BIO:

The only active wrestler to start his career in the second run of EHW in 1998, The Punisher has enjoyed success in both the squared circle and the octagon. While winning multiple tag titles and US championships is great for nearly all, he, like The Saint, has never reached that elite status in ABW and won the world title.

​

Outside of the MMA world The Punisher is likely best known for his alliance and then feud with Chris Stone in The Corporate Council. After being appointed as Commissioner of ABW in 1999 by the WWA, Punisher started a strategic alliance with MRH.

​

While in the Corporate Council, MRH and the Punisher feuded with The 69ers through most of the late 90's and early 2000's. In 2002 though tensions between the partners came to a head as MRH and Punisher squared off in the last ever Bash At Berdan's under the EHW name, Bash At Berdan's 5: Corporate Takeover.

​

It was at this event where the two would go on wildly different paths. MRH won the world title from the Punisher that night and MRH would have more reigns ahead of him The Punisher has not tasted world title glory since then in a wrestling ring.

​

After ABW's sudden hiatus in 2006, The Punisher moved on to MMA and has since dominated in the Octagon racking up an impressive 37-1 record competing for various organizations in the United States.

 

Punisher is one that can combine solid Greco-Roman wrestling techniques with the shoot fighting of muay thai kickboxers. A champion in the octagon, he brought his prowess to the ABW arena and hopes his success continues onward and upward.
