Andy Duke

Andy Duke is a proffesional e-fed wrestler. Currently he wrestles for Extreme Wrestlecrap Threaderation (Which he is currently one half of their Tag Team Champions with Jonathan Doe ),

Beginnings
Andy started his training at the age of 17, when former pro-wrestler and Washington native Greg "The Hammer" Valentine moved to a neighboring city. "The Hammer" was so impressed by Andy, that he recomended that he recieve training elsewhere, as he had learned all he could from "The Hammer". So he went out to seek training from his inspiration and idol, former ROH World and World Tag Champion, Austin Aries. He trained with Austin for about a year, before turning pro.

Beginning
In the fall of 2006, Andy Duke debuted in EWT. He made a quick impact at the EWT PPV "Symphony of Destruction", by being one of the final four remaining participants in a EWT Toolshed title battle-royal. Although he did not win, he impressed then current champion Spyke Johannson. The two, along with Marcus "Stylez" Saxton and current EWT Toolshed Champion Chris Indigo feuded for the toolshed title in a series of hellish matches.

Although neither of the three challengers had been able to beat Spyke yet, neither of the three had been beaten decisively yet. So, as a feud-ender, a Lighttube-C4 deathmatch was announced for the annual "Christmas in Iraq" PPV.

The match was promoted to be absolutley hellish, so in an attempt to prove himself able to withstand such hell, Andy began a series of four vignettes known as his "Journey to Hell". In these vignettes, a lone cameraman(and it is still debated who the cameraman really was) followed Duke around his home-town and surrounding area. He went to his childhood house, now falling into disrepair after the death of his mother in the first vignette. The second vignette followed Duke to a cemetary in his hometown, where one of his childhood friends was buried. The third vignette was the most different of the four, and followed Duke as he was outside of a house that belonged to "The woman he loved"(the identity of this woman is also debated,still. Andy came across as desperate, and almost insane, as his "love" reached near-stalker levels. The fourth and final vignette took place at another cemetary. This time, instead of it being a friend or lover being talked about, it was his own father. To close off not only the vignette, but the whole "Journey to Hell", Andy took a shovel, and destroyed his father's headstone.

An interesting thing about the "Journey to Hell" series is that all four vignettes took place on the same day, with a graphic reading "to be continued..." was shown after each one, except the fourth, which had a graphic reading "The End" after it.

Unfortunatley for Andy, this journey did not help him any in his match, as he was the first one eliminated. He took a short sabbatical after this.

The Cidal Squad
Andy returned a few weeks after the PPV, but something was not quite right. Gone was his typical crowd-appealing babyface actions. In their place was no emotion at all. In his promos, he talked about the coming of someone, or something. At the January PPV, we got our first glimpse of what exactly he was talking about, as the first Cidal Squad hype video played. With each coming week, a new video would play in the EWT arena, and with each video, a new piece of information was revealed. It was revealed that an old face would make his way back to EWT. Finally, in late January, during against Virus, former EWT wrestler Deamon Cohln made his way to the ring with his trusty lighttube. Deamon and Duke stared each other down, before Deamon struck Virus with the lighttube. The two cut a scathing anti-EWT promo, and finished by burning and EWT t-shirt in the ring.

Deamon, now with the moniker of "EWTcidal" and Andy, now with the moniker of "Insecticidal" never really got off the ground as a tag team, due to Deamon's outside bookings, specifically international ones. Deamon asked for his release from the company, and was granted it. Andy, however, wasn't going to let Deamon leave quietly. In February, Andy and Deamon went to the ring for what seemed like a normal promo, but EWT newcomer Jonathan Doe changed that. He came over the barricade, bloodied Deamon, and took his place in the Cidal Squad.

Doe, now going under the moniker of "Sinnericdal", and Duke achieved moderate success in a tag division dominated by Team Ireland. A huge turning point came at the March 4th PPV. Both men were competing in a gauntlet for the Ox Division title. Although both men lost in the match, a huge victory came for them as a stable, as long time EWT main eventer Mike Ragnal joined their ranks, now going by the nickname of "Elementalcidal". At the "Dead Man Walking" event later that month, Mike captured the EWT World Title, giving the Cidal Squad their first taste for gold.

Tag Team Success
The month of April was a rather un-evental month, despite the team of Duke and Doe continuing to rack up the wins, until it was announced that they would be competing for the Tag Team Titles at Crap-a-Mania IV in the TLC Gauntlet. This was by far the biggest match for the team, and they were ready to rise to the occasion. On May 6th, 2007, the two beat the Nyrds by climbing the ladder to retrieve the belts, and became EWT Tag Team Champions. This also gave both Andy and Jonathan their first PPV wins.

The Cidal Squad was plagued by a dying division during the early parts of their reign, and started to draw much criticism for not being fighting champions from many within the division. To solve that problem, the two decided to move their title defenses abroad, and defend their titles once in every continent(except Antartica), thus making the belts World Titles in the process.

But other teams in EWT wanted to step up and challenge for the belts. The Squad's first big defense came against not one but two of these teams at "At a Souless Dawn" in July, as the Squad defended their belts against TJT and the Nyrds in a 3-way TLC match. Despite suffering minor injuries, the two were able to successfully retain their belts.

The PPV also marked the PPV debut of the latest Cidal Squad member, and Andy Duke's real-life girlfriend, Alexa King(who as of yet still does not have an -cidal moniker). She had debuted in EWT the week earlier on their weekly TV show, by attacking TJT valet Terina.

Work Elsewhere
Andy Duke has also has worked for two other companies in the past, KPW, and the now-defunct Ring of Stuff. Both stints were short lived. Duke was starting to make a name for himself in the K-division in KPW, but decided that working EWT, KPW, and ROS at the same time was stretching him thin and hindering his success, so he bowed out of competition in KPW, right before he could bring in the Cidal Squad as was planned. ROS was a different story. Unlike the way he'd been booked in EWT and KPW, he was portrayed as more of a pure athlete in ROS, with no mention of anything -cidal related at all. He stayed around as a semi-active member of ROS until the final Stuff-a-mania, where he lost in a retirement match to Maxx Awesome.
