Eric Scorpio

Eric Scorpio is a Franco-Ontarian pro-wrestler from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada who is employed by Full Metal Wrestling (FMW), Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) and F'n Hardcore Territory (FHT). He is known for his technical prowest and his innovated springboard moves, but unfortunately also for his hard nose tactics in the ring as he feels nor shows any remorse nor respect for his opponent.

Bio
Eric Scorpio loves wrestling, fighting and beer. The origins of this man is still shrouded in mystery however and only certain things are known about him. It is also rumored that his unique fighting style is thanks to non-other than Chris Jericho, but this is still speculative. On occasion, he has been spotted enjoying a frosty beer as well.

But the biggest mystery of all, is of his name. Eric Scorpio is known wrestler of the Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW), Full Metal Wrestling (FMW) and of the F'n Hardcore Territory (FHT), all having the same style of wrestling. The problem is that each wrestler has a different persona and outfit which make it difficult to determine if this is in fact 3 wrestlers in one. The verdict is still out if these 3 men are one in the same.

Early Days
Again due to his mysterious past, most of this speculative. The earliest rumored record was of his involvement in an underground fighting league in Sudbury Ontario (SUFA), under the moniker The Scorpion. This of course ended in controversy.

The earliest known mentioned of Eric Scorpio is in the LOP Hardcore League, where he has won multiple LOP Hardcore Championships and it was here he became one of the founding members of the now cross promotional stable The M.W.A., Madcore Wrestling Alliance. This stable consisted of Eric Scorpio, Homicide, The Rik, Tromboner Man, RaTo, Crazy Ash Killa and The Rik's Horse. During this time, they have also had a major rivalry with The Misfits (Headbanger, Trey Spruance, Edible, T.J. Rage). The MWA were also famous for their love of mischief and for the love of beer.

Lords of Pain Wrestling (formerly Psychotic Wrestling Alliance)
"The Inexplicable" Eric Scorpio joined the PWA in Oct 2006 and began making a splash saying that he is the hand of the Sands of Time, telling people that their time is up and to make sure that it is. He is seen walking around with a 6 pack of beer and an hourglass with a specific persons name written on it. Before his official in ring debut on December 21st, 2006, he teamed up with Crazy Ash Killa and formed the Dark Brotherhood.

The Witnesses
Their first target, the Witnesses. After a couple months, which involved a crucifixion of White Falcon and the abduction and torture of Sick Fixx's love, Cheyenne, they we're granted their first match, a US Tag title match against them. Even though they gave The Witnesses a tough match, they eventually lost, but walked away having laid out The Witnesses and Cheyenne. Wanting revenge on The Witnesses, Schizo GM Stan forces them to earn their title shot in a first contenders Tag Team title match against The Lost Prophets. The match didn't go as planed for the Brotherhood and suffered yet another lost. However during this time a mysterious masked fellow, who became known as Red Cross, began attacking the Dark Brotherhood behind the scene and during televised events. He was revealed as the newest member of the Witnesses. After a heated match between CAK and Red Cross, a little interference from Scorpio produced a victory for his brother. It was also revealed that the following Schizo, Scorpio and Red Cross would have single match with the stipulation that if Scorpio wins, he gets to unmasked Red Cross and reveal The Witnesses mystery man. Winning the match, Scorpio decide to let Red Cross unmask himself in the middle of the ring, revealing him to be Stallion or from now on, Steven Taylor.

