History Wrestling / TravisBanks

* SexierAlterEgo: 'Stupid Sexy Travis', a version of Banks that first appeared in Attack! Pro Wrestling in 2017. Involves Banks wearing a string vest, gold chains, trucker cap and sunglasses and dancing (or more accurately, gyrating) his way to the ring to 'Rappers Delight' by the Sugar Hill Gang, and that's just the start. He's also appeared in this guise at a Fight Club Pro and Attack Pro Wrestling crossover show and teamed with other wrestlers as similarly dressed 'stupid sexy' versions of themselves.

He is the current Progress Wrestling World Champion, former Rev Pro British Tag Team Champion with Chris Brookes as CCK, a former Fight Club: Pro Champion, the inaugural Lucha Forever champion, a two-time IPW New Zealand Heavyweight Champion, the winner of the 2017 Super Strong Style 16 tournament for Progress, and former Defiant Internet Title champion.

** In Attack! Pro Wrestling, from July 2016 to August 2017, he was known as Sgt Banks and was part of the Anti-Fun Police alongside "Chief Deputy" Damian Dunne, "Los Federales Santos Sr." Dan Moloney and the Hunter Brothers (Jim and Lee Hunter) as the Obstruction Brothers (Jim and Leigh Obstruction).

* HeelFaceTurn: Banks underwent a slower variation of this in Progress in the build-up to the 2017 Super Strong Style 16. Starting from his tag team title match at Chapter 45 against the much-hated Wrestling/BritishStrongStyle, the South Pacific Power Trip were the default good guys throughout the match. He then began showing much more respect for his opponents, calling off T.K Cooper at the start of his match against Jordan Devlin at Chapter 44 and even getting T.K Cooper to show respect to Jack Sexsmith after their match at Chapter 46 despite the rivalry between the two. After the South Pacific Power Couple left the UK Wrestling scene due to visa issues, he built himself back up to be a force to be reckoned with as a singles competitor. Once he was entered into Super Strong Style 16, the rest is history.
