Board Member
Acting Audit Committee Member
Steven "Steve" Bartlett
The Suburban Sensation who accidentally became wrestling's most reluctant hero.
A mild-mannered suburban father turned financial analyst turned reluctant wrestler, Steve brings refreshing naivety about international money laundering to the CCWAA.
Accidental Wrestling Career
Steve's wrestling career began accidentally in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, when he was mistaken for a luchador named "Lupito" and thrown into a tag-team match with Demonio Azul. After surviving what witnesses called "the most confused wrestling performance in Mexican history," Steve discovered an unexpected passion for gentlemanly grappling.
Notable Wrestling Achievements
- 🏢 Co-founder, Druid Hills Wrestling Revival (199X) - Bringing wrestling to suburban Atlanta
- 😱 Survived the Demonio Azul Incident - Mask permanently fused to head for 3 hours
- 📊 First wrestler to request audit documentation during a match - Revolutionary approach
- 📖 Only CCWAA member to read the actual bylaws - Currently on page 47 of 2,847
- 🏈 Inventor of the "Quarterly Report Quarterback Sneak" - Still pending approval
Ring Names & Identity Crisis
Known in the ring as "The Suburban Sensation" (and briefly as "San Tropat" when his wife bought him the wrong costume), Steve wrestles with the determination of a man who still isn't quite sure how he got here. His wrestling style combines suburban dad reflexes with accountant-level attention to detail.

Professional Background
Financial Analysis Career
In his day job, Steve works as a financial analyst for a mid-tier accounting firm, where his greatest achievement was implementing a new color-coding system for tax folders. His attention to detail and inability to ignore obvious fraud make him uniquely qualified to ask uncomfortable questions at board meetings.
Key Professional Skills
- • Color-coded filing systems
- • Forensic accounting techniques
- • Uncomfortable question formulation
- • Bylaw interpretation (ongoing)
Family Connections
His brother-in-law Paul works for the Treasury Department, a fact that Max McCallahan finds "absolutely fascinating and not at all concerning." This connection has proven both a blessing and a curse in Steve's CCWAA career.
Board Service
Appointed to the Audit Committee after the previous auditor's tragic "fishing accident" (concrete shoes not included), Steve approaches his duties with the enthusiasm of someone who hasn't yet realized what he's gotten himself into.
First Board Action
His first act was requesting actual financial documents, causing three board members to suddenly remember urgent appointments.
"Wait, what did I just sign? Can I see the actual financial documents?"

Personal Life
Steve lives in suburban Atlanta with his wife Betsy and their two children, who remain blissfully unaware that their father now owns six sequined wrestling outfits.
Current Hobbies
- • Trying to understand Les's enthusiasm
- • Attempting to explain wrestling to his wife
- • Wondering if it's too late to take up golf instead
- • Reading CCWAA bylaws (page 47 of 2,847)