White Falcon (The Witnesses Pt.2)
After both he and his partner CAK were snubbed from attending the At All Cost PPV, both men have made it their mission to decimate everyone in their path as a message to management to never be left off again. Scorpio's first opponent since he's rebirth, is the undefeated Bryan Masterson, which he completely decimated with the help of his brother CAK and also throwing yet another attack on Insanity's commentator, Phoenix. After being left off the cards for a few shows, Scorpio took matters in his own hands and beat down White Falcon, after he had just beaten cYnical for the LPW Cleansed Championship. A match was soon announced for the Insanity Annihilation PPV against White Falcon for the Cleansed Title. But before facing Falcon, he would have to team with his brother CAK in a tag team match against the newly formed team of Magic and Hatchet Ryda. After winning that match Scorpio could finally concentrate all his efforts on the Cleansed Champion himself. At Annihilation, Falcon and Scorpio would pull an impressive chain wrestling clinic with multiple pinfalls for both men. However, after the consecutive moonsaults on Scorpio, Falcon would retain his championship belt leaving Scorpio at the losing end of this Light vs Dark feud for the second time since his debut.

Road to the DeathCube
After being absent for the Insanity following Annihilation, Scorpio was booked in a qualifier match for the DeathCube match for the LPW Heavyweight Championship. Scorpio's qualifier opponent would be none other than the veteran, Rabbi. After a hard fought fight, Scorpio managed to subdue the veteran with the Scorpion Stinger and earned himself entry in the DeathCube match at Endgame. The following Insanity, Scorpio would face cYnical, who himself had won his qualifying match, in a single match. After a close fight, Scorpio would remain victorious after executing his Scorpio's Scourge. After the last qualifier of the night was determined, All five men would begin to brawl backstage after a chance encounter only to be laid out by the 6th unknown DeathCube participant, N'itomniskittel. On the final show before Endgame in Tampa Bay, Stanman would announce a huge 6 man tag team match in which would determine the #1 and #6 entry into the DeathCube. Scorpio would be forced to team with Krimson Mask and Bloodrose as they take on the Uprising's cYnical, Stone and Bobino leading to a pin by Bloodrose on Bobino securing his #6 entry into the DeathCube. At the Endgame PPV, Eric Scorpio would enter the DeathCube #2 right after cYnical's #1 start. The match would be end up to be one of the most brutal matches in LPW history for the 6 participants. In the end, there remained Scorpio, Krimson Mask & cYnical, even though Scorpio put up a valiant and surprisingly hard fight to Mask, CAK was forced to throw in the towel for Scorpio after accidentally electrocuting him.

Hunt for the United States Tag Titles
After supposedly taking the next show off, the Dark Brotherhood would decimate the new United States Tag Team champions, the Wild Card Warriors at the end of the shows broadcast signaling their intention for those titles. At the next show, Stanman announced a small tourney for the World Heavyweight Title, involving the last 3 participants of the DeathCube; cYnical, Eric Scorpio and N'itomniskittel. In the first match, Scorpio would face Skittle for the right to move on, however the match was filled with lots of conspiracy, at first his Brother would involve himself on Scorpio's behalf, then the Wild Card Warriors would interfere with Scorpio, nearly costing him the match, until Krimson Mask decided to interfere himself and put Scorpio away as well. At Inferno 12.2, The Dark Brotherhood were suppose to be part of an 8 man inter promotional tag team match, but due to some confusion at the beginning of the match, Scorpio would find himself eliminated within seconds of the opening bell. His bad luck would continue on Insanity LIVE from Minnesota, as one half of the Wild Card Warriors, Magic would pin Scorpio cleanly in the center of the ring. With his brother falling to the other half of WCW, The Dark Brotherhood were on a large losing streak to WCW before their United States Tag Team Title Match at Dead Man's Hand. However come Dead Man's Hand PPV, The Dark Brotherhood would finally get their second shot at the US Tag Team Belts since their very first match in a 2 out of 3 falls match. For the first fall, WCW completely isolated Scorpio and overwhelmed him as WCW successfully got the first fall. However CAK would dominate WCW in a much slower back and forth bout to clinch the second fall for the Brotherhood. After this Scorpio would isolate Hatchet Ryda on the outside while CAK took the battle to Magic in the ring. At the end with Scorpio's help, the Dark Brotherhood would delivers Death's Kiss to finally become the United States Tag Team Champions. However, immediately after the match, Insanity General Manager Stanman made the announcement that at Altered Reality 4, they would face the World Tag Team Champions, the MWA in a Tag Team Title unification match making The Dark Brotherhood, the last United States Tag Team Champions in the LPW regardless of the AR4 outcome.

