Biography
Goeie dag! I am Cornelius Vlooi, the son of the wrestler from The Flea and the Wrestler. I come a long line of wrestlers. Unfortunately, we've had problems with fleas. We have always sought the assistance of Sir Herakles, but alas, he's never able to help us with the fleas.

I have done my family well by joining the wrestling team. I love wearing the wrestling uniform even when I'm out of the ring. I think it adds pizzazz to my appearance. I often play-fight with my guy friends. People sometimes act surprised when they hear how good I am at wrestling. It's because society expects wrestlers to be massive meat walls. Luckily I can prove them otherwise.

I'm very close with Palesa Koumongoe and her boyfriend Soren Trommler. Palesa is a fellow South African. Her mum's cousin helps train me. I enjoy taking part in competitions. Palesa and Soren are always there to cheer me on.

If I can wrestle bigger opponents, I definitely can handle a flea. Still, I want to stay out of that Royals vs. Rebels conflict. It really stresses everyone out. We should all try to keep a positive face.
