Kyle Kross

Kyle Kross
Kyle Kross (born January 25th, 1987) is currently signed to the Universal Wrestling Federation on its Underground brand as a main event babyface. Kyle is the first ever UWF Hybrid World Champion and ever since debuting has been in the main event of every UWF show he has wrestled on. Kross is currently out of action with damaged collarbone and is also nursing various injuries picked up whilst in action that had no time to heal.

Life before UWF
Kyle was born to parents Michael and Jannett Kross on January 25th, 1987. He was born and raised in Wickford, England, where he still lives. Kross was an only child. At age four, in 1991, Kyle's mother was in a car crash and taken to hospital. She remained in critical condition for almost a whole year. Miraculously, after nine months in a coma with varying levels of stability, Jannett recovered and returned home.

Kyle's obsession with professional wrestling began at an early stage when he was only four years old. Kross apparently caught a WWF event on television with his father one night and became hooked. His favourite wrestler was Shawn Michaels, who Kyle claimed "set the standard for everything I do in the ring". Kross began trained to become a professional wrestler at the age of thirteen, exceptionally early, under the eye of a small British training school. Kross continued his training for three years before beginning his career on the UK Independent scene. He soon met up with friend for life Cozzy X. The two teamed together on the independent soon for several years before Kyle was signed by the UWF in early January 2009. There is rumour that Kross supposedly signed his contract on his birthday, very late considering when he first appeared.

Debut - One Way Road
Kyle made his television debut for the Universal Wrestling Federation on the 16th February, 2009, in a Battle Royal match for the UWF Hybrid World championship, the organization's top title, on the inaugural episode of Monday Night Underground. Kross won the match by last eliminating Tommy Vice, the only man he actually threw out. It was revealed shortly afterwards that The Bull, wrestling legend and UWF co-general manager, had taken Kross under his wing to train him. The next week, Vice and Kross met in a no disqaulifications match which Vice won. Mr. West attacked them after the match. At the first UWF Pay Per View, One Way Road, Kyle defended his UWF title in a triple threat match with West and Vice. On the show's undercard, Shawn Kennedy won a Brawl for it All match to become the new number one contender.

One Way Road - WrestleFest
After One Way Road, Mr. West and Kyle Kross were scheduled to face Tommy Vice and Shawn Kennedy in the main event of Underground. Kross formed an alliance with West prior to the match, hoping he could rely on West, and effectively turned Mr. West face (the two would later form a tag team together). The duo defeated Shawn Kennedy and Tommy Vice in the match but were then attacked by chairman Dean James afterwards, forming the Termination X faction between Kennedy, Vice and James.

The next week on Underground, a huge twist was revealed in that Traci Martinez, UWF backstage interviewer, had been cheating on boyfriend The Bull with Bull's mentor Kyle Kross, between his back. Bull and Kross were scheduled to team together and face Dean James and Shawn Kennedy in the show's main event. The Bull refused to tag Kyle in during that match, having previously learned of the affair and slapped Kyle across the face. When finally offering a tag, Kross walked out of the match, leaving the Bull to be pinned and hinting a heel turn. Next week, Shawn Kennedy and Kyle Kross had a contract signing for their WrestleFest title match, where Kennedy and Dean James assaulted Kyle Kross. At WrestleFest that Sunday, Kyle Kross defeated Shawn Kennedy in a match regarded as a match of the year candidate by many. Also at WrestleFest, Dean James announced The Bull was leaving the UWF to pursue a career in Hollywood (this was an on-screen cover story for Bull being released) and Tommy Vice won the Stairway to Heaven match to guarantee him a title shot whenever he wanted it over the next year.

WrestleFest - Seven Deadly Sins
The Underground after WrestleFest, Kyle Kross defeated rival Tommy Vice in a falls count anywhere match. The next week, Kyle Kross was allowed to pick any partner he wanted from the UWF roster to team with him against Tommy Vice and Shawn Kennedy. He chose Def Crossfade, but the two lost the match after interference from chairman Dean James.
