Basic info

Professional wrestling career

PpW Ewenement (2022-present)

Training and debut

Gustav started his pro wrestling training at PpW Dojo - an unofficial predecessor of Ewenement Dojo. He was trained mostly by Jacob Crane, who later became the head coach of the Dojo. Gustav made his debut at PpW Mistrzowskie Rozdanie, where he faced and defeated Ricardo Diesel. He quickly become a regular star at PpW events, thanks to his villainous gimmick of an ambitious, ruthless corporate suit who despises "hobos" and "low-lifes", which was a clear shot at the PpW audience, which is predominantly loosely assossiated with more rebellious and alternative ways of life. For the first few months of his career he was managed by Osamu, until their falling out at Turbo OG in December 2023..

During his first matches in PpW he become one of most influential "traditional" wrestlers in PpW, focusing more on classic wrestling matches than hardcore wrestling, compared to other members of the PpW roster. Besides PpW, Gustav also made an appearance at the cross-promotion show MZW+PpW: Żadnych Granic.

Joining "Zmowa" and becoming PpW Champion

In the early 2024 Gustav, alongside his personal trainer and bodyguard Jakub Linde, formed an alliance with the villainous PpW producer, Mister Z. This alliance would be lated called "Zmowa". Gustav was quickly pushed by Mister Z into a No Holds Barred Match against Goblin at Ledwo Legalne IV, with the winner gaining the #1 Contender spot for the PpW Championship. Gustav defeated his opponent and cashed in his title shot after his ally Mister Z failed to defeat Feager and champion Biesiad in a triple threat match. The title shot cash-in was successful, thus Gustav Gryffin became the 7th PpW Champion in history.

Zmowa vs Zmowa Przeciwko Zmowie; feud with Samson

For the better part of 2024, Gustav became one of the most influential workers in the PpW roster, serving as Mister Z's right-hand man and "The Face of the Company". Zmowa gathered more talent such as Olgierd and Marco Hammers as Legia Łysych, as well as Isnorr. Almost every member of Zmowa had to face off one of the babyfaces in the company. After defeating Biesiad in a rematch for the PpW Championship at Ale Grzeje, Gustav spent almost the whole second half of the year feuding with Samson. With Team Zmowa eventually losing to Team Zmowa Przeciwko Zmowie in a Ustawka (Hooligan Street Fight) Match at Co Za Noc, Gustav emerged victorious from his battle against the Beast from Będzin after defeating him in a Strap Match - thus ending their feud.

Feud with Gabriel Queen

At Hardcore Friday: Barszcz z Krzesłami Gustav faced Johnny Blade. After the match he was attacked by Gabriel Queen - the winner of a title shot for the PpW Championship earlier that night - who introduced his gloved thumb into Gustav's rectum. The humiliated Gustav accepted the fact that he would have to face Gabriel at Gruba Przesada, but just before the match started, he stipulated a 15 minute time limit, stating that he values his time. Due to a referee knock-out, Gustav was able to retain his championship.

At Hardcore Friday 21.000 Gustav teamed up with Isnorr to face Pure Gold. The match resulted in Gustav and Isnorr's defeat after Vic Golden pinned Isnorr. Nevertheless, it was Gustav's first defeat during his title reign, so Gabriel challenged Gustav for a rematch at Teraz Albo Nigdy. The match was set up in a Two Out Of Three Falls stipulation, and during the match, just before Gabriel Queen was going for the second pinfall and victory, he was struck with a chair by long-time friend Vic Golden, which allowed Gustav to defeat Gabriel and end their feud.

The Last Dance

After the 20 Typa 20 Broni Rumble Match in the main event of Teraz Albo Nigdy, Goblin became #1 Contender for the PpW Championship at Ledwo Legalne 5. The match was named "The Last Dance" due to it being the third official match between Goblin and Gustav.

Maniac Zone Wrestling (2023-present)

Gustav made his debut in Maniac Zone Wrestling at the joint show MZW+PpW Żadnych Granic, where he defeated Chris Cage in a Singles Match. He later made another appearance over a year later at the next MZW show, No Time to Die, where he successfully defended his PpW Championship against Sambor. In contrast to his PpW reception, in MZW he is portrayed as a babyface persona without any dramatic changes to his gimmick.

Legacy of Wrestling (2024-present)

In November 2024 Gustav was set to face Wiktor Longman in a match for the PpW Championship at Legacy of Wrestling's first show. Following Wiktor's withdrawal due to personal reasons, Gustav's opponent was changed to Axel Fox. Despite initially being ruled as Axel's victory via pinfall, the match was restarted after Sinister pointed out that Gustav's hand was outside of the ring, which went unnoticed by Referee Sewi. Legacy's Chairman confirmed this and the match was restarted, with Gustav quickly submitting Axel with a chokehold.

On 22.03.2025 it was announced that Gustav would face Polish-American wrestler Kubes in a "Road To Title Match" which will take place at Legacy of Wrestling vol. 2
