. Mick Thunder took on men twice his size, using an agility and tolerance for pain unknown in civilized society. Mike Fabulous kept a stern defense on his ELW Championship, using the hotbed topic of his own sexuality as leverage, while delivering unparalleled brutality in his matches. Doc Atlas feuded with Marxus The Inquisitor, earmarked by the famous Piledriver Heard Round The World - that cost Marxus the short-lived "Underground Championship" and the ability to count past 5. Wayne "World Wide" Webster... well, he just kind of used his passing resemblance to Bam Bam Bigelow as a gimmick, when the whole "fat computer nerd" thing stopped working. Protip, Wayne: people like their nerds skinny. Anyways, October 31st, 1993 is where Pride's reign ended, when "The Heckler" Zone Capone took that ball and ran with it. He had the thing for all of six months. His final title defense would have taken place on May 17th, 1994 - "ELW Redux V". The show never happened. Nobody even bothered to tell the workers, either. Capone and crew all show up, and the only thing in the warehouse is the ring. I understand that posters of the event are used as a cruel, ironic joke amongst the internet community. By people other than me, I mean. The ownership of ELW was always shaky. Different bosses all the time, a real "don't ask questions" kind of environment. Seems the latest boss, whoever that was, just, took the proceeds and ran. And ELW was dead. Until Force bought the rights, of course. Force got together, with some of his corporate buddies at International Television Enterprises, and bought all the rights to European League Wrestling, its properties, and its licenses and territories. Also, the ring. That ring is ELW. The dent from Marxus' thick head is still in the canvas bed. Magnus Martino's teeth marks on the top rope. There's blood. There's rust. There's history. Force didn't want that shit. He just wanted the damn territory. January 13th, 2008, Force tossed the ELW title into a pig pile. Michael Mueller won the toss-up. He carried the strap for two months, where it was passed on in gimmicky matches to Spanky McPipebomb, Arrow The MVP, La Duchesse, Marf Daniels, and myself. On February 9th, 2009, my reign ended. I was felled by Alabaster Flex. The true ELW Champion. That was the last show broadcasted by European League International Television Entertainment. The curtain fell on the passing of ELW's torch. Again. Then, we were all out of a job. Capone went packing. Again. We all got our last checks in the mail. Lots of failed attempts to find out what is going on. Lots of time to search the internet. Time enough to see the ring being auctioned off on eBay. It took every last penny of my severance check, but I bought that ring. So now, what little is left of the real ELW - the ring - is my property.

Pre-Wrestling[]

Little evidence exists of Travis' life before college. He attended the University of Greifswald, attaining a Master's Degree in Information Technology with a minor in Mathematics. During his time at Griefswald, Travis also earned three trophies for amateur wrestling, one medal for judo, and zero friends.

And what happens to dangerous loners in college? Why, they get drafted for cults, of course. Travis became fascinated with the internet, and inadvertently discovered Anonymous, a secret organization working towards global control, by way of wanton destruction of the world's sanity. This was right up his alley, so Travis sought out the elusive Legion.

The Legion Of Anonymous[]

Within the Legion, Travis ascended the ranks, eventually becoming the administrator of a Hivemind chapter (Hivemind was the name given to the "ground troops" of the Legion, with the main administrative organization above them being dubbed the Global Lulz Directive (GLD)). His chapter was in charge of using ELITE's vast media network and global touring resources to... well, nobody in Hivemind really knew why, but this didn't stop them from using their position to play lots of pranks "for the lulz".

Travis was also the inside agent who opened the doors for the Anonymous invasion, by taking a job as a cameraman. He managed to finagle a job as Zone Capone's personal assistant, filming all of Zone's segments and constantly being on hand for any task Zone required. This also gave him very choice access to all of ELITE's camera and production equipment and computers.

Travis installed the initial malware which allowed the first overt agent of the Hivemind to appear, known alternately as either "Buxley" or "Anonymous". Buxley used this access to duplicate Zone's gimmick of screwing around with his opponents' trons, but doing so in a very offensive way, such as showing pictures of Mitchell Henderson whenever "Suicide" Steve Fella came out, or replacing Lance Steadfast's tron with racist depictions of black stereotypes.

