Early life

Brandon Jared Collymore was born on August 5, 1999, in Jersey City, New Jersey. [1] He was raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He attended North Springs High School where he studied acting and stage production. He served as the school's mascot, which inspired his "The Spartan" nickname. During his youth, he participated in organized basketball and football before focusing on performing arts and digital content. Although he briefly attended college, he chose to withdraw to pursue a full-time career as a YouTuber. [2]

Internet career

Collymore began creating digital content at age 14 when he created his YouTube channel, now known as BDE. His first video was a gameplay video of Happy Wheels. He mainly focused on making Minecraft gameplay videos for two years before transitioning to making gameplay videos of the WWE 2K games and professional wrestling content. His YouTube channel surpassed one million subscribers on August 8, 2023. [2]

Professional wrestling career

BDE began training for professional wrestling in 2019 but took a break in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He resumed training in 2024. [2]

The Wrestling Revolver (2025–present)

On October 19, 2024, at The Wrestling Revolver's Bad Trip event, BDE and the other members of the YouTube group VYBE confronted A. J. Francis . During the segment, BDE countered a chokeslam attempt from Francis with a cutter. [3] At Holiday Special on December 21, a second confrontation occurred where Francis successfully executed a chokeslam on BDE and challenged him to a match. [4]

BDE made his professional wrestling debut on January 9, 2025, at Vybe Check, where he was defeated by Francis in a no disqualification match . [5] On January 31, at Square Game, he competed in a six-man tag team match where he, Brent Oakley, and KC Jacobs were defeated by Francis, Rich Swann, and KC Navarro . [6] At Goated on March 22, BDE participated in a six-man #1 contender's match for the Revolver Remix Championship, which was won by Francis. [7] He was scheduled to challenge Myron Reed for the Revolver World Championship at We Did That on April 5; however, the match was postponed after BDE announced at the event that he sustained an ankle injury during training. Reed attacked his ankle until he was stopped by Swann. [8] BDE eventually received his title opportunity in a Street Fight at Let Us Cook on May 1, but was unsuccessful in defeating Reed. [9]

On June 14, at Cage of Horrors, BDE secured his first career victory by winning a seven-man Golden Ticket Scramble match, earning the Golden Ticket for a future title opportunity of his choosing. [10] He later entered the Jerry Lynn Invitational on August 9, where he was eliminated in the first round during a four-way match that was won by Swann. [8] On October 3, at Tales from the Ring 8, BDE successfully cashed in his Golden Ticket to defeat Francis for the Revolver Remix Championship, winning the first title of his career. Following the match, fellow YouTuber-turned-wrestler Chris Danger appeared in the ring, seemingly to celebrate with BDE, before attacking him. [11] BDE's reign concluded on November 21 at WrestleKombat, where he lost the title to Danger. [12] On November 23, at Art of Battle, BDE defeated Matty Z to win the Battle Arts Canada Championship. [13]

He prevented Francis from using a steel chair, but was subsequently pulled into the ring and struck with a chokeslam by Francis. [17] On the December 11 episode of Impact!, BDE participated in a six-man #1 contender's match for the X Division Championship, but was unsuccessful.