Up a Ladder, Blood Ties Fall
The biggest show of the year, Altered Reality 4, was finally here, and the only championship match would be the Undisputed Tag Team Championship Ladder Match between Inferno's World Tag Team Champions, The MWA (Tromboner Man & RaTo) and Insanity's United States Tag Team Champions, the Dark Brotherhood (Eric Scorpio & Crazy Ash Killa). After Stanman's announcement, the Dark Brotherhood came to the ring with both of their tag titles completely painted black to signify their now dead titles. Despite the fun loving nature of the MWA, this match was a vicious as they come as all members took dangerous and potentially career ending bumps. However with CAK nearing the belts over the ladder, the ladder would give way, as CAK weigh would simply make the ladder break thus giving the opportunity for the MWA to become LPW's first and new Unified Tag Team Champions.

Despite losing their match and titles, the Dark Brotherhood were not deterred as the next show, LPW's Homecoming, would get a rematch against the MWA in a Dark Brotherhood original match, Escape from Hell, which saw both teams enter a Hell in a Cell ring with a sets of ladders on the roof. The participant would have to grab the ladder's and use them to cross over to another cage which had the Undisputed Tag Team titles dangling from a rope. Despite the monstrous match, the MWA would prevail when Tromboner Man would use his Intonation Buster on Scorpio, knocking him off the ladder and onto CAK as well. With both men in dispose, The MWA would prevail again. Crazy Ash Killa would shake the MWA hands congratulating them on the perseverance. Scorpio however saw this as weakness in CAK's part and proceeded to attack his younger brother. The MWA would come to CAK's defense, chasing Scorpio away from the ring and bringing an end to the Dark Brotherhood and to their brotherly friendship.

The New Beginning; Is the End...?
Despite the beat down and break up of the Dark Brotherhood, on the same show, Eric Scorpio was drafted by Inferno and Crazy Ash Killa remained on Insanity in a league wide redrafting of the rosters, thus separating the two brothers. It wouldn't take too long for Scorpio to make his presence felt on his new brand. At the conclusion of the International Heavyweight match between Drew Michaels and Jeff Watson, Scorpio would beat down Michaels and signify where his interest would now be. At Inferno 10.2, Scorpio would team up with a deranged NPD to take on Drew Michaels and Mass Chaos. Despite putting the champ through his paces the tag would not triumph and instead Drew announced that at the upcoming Honor Roll Supershow, he would put his title in a fatal four way elimination match between himself, Eric Scorpio, NPD and his personal hand picked fourth choice, being Ash Strife, Scorpio's own brother and who had since been trying to redeem himself for his past deeds. Come Honor Roll, the four men stood at each corner and when the bell rang, Ash and Eric would storm towards each other and being to battle it out. Scorpio would get the main advantage really taking it to his brother until, Ash's own demon's, his split personality would emerge and simply over power Scorpio and deliver his Strife Spike to knock his brother out. However, Ash wasn't finished as he would perform yet another Strife Spike and then a third final one from the top rope to the outside steel chairs. This immediately got the EMT's to rush the ring and quickly take Scorpio away from ringside and to a nearby hospital.

If that wasn't enough, on the following Insanity telecast, CAK, Ash's alter ego would play a tape for everyone to see. As Scorpio laid helplessly on a hospital gurney, Ash would kidnap his brother and drag him to the cemetery where both their parents were buried. CAK would use the smelling salt to bring back Scorpio from consciousness, only to quickly slam him shut inside a coffin, tossing it into an open hole and burying the casket as the faint hits from inside the coffin get fainter and fainter. The video would end with the crowd and announcers left speechless, as well as Ash as he simply leaves the ring. The where abouts of the cemetery are unknown to anyone, even Ash, as the location is buried deep within CAK's twisted mind. A small memorial was held on Insanity on Eric Scorpio's behalf.

