Float like a boat, sting like a bee

Professionally he's known as The Bruiser, but his friends call him Wendel. I know, you've never heard of him. But believe me, he's been out there for quite a few years now pounding away at his opponents. Bruisers favorite move is "The Steamtrain." That's where he comes barreling across the ring to head butt his foe. It's actually quite effective. Problem is it's illegal. Wendel spends a lot of time on probation. That's probably why you've never heard of him.

Notice his foot action. He's actually pretty light on his feet. That's because Wendel's other job is a lifesaver at the public pool. He's got to be ready to dive in after a drowning kid or spin around and confront the pestering kid (usually the same kid). 

He just came from there. That's why he doesn't have on the regulation trunks. And he gets a lot of laughs over them at the pool as well. Wendel doesn't really mind. He likes sitting in the sun and blowing his whistle. Does he love it more than boxing? It's really hard to tell. Is he a boxer who makes extra dough as a lifeguard or a lifeguard who uses boxing to keep in shape? 

I don't think he's figured that out yet.
