Benjamin "Ben" Webb (born August 21, 1981) is a British professional wrestler, currently working for various independent companies in Europe and occasionally the United States under the ring name Trent Seven. Seven and Tyler Bate form the tag team "Moustache Mountain" who collectively have won the Progress Tag Team Championship in the UK and the Chikara Campeonatos de Parejas in the United States. He is the current ICW World Heavyweight Champion. Seven, Bate and Pete Dunne collectively form "British Strong Style".
As a child, Webb aspired to be an actor until he watched WrestleMania, which made him want to become a wrestler. As a teenager, Webb and several of his friends would often wrestle each other in their backyards. In 2008 he decided to train for a career professional wrestling, going so far as to buying his own wrestling ring to properly train. It would not be until 2010 that he made his in ring debut, adopting the ring name "Trent Seven" for his debut on an Alternative Wrestling World show in Birmingham in 2010. In the subsequent years he would wrestle part time, splitting his time between wrestling and a day job.
In 2011 and in 2012, Seven traveled to the United States to wrestle for Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), losing on both occasions. He also traveled to Japan in 2012, working three shows for Big Japan Pro Wrestling, including a show at Korakuen Hall.
Despite being a "Part timer", Seven was granted a match for the Ring of Honor World Championship during ROH's 2011 tour of the United Kingdom. Seven lost to defending champion Davey Richards on July 15, 2011 on a show promoted by Fight Club Pro (FCP). At some point in 2011 Seven became the first holder of the FCP Championship, holding it until November 25 where he lost the title to Eddie Edwards. In 2013 he won FCP's annual "Infinity Trophy Tournament" when he defeated Mark Haskins in the finals. During an FCP show on February 5, 2016 Trent Seven unsuccessfully challenged Trevor Lee for the TNA X-Division Championship. On January 7, 2017 Moustache Mountain (Seven and Tyler Bate) teamed up with Joel Allen to defeat #CCK (Chris Brookes and Kid Lykos) and Shay Purser, with the win Allen became the the Attack! 24:7 Championship, only for Allen to lose it the same night.
