Austin Matelson
Age: 30
Hometown: Woodland Hills, California
Current City: Woodland Hills, California
Occupation: Professional wrestler
First Impression: Our initial impression is that Austin might quickly become a fan favorite. He’s sexy in that weird, hippie, bearded way and he has a strong and engaging personality. He may be a long-haired wrestling hippie, but he’s also willing to lie, backstab, and do what he has to in order to win. Might he be a top three contender? We think it’s very possible. Unless his own Jekyll and Hyde switch between Austin and Judas ends up being his downfall.

Austin grew up with four younger siblings, all girls. His parents were hippies who let him stop going to school before eighth grade! Although he was never pushed to study, he was always self-disciplined and got up at 6 AM to read and exercise. It paid off, as he later received a Masters degree in Medieval History and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler. He is known as the wrestler Judas. His looks are deceiving, as he is a flower child who does a yoga stance as opposed to beating down his opponent.