A Ghost in the Wind...
However months later, as Ash would attempt to win his matches, he would be distracted by Scorpio's old theme entrance music playing. At his Transatlantic championship match, a candle was lit with a note beside it. CAK would read the note and immediately burn it, however this distraction was enough for Rabbi to retain his title. On the following Beanstalk match in the last attempt to get the 6th and final spot for the DeathCube match, with two men left, Hatchet Ryda and Ash Strife, the lights in the arena would go dark only for them to come back on with Ash completely covered in black scorpions. Again this proved enough for Ash to be eliminated. The signs seem to point to Eric Scorpio playing mind games, but without confirmation of his where abouts and the dire predicament he was last in, it could be anyone playing with Ash's mind, which seem to be working for this moment.

At Body Count, during Ash Strife's match against Justus, Black Reaper and Justus attempted to play mind games with Ash by bringing out a huge black scorpion. However the move only infuriated Ash, which he grabbed hold of the Scorpions glass aquarium and smashed it across Justus' face for the easy victory. On the following Insanity LIVE, Ash would face The Rabbi and Pope Fred for the Transatlantic Championship, near the end of the match both Rabbi and Pope Fred had Ash subdued until a loud thunder strike with a large symbol of a scorpion flashed across the screen. At that moment, Ash's alter-ego CAK powered his way out of the hold and quickly secured a victory and winning his first singles championship. As the announcers were pondering the meaning of yet another scorpion apparition, Insanity superstar X would make his way out and reveal this to be his plan all along, to let CAK loose and for him to join his side.

A Tale's End; A Hobo's Journey
Meanwhile, a dirty starving hobo named Boxcar Danny would show up backstage on Inferno prompting an encounter with Inferno General Manager, D. Hammond Samuels as the hobo was rummaging backstage through the freshly delivered catered food. Whether he felt compassion or simply a way to take advantage of him, Mr. Samuels would offer Boxcar a job as a wrestler. For his first match, he was to face his opposite, a man clearly having too much food, Big B. Brown. Despite the overwhelming size of of Big B. Brown, Boxcar would pull of his first victory. After this time however, Boxcar would take a trip to Insanity, where after a Ash Strife match, he would be chased out of the crowd by the Transatlantic Champion. On the next Inferno, Little Red would take over the GM duties and start the LPW Idol Tourney for the vacant Television Title. Boxcar Danny would face new comer Jack Eastwood in the 5th and final matchup and shocked the impressive new rookie with a Back Slide for the win and to advance to Capital Punishment in the LPW Idol Television Championship Match.

At LPW All-Stars, the feds annual Awards Show, near the end of the The Watchmen vs Ash Strife Casket Match, CAK had managed to incapacitate both tag team champions, however as he opened the casket's lid and was picking both Watchmen from the ground, Boxcar Danny sat up from the coffin and attacked the behemoth. After a small scuffle, CAK managed to grab hold of Boxcar Danny's long dreads and pull off the unsuspecting wig. To CAK's horror and to the shock of everyone else in the arena, with the wig removed, Boxcar Danny was clearly CAK older brother, Eric Scorpio. Scorpio would assault the dazed CAK and strike him across the face with a steel shovel, shoving the large man into the coffin and costing him the match. It wouldn't be too long before CAK broke through the coffin and a huge brawl between the two would ensue, only to be broken apart by the backstage trainers leaving Scorpio in the ring with his maniacal grin and his entrance music to signal to everyone his return to LPW.

