Hey everyone I'm here again today with another get to know. I'm in a mood to blog like crazy today so I've decided to my second get to know of the week! I decided to go for another get to know because they seem to be the post popular and the most people enjoy reading so here's another one. You can let me know what you think of Bram and who you would like to get to know next by tweeting me at @TezangiVictoria.

So today's get to know is Bram. For the none TNA fan's or views this probably aint gonna be your seen but he 's an intresting guy with a hell of a background to talk about. Bram (Thomas Raymond Latimer) was born August 6th 1986 in Chesterfield England. He's 6 ft 3 and weighs 214 lbs. Latimer didn't grow up watching pro wrestling however he later discovered a video recording of Wrestlemania 8 and king of the ring 1998 and became a fan and was hooked on pro wrestling. In 2002 Latimer debuted in wrestling as a referee and eventually began wrestling with no prior training. He first began wrestling for a small promotion in Birmingham called SWWA where he wrestled as Tom Savage until 2003 when he joined a wrestling school in Leeds when he moved to Harrogate witch was run by World Of Sport veteran Jeff Kaye. He would then change he's name to Brendon Fraser at a festival called Bulldog Bash. In 2005 before a squash match WWE wanted him to change he's name so he then changed it from Brendon to Brandon and because he was nicknamed T at Kaye's wrestling school he put the two together and created Brendon T.On November 21, 2005 at the squash match he teamed up with fellow Jeff Kaye school member Chris Chaos to take on Snitsky and Tyson Tomko on Heat. On July 7, 2008 Latimer debuted for All Star wrestling losing to Drew McDonald. He would spend most of the remanding decade in ASW before eventually being signed by WWE. He's last match a 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 and Rampage Brown and Spud. Latimer signed with WWE in late 2010 and made he's FCW debute on January 20, 2011 as Kenneth Cameron. He was teamed with fellow British Monty Lynch in a loosing effort against FCW tag team champions Damien Sandow and Titus O'Neill in a none title match. The pair would go on to win their first FCW match a week later against Jacob Novak and an unknown wrestler. Cameron's first thew TV appearance came in form of losing to establish FCW talent such as Brodus Clay. On August 28 2011 it was announced by Ricardo Rodriguez that there was a new stable called the Ascension made up of  Kenneth Cameron, Conor O'Brian, Tito Colon an Raquel Diaz.The first match including all members came on September 1, 2011 and saw Cameron, Colon and O'Brian accompanied by Diaz defeating the team of CJ Parker, Donny Marlow, and Johnny Curtis. Cameron and Colon has a shot at the FCW tag team championship but lost to the current champions CJ Parker and Donny Marlow.Come October the Ascension was no longer associated with Rodriguez as the video packages promoting the Ascension in a new supernatural dark characters only featured the other four members. By the end of November the Ascension where no longer as O'Brian was out on injury,  Colon had been called up to the main roster with cousin Primo and Diaz had a new gimmick. This left Cameron as the sole survivor and he carried on using the Ascension gimmick. The split of the Ascension appeared beneficial for Cameron as he went on a three month singles winning streak however on February 23 2012 he the streak was ended when he lost a one on one match with Colin Cassady. On March 15 2012 Cameron was accompanied to the ring with a returning
O'Brian in he's match against Bryon Saxton, the match ended in DQ when O'Brian interfered. The two went on to become a tag team using the name The Ascension and on March 23 they had their first tag team match where they picked up the win against Jason Jordan and Xavier Woods. Their first lost came when they faced the FCW tag team champions Corey Graves and Jake Carter in a title match. After that loss the Ascension would then go on another winning streak including a fatal four way elimination match .When WWE turnt FCW into NXT Cameron and O'Brian would appear on the first episode of the new WWE NXT were they defeated CJ Parker and Mike Dalton. They then had a feud with the Usos defeating them on September 5 and on October 3 they got win over Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd. Two week's later they would team with Kassius Ohno to defeat The Usos and Richie Steamboat.  Latimer was realised from WWE on November 30 2012 when he was charged with battery. He has previously been arrested for driving under the influence in January 2011.
In 2013 Latimer began wrestling in the independent circuit, reusing the Kenneth Cameron ring name and Ascension gimmick. as he lost to Tommy Taylor back in February 9 at an NWA Florida underground wrestling event. Under the name Kenneth the Great he made he's debut for World Xtreme Wrestling on the 27th of February were he lost to CJ Doyle. He would Wrestle at Full Impact Pro and defeated Johnny Vandal. After the match he turnt down an offer from Larry Dallas who was at ring side with Scott Reed, Trina Michaels and Buggy Nova a spot with the Scene. Vandal then attacked Cameron and asked to join The Scene. On the April 3rd episode of WXW Rage  after defeating Tony Torres, Cameron came out to the ring demanding a shot at the vacant WXW Television Championship witch he got after laying out Doyle. He would then go on to lose to Doyle. At FIP the Ascension, he would team up with Tommy Taylor to face the new Scene members but lost due to an interference from the other Scene members. At FUW 2, Cameron went one on one with Bruce Santee for the NWA FUW Bruiserweight championship which he would lose. At FUW throwdown 3 helped rule Britannia defeat JD Maverick and James Alexander after interfering in their match, Cameron would then become the 3rd member.
On April 11 2014, Latimer had a tryout for  TNA before One Night Only: X- Travaganda 2. Latimer debuted on Impact Wrestling on May 4 2014  under the ring name Bram where he was in a backstage segment with Magnus where they posed as childhood friends and Bram would tell Magnus how he had become soft and and Corporate.On May 15 Bram and Magnus  faced Willow in a handicap match,but lost. On May 29th Bram defeated Tiger Uno in under 5 minuets. He lost to Willow on June 5th  by DQ . On June 26th Bram and Magnus would defeat Willow and Abyss in a monster's ball match. And on August 7th Bram won a stairway to Janice match against Abyss.  Personally I love Bram. I think he talented both in the ring and on the mic. I love he's current gimmick and he plays to amazingly. I've grown to like the idea of him and Magnus but I think he's gonna have an amazing singles career in TNA. There's something very traditional but he's style but at the same time modern and entertaining. I'm a fan of the feud with Abyss and I'm loving seeing some true hardcore action.  The two compliment each other in the ring. He still has a lot to show in TNA but I think we have a world champion here with Bram, watch this space. He has also starred in several movies including Best Buds and Blind Tag.
