Wrestler Profile

Jonathan Gresham

Jonathan Gresham is pure wrestling's evangelist — the Octopus whose scientific grappling and Pure Championship crusade in Ring of Honor made technical wrestling a movement again. His foundational Pure rules matches turned wristlocks into main-event drama.

A former ROH World Champion, he co-founded the Foundation to champion classical style, while independent excursions — Terminus, his own promotion, included — spread the gospel. His size defies wrestling convention; his craft refutes it.

Every technical revival of the past decade cites his fingerprints. WrestleRanks voters rank the Octopus on principle: wrestling's conscience, eight limbs deep.