Cycle 2
Drafted 26th overall in the brand split during FMW's second cycle as a surprised rookie pick for the Anarchy brand, he quickly begin shouting that his return to glory was going to be aided as the sins of the wrestlers were purged by his own hands. His first match, was in a triple threat match with Travis James and the infamous John Derrick. Scorpio had Travis James in his finisher, however before Travis would give up, Derrick manage to regain his senses and nail Scorpio with his finisher to win the match. Even though he did end up losing his first match to the experienced John Derrick, an opportunity arose soon after when Homicide, member of the MWA, needed a partner, after James McDaygo was hospitalized, for his tag team title match at the Lethal Injection PPV against the Tag champions, the SoCal Connection. After watching, and assisting, Homicide win against Korran Halycon at Anarchy 2.3, Scorpio agreed to join up with him to take on the tag titles at Lethal Injection. and a match was quickly scheduled for Scorpio to face Korran's partner, The Sublime. After a win over The Sublime at Anarchy 2.4, Scorpio with his partner now head to the Lethal Injection PPV against the SoCal Connection for the Tag Team title belts in a Unlucky 13 match where he came up short when the final card was simultaneously stapled to Scorpio's and Saint's head.

Cycle 3
Scorpio was then traded to Alchemy shortly after the match and was quickly booked in a 6 man over the top battle royale for the #30 entry into the Mt. Vesuvius at Circus Maximus and emerged victorious in a very close finish between him and Hostyle. At the Circus Maximus PPV, he entered number 30th as planned and viciously eliminated The Prince of Pretty. After apparently injuring Dalby Sound in his Scorpion Stinger finisher, Scorpio showed a look of concern and was then promptly eliminated by a faking Dalby Sound. On the next telecast, Scorpio ran in to stop the brutal assault that Hostyle was doing to his former partner, setting up a match against each other. At the match Scorpio blatantly ignored the referees 5 count as he had refused to end his Sinful Repentance finisher on Hostyle prompting him to be disqualified. Because of this, at the Ground Zero PPV, a grudge match was signed to settle the differences between the two men in an "I Quit" match in which Eric Scorpio was forced to utter the words "I Quit".

Cycle 4
On Alchemy 4.1 Scorpio would face up and comer, Neutron Star. After winning the match, Neutron Star quickly locks in Scorpio's own finisher, the Sinful Repentance, on Scorpio. Scorpio however refused to tap, especially on the heels of his match with Hostyle. Next up, Scorpio would face Syanide, Peter Saint and C.G. Smitten in a Sinner and Saints match for the FMW Television Title. Scorpio was eliminated first after being hit consecutively by Syanide and Smitten's own finisher. At the end of the match with Peter Saint hanging from the noose, Scorpio quickly saved him from this dire predicament. In an about face move, Scorpio quickly lays out Saint himself and lays in the Sinful Repentance on Saint forcing him to eventually vomit blood from the pain. Scorpio would then face James McDaygo, Peter Saint's old tag partner, in a Gold Card Gauntlet Entry, Ultraviolent Rules match. During this hellish match, Peter Saint would interfere hoping for aid from McDaygo to beat down Scorpio, only to have McDaygo turn the table and laying out Saint. At this point, McDaygo and Scorpio had united to become the Dark Brotherhood. At Anarchy 4.4, The Dark Brotherhood had formed a business association with G.M. Dreamkiller and became part of his Team Dream. His first order of business was to dispose of Alchemy's own Guybrush Threepwood, in another Ultraviolent match. During the match, Scorpio applied the Sinful Repentance on Threepwood and made him tap out and accomplish his task. This would all culminate at the Ultimatum PPV, in a 6 men Gold Card Gauntlet Match for a chance at the FMW Heavyweight Championship. At the PPV, Scorpio would enter the gauntlet match third facing Diabolical only for him to triumph over Scorpio. As Scorpio made his way out in defeat, he runs into the fourth man in the match, Peter Saint. After a small altercation, Scorpio would beat down Saint on the entrance ramp up to the point of driving him through the Ultimatum stage set before walking off. At the end of Ultimatum, the Dark Brotherhood would make a major impact, joining numerous others in a new faction call, Original Sin

. This faction would beat down the newly crowned Heavyweight Champion Drew Micheals, his partner Nick Bryson and Alex O'Rion and crucifying these men signaling a new beginning to this new dark stable.

