Name: Todd Lilly
Height and Weight: 5'8” 160
Wrestling Style: High spots
Bio: One years ago, Todd Lilly received some “backyard” training by a one-time indy star. Too bad Todd learned only a few spots when the “indy star” vanished with Todd's entire one year tuition. Todd needed the money, so he went out on the indy circuit wearing a mask to try to make some cash. Too bad Todd found out that improper training leads to a bad reputation and little or no bookings. Now Todd is trying to win Dang! They're Tough to not only get quality training, but to repair his reputation. Can this 21 year old unlearn all of the improper techniques and establish himself as more than just an inept spot monkey?

Name: Helios Belesis
Height and Weight: 5'10 235 lbs
Type of wrestler: High end submission (ie. early 90s Pancrase/mid 90s UWFi, Volk Han style RINGS)
Bio: A product of Greece, Helios Belesis was born on the island of Crete on January 3, 1994. As a youngster, he was surrounded by people proud of their island and customs. Among the traditions passed onto him by the locals was that of a love for the ancient Greek fighting art of Pankration. Since the age of five, Helios has trained with his father, uncles and their children in the art of striking and submission. For the Belesis Family, Pankration was both a hobby and a way of life.
When the Greek economy went south in late 2007, the island of Crete was devastated. Tourism flatlined, and the Belesis Family's standard of living collapsed. Year after year of painful austerity saw the island economy move from recession into deeper levels of depression. After the suicide death of his father, seeing no hope for her son's life if he remains in Crete, Helios was encouraged by his mother to seek opportunity abroad. Now having moved to the United States, with pennies in his pocket and barely a dollar to his name, young Helios will attempt to make a name for himself in Dang They're Tough. He hopes that somewhere inside him, he will have what it takes to fulfill his American Dream!

Name: Caleb Romero
Height and Weight[: 6'0"; 252 lbs.
Hometown: Huber Heights, Ohio
Type of Wrestler: All-arounder (some brawling, a little high-flying, some submission, mostly technical)
Bio: With his size, Caleb could've been a star quarterback at Ohio State University, but he was chosen second string and sat the entire season on the bench. In his spare time, he played lead guitar and sang in his college rock band, the Alpha Romeros. After graduating with a 3.5, the Romeros broke up, and Caleb began wondering where his life was going to go. He then saw an ad in a local gym for a new reality wrestling show called Dang! They're Tough!, and decided to send in his application.

Name: Chase Monroe
Height and Weight: 6' 205
Style: American style with ability to take punishment
Bio: Chase Monroe is a born-again Christian. Chase had a long history of doing drugs and drinking until he hit rock bottom. On New Year's Eve, he was drunk and a passenger in a car driven by another intoxicated person. An accident occurred and broke his back. Chase was lucky, because the driver and 3 other passengers died. That woke Chase up. After talking to a chaplain every day in the hospital during his recovery, Chase believes God saved him for a reason. Chase is out to spread the word of God and thinks Dang! They're Tough is the perfect vessel. Will Chase's preaching turn the other contestants against him? Does Chase really care about wrestling?
