~Story~

Born in Winter Hill, Massachusetts, Peter James O'Brien was always a loner throughout his life, wanting to be accepted after he finds out that his father happened to be a former gangster for one of the most notorious crime boss in history, James "Whitey" Bulger.

Wanting to strip down his own family's legacy, Peter would start to act up by taking part in fights at school and just not care about what he did wrong since he had enough self-awareness about it.

Eventually, Peter's father would disown him and send him to a Boarding School, where he would learn how to take responsibility for his own actions and how it came with consequences.

During his time in Boarding School, Peter would meet Chris Dijak, who lived in the same area as him, they would go to a wrestling school in The Bronx called House of Hardcore, a promotion and a wrestling school, head by ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer, to learn how to wrestle, since both of them grew up watching it and wanted to get into wrestling.

The two would become best friends as they trained together and watched each other grow as they would become a tag team for a short period of time before they would break up to focus on their singles runs.

While Dijak was becoming a fixture in ROH, Peter would struggle for a bit until he found his gimmick, taking after the infamous IRA, or Irish Republican Army vs England war from the early 1900s to the 1980s, where he learned his great grandfather was an IRA soldier, who fought against England for Irish Independence.

Peter would reinvent himself, going under the ring name "Johnny Collins" as "Johnny" would be from his favorite song from the Dropkick Murphys, "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya", and Michael Collins, who founded the IRA and would get executed at 24 for his beliefs.

Thinking the gimmick could serve him well, Peter would adopt a camo army jacket, jeans, boots, and a black newsboy hat, also donning the Irish flag around his neck to represent his family history.

Many fans were turned off by the idea, but the fans would soon grow to love Pete as he puts on a show every night to show how much he loves wrestling, as well as giving out handshakes and offering pictures and autographs, as a way to hype up the fans before each show.

However, in mid-2016, after four long years, Peter would make amends with his father, who had been ill for some time, as he was told by his mother he had no time left to live and wanted to bury the hatchet.

In late 2017, Peter would sign with Ring of Honor, winning the ROH Television Championship two times and achieving his first ever World Championship in wrestling, dedicating it to his father, who passed away from Pneumonia the day before the G1 Supercard of Honor PPV at MSG, in the main event, saying, with a tear in his eye...

"Before we end the show, I just want to acknowledge that my father did pass away a day ago. I was torn about whether or not I should come here and wrestle for this world Championship, but I knew for a fact that he would've wanted me to go wrestle.

I'm extremely proud and honored to know that I work for a company that deeply cares about wrestling and many other things regarding this sport, as well as its talent.

Okay, now I'm getting a little emotional here.

But, yeah, dad, I love you. I miss you, and I hope that you rest in peace. You know, I had my tears when I heard the news from my mom, but I just wanna say that this Championship is dedicated to you."

Getting the support from the fans and the wrestlers in the back, Peter would improve his work ethic and showed that he had what it took to succeed in wrestling, and be that much of a humble human being.

Soon enough, NXT came calling as Peter would sign with WWE in late 2018, starting out in NXT and would win the NXT Championship one time before April 2020, the world would get shut down due to Covid, and would be one of the first victims of the Black April WWE cuts, shocking many fans and wrestlers combined.

Instead of being mad about being released, Peter would express gratitude and thank the WWE for his time there.

After his 90 day non-compete clause was expired, Peter would head to Japan and would ambush one of the most brutal wrestlers in the history of Japanese wrestling, Jun Kasai, defeating him in a normal match while beating wrestlers in hardcore matches and winning, becoming a three time Pro Wrestling Freedoms World Champion from 2020 to 2022, where would eventually signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling, not joining any faction to where he wanted to be his own boss.

However, during the middle of 2023, at a Stardom show, as Peter looked to take a break from wrestling to heal up his body, out came a very charismatic girl to where she would dance and smile, looking very sexy, very beautiful, and very seductive to where at the end of her entrance, as she was on her knees and spread her arms out, the two would lock eyes and stare at each other while the announcer introduced her as "Shirakawa Mina".

During their eye-lock, Mina would smile and stick out her tongue to the side, subtly telling everyone that she has found a new snack in the form of Peter O'Brien.

After the show, as a surprise, there would be a meet and greet as the faction, Club Venus, would sign autographs and take pictures with the fans. Peter, however, managed to make it to them as Mina was the first person to introduce herself as she would start to flirt with the guy, right in front of the fans and her fellow Club Venus stablemates.

Mariah May, one of her best friends, would become a bit perplexed by her friend's behavior and as the meet and greet would end, Mina would proclaim to her friends that she had an insatiable desire for Peter and actually starts to thirst for HIM!

Peter, however, would be oblivious to Mina's advances and would actually start to feel flustered whenever Mina made an advancement towards the guy, subtly telling him that she likes him and wants to go out with him on a date.

Peter would give in and offered coffee at a cafe, as a start, which Mina accepted with jubilation, feeling she accomplished her goal of getting to know him, but deep down, Mina would eventually start to realize that her advances were not genuine and starts to genuinely fall head over heels for the Irishman, but little does she know, Peter is starting to feel the same way.

The question is, would they be together?
