Some say his visage is like deadly candy... he's Growl, and he means business. Nitty-gritty British business. He was born in a ring in London town; the progeny of Helena Bates (AKA Toots Throttlebottom) and the bell from a wrestling ring in Omaha, or so legend has it. Amanda Underarm had just executed her patented jumping gut-buster on Bates when out shot Growl, who tragically landed squarely on a floor-hot dog, mouth first. The blow from the floor-dog shredded his vocal chords, but also lined them with a permanent layer of mostly-pork-product, marring his breath and giving his breathing a deep gurgling growl sort of sound—hence the name. He is notable for having been the first wrestler to attempt to eat his opponent with a knife and fork (he was very proper at dinner) and for developing a peculiar form of sign language that involved using the tongue as well as hands... well, that was really the only difference between it and regular sign language, but he seemed very proud of it.
