From Humble Beginnings to a Wrestling Universe
MAT CLASH Wrestling Corp. was born from the vision of blending competition, storytelling, and community into one unique brand. What started as $Bmoney Beastin’ Athletics in August 2022 has since evolved into something much larger. Founded by Jesse Drennen and Quantal Langford, the brand began shaping the Mat Clash Universe in early 2023 with the creation of its very first character — Mat Beast (MB).
The first variation of Mat Beast 'MB'
Originally introduced for promotional purposes, 'MB' became the cornerstone of a growing world of wrestlers, stories, and experiences that reflect the real struggles and triumphs found in the sport.

He has also brought his PIN TN rankings system — Tennessee’s trusted source for high school wrestling rankings — under the Mat Clash umbrella, further strengthening the brand’s commitment to the sport and its community.
