–Seth Coleman Wade is an American Professional wrestler. He is better known by his ring name Seth Cruise. He wrestles for many promotions in the southeast U.S. mainly in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. He adopted the name Cruise due to his likeness to famous American actor Tom Cruise. Cruise has held nine tag team titles with three different partners. He has also held seven lightweight titles, and was the OCWA heavyweight champion from December 2006-March 2007. Using his Irish acestory as a charactor he is often heckled by fans with chants of "Leperchaun" or "Lucky Charms."

–Early Life and Carrer– Seth Wade was born to Howell and Vivian Wade on March 1, 1982 in Rome, GA. He was raised in the small town of Euharlee in Bartow County, GA. As a youngster he became fixated with pro wrestling which continued through his adolecent years. He was a accomplished high school wrestler for Woodland High School in Cartersville, GA. He qualified for the state wrestling tournament his junior and senior year, and won the county title three years straight. During his high school years he would watch many independent wrestling events and would volunteer to help put up and take down rings to get free admission.

Upon graduating high school in May 2001 he began training at the Southern States Outlaw Wrestling School located at the Travelodge ballroom in Cassville, GA. He was trained along with Michael Cross, referee Spanky Emerson, and A.J. Waldron by C.C. Develine and "The Freak" Terry Dean Christian. After months of training Cruise became a regular for SSOW at first teaming with fellow trainee and childhood friend Michael Cross. He would continually work for SSOW until it folded in late 2002.

–Cross and Cruise– Seth Cruise and Michael Cross meet in third grade when Cross became a new student at Mission Road Elementary. The two stayed close friends throughout their schooling despite going to different high schools. The two as a tag team have been called "The Pure Playaz," "Georgia Boys" (while wrestling in Alabama),"That 80's Tag Team" (impersinating many famous tag teams of the 1980's), and were members of "The Firm" led by their manager "The Associate." Together Cross and Cruise have won seven tag team titles. Though they are known for being a great tag team they have also fought each other on numerous occasions and have had falling outs as a team which have led to many fueds against each other.

–Style– Although small in stature (5'7, 215 lbs.) Cruise is not a high flyer. He relies more on a mat based attack using his amature background to out manuver bigger opponents and slow down faster opponents. Some of his best weapons are quite basic moves such as the fireman's carry, sweep single, and front chance. Though he does on occasions use a flying cross body off the top as a finisher, he mostly catches opponents off guard with many roll-ups to secure a pinfall. He has also used the Fujiwara armbar as a submission finish in the past.

Cruise has wrestled against some of the top known wrestlers of the past 30 years. He had a tough showing in a losing effort against fromer NWA World Heavyweight champion "Wildfire" Tommy Rich in 2004.