Cycle 5
At Anarchy 5.1, living his new life as part of Original Sin, Scorpio would fly to New York City and after the constant brutality of Peter Saint, they would face each other, one on one, in a first time ever, Hudson River Match. Scorpio would eventually lose the match, but his after matched tactics will garner some controversy. Scorpio would grab a hold of Saint and actually drown him in the river. The medics later brought him back to life after a couple of minutes. At Anarchy 5.2, X and Eric Scorpio would team up for the very first time to take on the Full Metal Wrestling Champ, Drew Michaels and FMW Television Champ, Wickedness, in tag match where who ever pins one of the champions, they would win that title. After X and Scorpio attacked each other due to both superstars wanting to the win the belt, Drew rolled up X for the win. At Anarchy 5.3, Scorpio would confront Michaels again, but this time one on one for the FMW World Championship Belt. Earlier that night, Jaro and Nick Bryson would become co-champions of the FMW Ultraviolent Championship. During the Michaels/Scorpio main event, Jaro would interfere in the match, as lesson to Bryson, by causing Eric Scorpio to win the match and becoming the new Full Metal Wrestling World Champion. At Anarchy 5.4, during the opening segment, Scorpio would severe the ties with James McDaygo and severely injuring him as a message to anyone who doubted Scorpio championship win as merely a fluke. Later on, in the main event, accompanied by newly signed Crazy Ash Killa, he would fight the other half of SPARTA; Nick Bryson. Despite having his brother in his corner, Bryson would come up with a surprise win on the champion casting further doubt upon the champion's win as a fluke. Even bothered by this, Eric Scorpio's title win over Michaels was being called a fluke more than ever now. Determined to break this perception, Eric Scorpio would defend his FMW Heavyweight Belt at the Death Row PPV versus either Alex O'Rion or former champion Drew Michaels, as they fight earlier that night in an "I Quit" match prior to the main event to determine the challenger. After Michaels win over O'Rion, the resistance would lay out every single member of Original Sin to ensure that Scorpio match against Michaels would be one on one with no interference. After a long battle, despite no outside interference, Eric Scorpio would pin Drew Michaels and retain his FMW Heavyweight Title.

Cycle 6
After his win at Death Row, Eric Scorpio would begin to strut around the league with his FMW Heavyweight Title. First stop was Alchemy 6.1 where he would team up with Dante Jones in the Main Event and take on the team of Alex O'Rion and Nick Rijkaard. Despite a valiant effort by these two Alchemy Resistance members, Original Sin would come out on top. After hearing about John 'Doc' Derrick's efforts on Anxiety about his quest for a shot at the Heavyweight Title, Scorpio would show up at Anxiety 6.2 during the main event match between John and Mortus. After interference by Ethan Black, John Derrick was well on his way to be electrocuted, if it weren't for the interference by Eric Scorpio. Feeling divine in his ability to save John's life, Eric Scorpio would grant the man a shot at his Heavyweight title at Supremacy. At Anxiety 6.3, Scorpio along with his brother CAK were scheduled in the main event against two other Resistance members, Skyler Striker

and his old nemesis Peter Saint. Despite a strong effort, Scorpio again would lose to his rival. But to make matters worst, John Derrick would show up to the ring. Surrounded by 3 men, Scorpio would try to negotiate his way out of this predicament only to have himself laid out by all three men to end the Anxiety broadcast before Supremacy. At Supremacy, John Derrick and Scorpio would finally face for the Heavyweight Title in one of the most brutal singles matches in a long time. However after suffering a third submission finisher from Doc, Scorpio was finally forced to tap out, losing his Heavyweight title in the progress. However undeterred, Scorpio was determined to make John Derrick pay at Lethal Injection in the 5 on 5 elimination match they were in. Despite eliminating Nick Bryson and delivering a few steel chair shots to Derrick, Derrick would get the last laugh as he would hit Scorpio with the same chair from behind prompting Drew Michaels to get the pin to eliminate Scorpio, the 3rd Original Sin member, from the match and giving The Resistance the overall win for the night prompting the end of Original Sin as a faction in the FMW.

