David Smith

David Gideon Smith is an American-born professional wrestler currently under contract with the Extreme Wrestling Alliance (EWA) and the World Wrestling Xistence (WWX), where he is known as David GS and is the reigning International Champion.

Underground Circuit
David Smith, along with his brother, Steven, both became involved in wrestling at a very young age, both signing on with the Southern Variety Rasslin' (SVR) on Smith's sixteenth birthday in order to support their family. It was here that the newly-named 'Hardcore Brothers' made a name for themselves, quickly gaining prominence as two of the American Underground Circuit's most accomplished Hardcore Wrestlers. Smith in particular became notorious for his profieciency in the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match, defeating six seperate competitors in six seperate matches during his SVR tenure. It wasn't until January of 2009, when David was approached by the WWX, that he signed with a major promotion.

Early Weeks
Smith debuted under the ring name 'David GS' on February 18th, 2009, pinning a local competitor during an episode of eXcess. The next day, DGS made his Friday Night Fury debut by defeating IWA Veteran BB King and legitimately injuring his shoulder. Later on that same night, DGS worsened the injury by Spearing Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson during a match between Johnson and '''Chi Lyme Pai. The assault led to a singles match between Smith and Johnson at Wreckage''', where The Rock pinned DGS off of the Hollywood Elbow.

The AAA Champion
At WWX's February Pay-Per-View, Aftershock, DGS took advantage of the Triple A Championship's 'Anytime, Anyplace, Anyhow' stipulation to pin then-champion '''Axel Van Roth. Immediately afterword, he and his brother, Steven PS, were assaulted by Damnatu'''. After engaging in a war of words, DGS, SPS, and Damnatu met in a No-Disqualification Triple Threat match for the Championship, which DGS won by countout.

After pinning SPS in his Ravage Debut, DGS was entered into the Television Title Tournament, which would culminate at Armada. David advanced to the finals by winning a Triple Threat Match against Damnatu and The Sorrow, and used his AAA Championship to determine the stipulations of his title match with the TV Champion, Darkness. Their match at Armada was disrupted by James Ranger, who used his TV Title rematch clause to enter himself into the match and make it a two-fall match. Ranger earned the TV Championship by pinning DGS off of the Hooked Fang, and DGS managed to retain the AAA Championship by pinning Darkness off of the Concussor.

DGS then entered a brief feud with JT Steel over the AAA Championship, which was cut short after Steel was spontaneously arrested before a TLC Match on the 4/10/09 episode of Fury. During this show, DGS ignited a rivalry between himself and the newcomer PJ Fouts, who defeated him in a non-title match on Rage. Fouts went on to steal the AAA Title from DGS on the next week's Fury, prompting DGS to take some time off for self-reflection.

Comeback and Push
David GS made his comeback against Randy Brown, who defeated him after Damnatu interfered on DGS's behalf. He then went on to aid Tommy Lipton in a handicap match against James Knight and The Lost Soul, pinning Soul for the win.

On the May 13th edition of Ravage--one day before his birthday, in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska--David defeated Scott Grayse to become a 2-time AAA Champion. After pinning Grayse, DGS also repelled an attempted title theft by former Women's Champion Mackenzie Kilala McCloud, only to lose the title to her on the next edition of Wreckage. The feud culminated at Bloodshed, where DGS outlasted then-champion McCloud, eZaci, AJ Kool, Adora Cruz, and Steven PS to win back the AAA Title in a 6-Man TLC Match.

Days later, DGS was assaulted by Corporal Sanders and Axel Van Roth after a tag team match, reigniting his feud with the latter. The two men verbally assaulted each other until Outrage, where Van Roth defeated DGS in a 3 Stages of Hell Match to win the AAA Championship. This was the first in a six-match losing streak for DGS, during which he deliberately forsook victories for opportunities to assault the then-World Champion, Corporal Sanders, as well as a brutal Last Man Standing Match against the Lost Soul.

DGS received a major push at World Series, where he pinned Tommy Lipton for the WWX International Championship and Rick Dreamie for the WWX World Wrestling Championship. He lasted until the Final Two, where he was pinned by Randy Brown for both titles. Brown, however, in an act of good faith, rewarded DGS with the International Championship, allowing DGS to rack up three major title reigns in the space of a single night.

International Champion
On the Fury after World Series, DGS won his first title defense by forfeit when the challenger, Kyle 'Powerman' Rogers, failed to attend the match.
