History and/or Personality
Sir Arthur Wingate is the half brother of current UBL Sergeant, Drake Yoshida. While Drake was the owner of the former UBL, his parents actually provided the funding to originally purchase it and keep it running until deciding to sell it to Orochi Geese. William Wingate is the father of both Arthur and Drake, while Drake's mother is not related by blood to Arthur. Arthur greatly honors and boasts of his Wingate family lineage (while insulting the Yoshida one) and proudly wears the Wingate "Coat of Arms" crest on his wrestling attire. Arthur has come to the UBL in an attempt to bring it back to the Wingate family. However how he exactly plans to do that is not obvious.
Meanwhile, he has made it his intentions to dominate UBL by winning the NEXUS Title and eventually owning the entire promotion. He wants to carry on the legacy of his father's ownership as Wingate blood runs through UBL. And he intends to either buy it from Geese or pressure him into giving it to him. Winning the NEXUS Title is both an end in itself as well as a means to controlling UBL.
While the American professional wrestling scene is only now getting an understanding of how talented he is, Europe is already quite aware. Arthur holds a number of wrestling and boxing championships from around Europe and especially in England. He is a rare breed in possessing high abilities in throwing, striking, and applying submissions.
His only weaknesses appears to be his own arrogance in how high he views his own personal greatness and an air of somewhat ignorant supremacy about other fighting styles. Plus he tends to piss a lot of people off and make enemies due to his holier then thou attitude. However, he is completely against cheating in a match or attacking his rivals outside of competition. Fans and rivals do not always like him, but all recognize his integrity and ability.
MAJOR 2013 update:
Arthur Wingate bought the UBL from Orochi Geese in late 2011. You can see the formal announcement here.
After a year of only running shows in front of a live audience, Wingate brought it back to the international public on December 13th, 2012 and has been running it ever since with his half-brother Drake Yoshida as his immediate subordinate.
Arthur's biggest challenges in running UBL have come from Destiny who wants to acquire the UBL for themselves, as well as from some wrestlers who don't quite understand the more "honor" based European style. However, Arthur has met all challenges head on like the Knight that he is and has now had just about two successful years of ownership under his belt.
Titles Held/Other honors:
-A virtual treasure trove of European catch, amateur wrestling, and boxing championships. It would be immodest to list them all.
- Was knighted by the Queen of England.
- An Oxford man.
- Has seen his visage in the mirror and heard himself speak.
Quotes:
"Most ungentlemanly..."