Anon16 Hits The Canvas[]

Eventually, of course, Buxley got his ass in some hot water, and when Zone unmasked him, he turned out to be Shiro Nemanji. That's when the Hivemind knew they needed to do some damage control. Travis dispatched Agent Adversary, Agent 9000 and Agent PLOX to first apprehend Shiro, and then replace him as the Legion's visible faces. Eventually, it became clear that he was going to have to step in and get the job done himself. He donned the trademark green "faceless" mask of the Legion, glued an afro to the top of it, and picked up his B&Hammer. He wrestled under his official designation Anon16. His first official appearance was at United We Stand: Part 7, where he led members of the Legion in a EuroTeam victory against The Authority, which consisted of Brendan Black and two other guys whose faces were never seen again, so screw them, they don't get to be in this awesome article.

While Anon16 had a tendency to rock the socks off anyone placed before him, other members of the team were not so winsome. One of them was Agent Adversary, who responded to a request by Anon16 to "step up his game", by using GLD's orbital ion cannon network to blow up ELITE Headquarters. This made The Legion pretty universally hated by everyone, because sixteen people died. Even worse, it was only a match against The Reborn (Marf Daniels, Spanky McPipebomb & The Enforcer), not exactly worth killing people over.

The terrorist attack kind of drove Travis a little nutty, on the inside. As the Hivemind chapter's admin, he felt responsible for this blatant use of overkill, and knew that others would blame him for it anyways. So he decided to apply his engineering mojo to the problem, and developed a computer virus called NFGT. The virus was designed to break the connection between GLD and the microchip that every member of Anonymous has implanted in their skulls.

A match was booked at The Last Stand, a blow-off show at the end of the United We Stand tour, which pitted the Legion Of Anonymous against the team of La Duchesse, Jericho, and Shiro Nemanji. Yeah, THAT Shiro. As it turns out, he was working for the Global Lulz Directive the whole time, and was ordered to take out Anon16, before he could activate NFGT. Anon16, frustrated with Shiro's massive screw-ups being rewarded with GLD favoritism, and pretty much getting sick and tired of the whole convoluted Legion/GLD plot anyways, faked his own suicide, and was replaced in this match by Longcat.

The match itself was guest refereed by Zone Capone. who was becoming increasingly frustrated with accusations that he was Anon16. Travis' no-show/fake suicide didn't help these accusations any. As the match grew into ridiculous proportions, Anon16 did a run in, trying to make the save for his team. In the midst of a huge war (in which members of the ELITE ring staff and the Legion Of Anonymous ran in and literally filled the ring), Zone cornered Anon16 off and hit his Punchline finisher, tearing Anon16's mask away, and revealing his identity to the world. This was pretty much the night that the Legion Of Anonymous died as a stable.

The Voices In My Head[]

Subjected to a vicious series of beatings, first from Zone, and then from members of the Legion, Travis' personality severed into two distinct parts. One was his guilty conscience, which felt responsible for allowing things to get so bad. The other was his inner asshole, which felt obligated to punish him for it. Travis decided to name himself "Travis 16", as a tribute to the sixteen people who died in ELITE HQ.

The asshole personality would often take control of Travis while he was sleeping, and place him in dangerous or embarrassing situations, such as buck naked in a Home Depot five minutes before the store opened, tied up in a chair on the set of "3 Girls, 2 Cups, And 1 Very Unlucky Asshole", and eating a huge pile of fiberglass.

The guilty personality felt as though he deserved all of this, and more. He began demanding to take on the pain and suffering of the world, as a "pariah messiah". When facing people in the ring, he would always allow his opponent to beat the ever loving crap out of him for several minutes before striking any sort of offense. Somehow, this technique still won him just about every match he was in - which his asshole personality would only punish him for even harsher.

At Gods Of War #3, Travis squared off against Marf Daniels and Mr. Bigglesworth for the ELW Championship, in a Japanese Exploding Barbed Wire Cage Match. Travis won the match, and the title, but after the match, a strange thing happened - Nightcat (Longcat's unmasked persona) began taunting him from the tron, commanding him to stop being so pathetic, to lose the guilt and be a man.

