Thom Latimer

Thomas Raymond Latimer (born 6 August 1986) is an English professional wrestler and actor.

He currently competes for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he is a former NWA World Television Champion.

He also competes on the independent circuit.

Latimer is known for his work in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring name Bram, where he is a former one-time TNA King of the Mountain Champion.

Before signing to TNA, he performed under the ring name Kenneth Cameron for WWE's developmental territory NXT as a member of The Ascension.

Latimer was born on August 1986 at Chesterfield Royal Hospital in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, Although Latimer didn't grow up watching professional wrestling, he then discovered a video recording of WrestleMania VIII and later the 1998 King of the Ring and from then on in he was hooked on wrestling.

Latimer initially debuted in wrestling as a referee in 2002 and eventually began to wrestle with only a little prior training.

He began wrestling in a small promotion called SCW which later became SWWA in Birmingham where he wrestled as Tom Savage until 2005 when he moved to Harrogate and joined a wrestling school in Leeds run by World of Sport veteran Jeff Kaye.

He changed his name to Brendon Fraser at a festival called the Bulldog Bash.

Later in 2005 before a squash match WWE wanted him to change his name, therefore he changed Brendon to Brandon and because he was nicknamed T at Jeff Kaye's wrestling school he put the two together to become Brandon T.

In said squash match he teamed up with fellow Jeff Kaye wrestling school member, Chris Chaos to take on Snitsky and Tyson Tomko on Heat on 21 November 2005.

Latimer debuted for All Star Wrestling on 7 July 2008, losing to Drew McDonald.

He would spend most of the remaining decade wrestling for ASW until he signs a contract with the WWE.

His last match was tag team over the top rope elimination match when he teamed with Kid Cool, Shadow Phoenix and Tony Spitfire and lost to Dave Mastiff, Mikey Whiplash, Rampage Brown and Spud.

Latimer signed with WWE in late 2010 and debuted at WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) on 20 January 2011 as Kenneth Cameron.

He teamed with fellow British debutant Monty Lynch in a losing effort against the FCW Florida Tag Team Champions Damien Sandow and Titus O'Neil in a non-title bout.

The pair won their first match in FCW a week later against Jacob Novak and an unknown wrestler.

Cameron's first few television appearances came in the form of losing to established FCW talent such as Brodus Clay.

On 28 August 2011, Ricardo Rodriguez announced the formation of a stable called The Ascension, with members including Cameron, Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon, and Raquel Diaz.

On 30 September, Cameron and Colon had a shot at the FCW Tag Team Championship but lost to the current champions of CJ Parker and Donny Marlow.

By October, however, the Ascension was no longer associated with Rodriguez, as video packages promoting the Ascension in new supernatural dark characters only featured the other four Ascension members.

By the end of November, the Ascension had all but disbanded.

Cameron continued to use the Ascension gimmick during his appearances.

Latimer had previously been arrested in January 2011 for driving under the influence.

Cameron went on a three-month singles winning streak beating the likes of Jiro and Calvin Raines until he finally lost to Colin Cassady on 23 February 2012.

On 15 March 2012 Cameron was accompanied to the ring by the returning Conor O'Brian in his match against Byron Saxton, the match ended in disqualification when O'Brian interfered.

Cameron and O'Brian began wrestling as a tag team using the name The Ascension, and on 23 March the two defeated Jason Jordan and Xavier Woods.

The Ascension suffered their first loss when the pair lost to the FCW Tag Team Champions, Corey Graves and Jake Carter, in a title bout.

After this loss the Ascension went on another winning streak included defeating Adam Mercer and Chad Baxter, Jason Jordan and Mike Dalton, Brad Maddox and Rick Victor in a fatal four-way elimination match.

When WWE rebranded its developmental territory, FCW, into NXT Wrestling, Cameron and O'Brian (wrestling as the Ascension) debuted on the 20 June 2012 episode of the rebooted of NXT taped at Full Sail University, where they defeated Mike Dalton and CJ Parker.

The Ascension then started a feud with The Usos, defeating them on the 5 September NXT, and also scored a win over Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd on the 3 October NXT.

Two weeks later, the Ascension teamed up with Kassius Ohno to defeat Richie Steamboat and The Usos.

Latimer was officially released from his NXT contract by the WWE on 30 November 2012 after being charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and disorderly intoxication in St. Petersburg, Florida.

After his release from his NXT contract by the WWE and his 90-day non-compete clause expired, Latimer began competing on the independent circuit while reusing the Kenneth Cameron ring name and The Ascension gimmick, as he lost to Tommy Taylor at an NWA Florida Underground Wrestling event on 9 February 2013.

He made his debut for World Xtreme Wrestling on the 27 February episode of WXW Rage where he lost to CJ Doyle.

Cameron would wrestle at Full Impact Pro Establish Dominance and defeated Johnny Vandal.

After the match, Larry Dallas, who was at ringside with Scott Reed, Trina Michaels and Buggy Nova offered Cameron a spot with The Scene, which Cameron turned down.

Vandal then attacked Cameron and asked to join The Scene.

On the 3 April episode of WXW Rage, after defeating Tony Torres, Kenneth came out to the ring and demanded a shot at the recently vacated WXW Television Championship which he got after laying out Doyle.

He would go on to lose to Doyle.