Match after match, title defense after title defense, Nightcat tormented Travis from afar. Finally, the two locked horns at Apex Magnum: Olympus for the ELW Championship, in a Best Two Out Of Three Falls match. While Nightcat dominated the match at the beginning and got the first fall via submission, eventually, something changed in Travis, and he managed to also get a submission and attain the second win. The duo then battled fiercely for what seemed like forever, until Travis was beaten nearly to death. However, instead of claiming the third win, and the championship, Nightcat merely walked away, forfeiting the match. When interviewed later that night, Nightcat simply stated:

"This was never about the title. I have nothing to prove to him, to you, or to all those yapping sheep watching. Nothing! This wasn’t about me. It was about Travis. Tonight, the emo fuck finally manned up. He showed me something. That’s all I wanted. To Hell with everything else. He can keep that ugly hunk of metal. Travis proved himself to me. That’s enough."

Travis then approached Nightcat, and demanded that the two of them weren't finished yet. Nightcat agreed, and the duo shook hands. And Travis' abusive alternate personality ceased to exist - Travis was now one complete asshole instead of two half asses.

Free At Last[]

No longer tormented by a personality he couldn't control, Travis began fighting for himself. A brand war developed between ELITE and ELW, so Travis made peace with Zone Capone and teamed up with Nightcat to engage in that. This epic battle terminated early, as financial woes caused International Television Enterprises (ITE, the company that backed The Supreme Force's purchase of ELW in the first place) to cut corners on their funding. ELW's last episode featured, as its main event, Travis 16 dropping the ELW title to Alabaster Flex.

Travis Buys ELW[]

ELITE attempted a revival, this lasted three episodes, and aside from naming Nicholas Wolf The new ELITE Universal Champion and Simon Dehumanizer the new ELW Champion, not much was accomplished. This is because nostalgia ain't worth dick in the grand scheme of things, which is why Travis was able to afford to "purchase ELW" (see sidebar to the left). Penniless and homeless, owning only a giant, rusted wrestling ring, Travis sought shelter at the home of fellow Stockholm resident and former ELITE Universal Champion Zero. The two formed a short-lived tag team called Stockholm By Night, and before ELITE's final demise, were announced as the number one contenders for the EuroCup, ELITE EuroTeam division's highest honor.

Then, He Disappeared[]

Then, he disappeared. You were expecting more than this? Well, there isn't any info here. Travis won't say what he did during this period in time, and if he does speak up, it won't go in this section.

There are several theories about this though. They include extended stalking of Zone Capone, some unfinished business with Anonymous, and, the most likely one, time off to heal from the extensive amount of damage he has done to his body over the course of his career. If there's anyone on this planet more in need of medical attention in all of its forms, it's probably Travis Tokelgard.

Vierzeven Says Do The Math[]

On September 15th 2009, The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) hosted their 5th Anniversary show. WWF has always had a low-key rivalry with ELITE, due mostly to the fact that several of their roster members bounced between WWF and ELITE during ELITE/ELW's heyday. When ELITE/ELW died, many of their members came back to WWF, feeling there was little choice in the matter, and many of them adopting masked personae. One of them was Vierzeven, who made his very first appearance in a short segment during the 5th Anniversary Show.

Over the course of the next couple weeks, Vierzeven kept announcing multiple "comebacks", explaining short-lived absences due to injury (he cut his cuticle while clipping his nails), drug addiction (he referred to coffee-based energy drinks as "steroids"), shooting a movie (he literally put a bullet into a copy of "Star Wars") and contract disputes (he was trying to negotiate for "a grossly ridiculous amount of money" and had only received "a ridiculous amount of money"). At his fifth comeback, he presented the WWF with a riddle: "I put the V in Vierzeven. Google it and do the math."

The solution to the riddle could be found by running "Vierzeven" on a Google Translate set to Dutch, and discovering that this translates into "four seven". If you put "V" into this (five, in Roman numerals), the three numbers add up to 16. Dutch was hinted at as the translation language during a promo, in which Vierzeven asked who he was here to please, and sarcastically answered "Is it management? The wrestlers? The fans? The arena staff? The Dutch? I'll bet it's the Dutch."

Vierzeven officially revealed his identity as Travis 16 on December 16, 2009, on an episode of WWF Betrayal. He was immediately booked in a three-way match for the WWF Betrayal title. It was also revealed that at least one member of the WWF (Mark Foley, possibly others) left the WWF at or before this revelation, realizing that the controversial ELW wrestler was coming to WWF and would be considered a tangible threat to them. Yes, world, Travis 16 is using his Wiki article to call Mark Foley a doggone pussy. He can come prove it isn't true any time he likes.

The WWF Betrayal Championship[]

Travis 16 finally wrestles (as himself) in the WWF on December 23rd, 2009, at WWF's last PPV of the year, House Of Horrors. Travis defeated "The Main Event" Matt Ford and Simon Swinger in a three-way dance for the WWF Betrayal title. In this, his very first outing ever with the brand, Travis claims gold.

Surrounding this claim, was a war of words with the WWF Champion, Gideon Francis, who had taken note of Travis' ELW and ELITE careers, and as a way of marking his territory, challenged Travis to a match. This match took place on the 1/19/10 edition of WWF WarZone, and ended with neither side claiming a clear victory. This argument evolved into a short-lived rivalry between Stockholm By Night and Gideon's stable, the Apostle's Creed.

ELW ReRedux #1 And The Coming Of Slagsmålgang[]

About this time, some large fellows with their faces painted in luchador mask style patterns started following Travis and Zero around. The only information known to the public at this time, is that they are collectively known as Slagsmålgang ("fight gang" in Swedish).

Travis was challenged by Jose Fernandez to an ELW Match (which, strictly speaking, is a match that takes place in the old ELW ring), and since Travis never turns down an ELW Match challenge, the fight was on. Members of Slagsmålgang set up the ELW ring during an episode of WWF Betrayal in which Travis and Jose were going to have their unsanctioned match. However, WWF's CEO Grady Angle had plans for Travis to face Simon Dehumanizer at WWF's upcoming pay-per-view, so he broke up the fight and left everyone rather butthurt.

Two days later, UHF Channel 16 was pirated throughout western Ontario Canada, and anyone within broadcast range was treated to ELW ReRedux #1.

Slagsmålgang set up the ELW ring in an undisclosed location, and broadcast a visceral, disturbing match between Travis and Jose. During this match, Travis broke his left hand and his jaw, and Jose suffered a broken right knee and permanent throat damage.

Also, about an hour after Jose whooped Travis' ass, Travis was declared dead by a mob doctor.

That Weird Demon Shit Angle[]

Travis, being no stranger to comas and brain death, was not convinced he was dead until he awoke in Hell. He was claimed and became possessed by a demon-like creature named Balzac Von Necropoleon. This strange demonic entity seemed obsessed with consummating a homosexual encounter with WWF wrestler and Apostles Creed member Arrow The MVP. It would also turn out that Necropoleon had dealings with Simon Dehumanizer's mother Juggs Mackenzie in the past, granting her the strength to survive giving birth to the monstrous wrestler, and he intended to make Travis throw his Championship match with Dehumanizer to fulfill his bargain with Ms. Mackenzie and claim her soul.

With the assistance of a priest named Vater, as well as the unquestioning loyalty of Slagsmålgang, Travis was able to ward off the effects of his demonic possession long enough to beat Dehumanizer at WWF Sole Survivor 2010 and retain his Betrayal title.

It is still unclear whether the possession was yet another manifestation of Travis' on-again, off-again multiple personality disorder, or the genuine article. As it is well-known that Travis is incurably impotent, the idea that he would harbor any sexual fantasies, let alone such low-standard homosexual ones, is strong evidence to suggest that Hell is indeed a real place, filled with our worst nightmares.

Travis Is Impotent? Like, His Dick Doesn't Work?[]

Yes, and Travis doesn't mind telling people about it, as evidenced by his exchanges with La Duchesse. His current rivalry with this mystery woman is still pending... oh wait, no, he died during this.

Travis Dies In Mid-Promo[]

During several of his promos against La Duchesse, Travis would stand waist-deep in sewer water, lay in garbage and otherwise expose himself to gross and disgusting things. Thanks to this, a quick-acting form of dick-rot took his life on June 8, 2010. He is no doubt in Hell, being tortured by all-to-familiar little midgets.

The Haunting Of The Ring & The Coming Of XVI[]

For a time, the ELW Ring was carried to various venues by members of Slagsmålgang, in almost religious ceremony. Simon Dehumanizer followed the ring around as part of ELITE's third and final revival, defending "his" ELW Championship in a wide variety of matches. Most of his victories were legit, however it was also kind of weird that bits of the ring would often break in ways that harmed his opponents.

After several defenses, the canvas in the center of the ring began to bleed, forming the words "MY TURN". Suddenly, Travis appeared in the center of the ring, his eyes hollow, and the letters "XVI" carved across his forehead. He revealed that Balzac Von Necropoleon had indeed claimed his soul, however since Travis swore a vow, in blood, to never turn down an ELW Match, his soul was still tied forever to the ELW Ring. He began to call himself simply "XVI", ande challenged Simon to a match for the ELW Title.

Simon bested XVI at their match, which was a brutal display; lasting well over 60 minutes, and nearly killing Simon in the process. XVI continued to wrestle anyone who challenged him, but could not leave the ring. Slagsmålgang continued their role as the caretakers.

...I Got Better[]

Somehow, Travis escaped the clutches of Balzac Von Necropoleon, and once again walks among the living in a regular old body (complete with a still-not-working peener). He immediately squandered this second chance at life, by wrestling for 2 matches at Strike Fantasy Towers. Despite one of the most positive responses Travis ever got, he left citing creative differences.

However, he did manage to attract the attention of another insane nihilist wrestler who wears a suit, "The Messiah Pariah" Ataxia. No, really, that was his nickname. Kismet, right? Anyways, Travis is currently trying to get the folks at Boardwalk Wrestling to pay attention to him, so he can collaborate with pretty much the only other motherfucker on this planet who understands the stinking little troll-tard.

Known Allies[]

5bn banner1 — Stockholm By Night, Travis 16's tag team with Zero, focuses on the dark, gritty underworld of Sweden's largest city, and their quest to destroy it beautifully

Zero (Michael Nero): Fellow Stockholm resident and millionaire playboy Michael "Zero" Nero won the European title in ELITE. He enjoyed that reign until he decided to have a nap from wrestling, after which he re-emerged, formed Stockholm by Night with Travis 16, and the pair became number one contenders to the EuroCup trophy, but the company shut down before they could win it.

During the post-ELITE down time, Zero's idle hands went to alcohol, drugs, and eventually, became the devil's playthings (the devil, of course, being Travis). The duo re-formed publicly as Stockholm By Night, however this was all just a front for the real group they formed, Slagsmålgang. They continue to use WWF as a method of popularizing their organization and recruiting more members for Slagsmålgang.

404 (aka Acolyte) (Bradley Timm): Brad has been a fan of Travis 16 ever since his very first public appearance as Anon16. Brad is also a mild-mannered dope with no sense of direction. When Brad decided one day to sell all his shit on Craigslist and move, it was Travis who answered the ad, and recruited him for Slagsmålgang.

Brad's nicknames are "404" (because he is the 404th member of Slagsmålgang) and "Acolyte" (short for "acolyte of Zalomeh-Noh-Z'Kura"; Travis tricked Brad into swearing his life to a false god as a prank).

Wrestling Moves[]

Style Overview[]

His ring style is chaotic, sadomasochistic and devil-may-care. Travis will often let his opponent(s) beat on him mercilessly for the first 2/3 of the match, only to rally back towards the end. All Travis 16 matches end with Travis going at least a .35 on the Muta scale.

Finisher[]

T3:16 - Reverse suplex into an Ace Stunner.
The "T3" actually stands for "tribute to the" and the "16" is the 16 folks who died in the ELITE HQ bombing, but it could also be considered egotistical if you don't know where it comes from.

Signature Moves[]

Massive Butthurtz - Tosses opponent shoulder-first into the turnbuckle post, then, as they are stuck there with their ass hanging out, Travis runs to the opposite corner, gets a running start, and does a massive front dropkick into his opponent's ass. This also drives the opponent's shoulder hard into the ring post a second time.

The Chuckle Buster - STO/Mandible Claw combo. The move is very similar to Zone Capone's finisher, The Punchline, and is intended as a taunt. Sometimes used as a last-ditch finisher.

The Stockholm Syndrome - Judo flip into a dropkick to the neck, followed by a modified anaconda vice. Travis often applies this horrendous move in a fashion that blocks the opponent's mouth and arms, preventing them from saying "I Quit" or tapping out.

Other Moves[]

Headbutt/flying headbutt
Closed-fist punches
Headlock
DDT
Dirty Tactics (Step on Toes, Eye Rake, etc.)