Cycle 7
After Lethal Injection, a new draft was made, and being picked 8th overall, Scorpio remained as a member of Anarchy. However with new general manager Celeste around, for her amusement, she would schedule a match forcing the Dark Brotherhood to face each other in a Mt. Vesuvius Qualifying Match. Despite being close brothers, they would show the FMW that regardless of their blood connection they would fight each other ferociously. The match itself was quite brutal leading to a pinfall victory for Scorpio, however it is the after match that would end up being the highlight, when both men would continue fighting until a brutal spot would leave them both unconscious and escort out of the arena on a stretcher. However despite the brutality, both men would end up fighting each other again in the monstrous Mt. Vesuvius match at Circus Maximus. Scorpio would enter the match at #19, he would quickly eliminate The Celt from the cage, however, once Ash Strife entered the match, both men would end up clinging to the cage fighting each other in mid-air. When Strife got eliminated, Scorpio remained distracted by laughing at his younger brother only for Matt Dunn to take the quick opportunity and eliminated him from the match. At the following Anarchy, the pieces were laid down for the upcoming Catalyst PPV. The heavyweight title match was to be defended by the new heavyweight champion Christian G. Smitten and the former champ John "Doc" Derrick and a mysterious third man voted in by the fans. They had to choose between Skyler Striker, Nick Bryson and Eric Scorpio. Scorpio, not loved by any, would have a difficult time trying to get the fans to vote for him, appealed to their intelligence by stating he deserved a shot as he had not been given the customary rematch for his title and that he had unfinished business with the former champion as well. Scorpio had one final chance to sway their votes as Celeste would make Scorpio fight his last FMW ally, the current Heavyweight Champion, Christian G. Smitten. Despite a quick a brutal match, the champion would get the upper hand on Scorpio outside of the ring and Scorpio ended up being counted-out. At the end of the show, the votes were tallied, but Scorpio would finish last in votes and at Catalyst, would face the man who had the 2nd most, Skyler Striker, who he had just also lost his Abandoned Championship title.

News had been rampant for days as rumors had been circulating that this could be Eric Scorpio final match at FMW. The match between Skyler and himself was a strong back and forth bout with many nearfall, unfortunate for Skyler, Scorpio managed to get the victory by pinning him to the mat. As Scorpio made his way to the back, the fans would actually cheer Eric's name thanking him for his years of wrestling with the possibility of this being his final match, despite the ruthlessness of the Scorpio's historical nature in that very ring nor the fact that the retirement is official.

Cycle 8
With words of a retirement speech planned for Anarchy 8.1, the crowd was in anticipation for what Eric Scorpio was going to say. However, a new man Devinshire would emerge and announce that he had canceled the aforementioned planned announcement. This would of course not sit to well with Scorpio as he would confront Devinshire on the following 8.2 broadcast and demand and explanation. However this would again no go well, as security was brought in to subdue Scorpio and Devinshire would proceed to repeatedly tazer Scorpio in front of the live audience and dragged out unconsciously. Due to his actions, Scorpio would be back at the end of Anarchy 8.3, and strike down the leader and challenger to the FMW Heavyweight Title, Alex O'Rion and shockingly announce his in ring return as part of the "face" Team Bryson at No Holds Barred. Scorpio's reasons to join the face team is still remain unknown. At No Holds Barred, Scorpio would again make another huge announcement as he interrupted the acceptance speech of the newly appointed Superstar of the Year, Christian G. Smitten. Both men agreed to face each other at Ultimatum II for their respective rematch clauses for the FMW Full Metal Championship, which lead to Scorpio striking down Smitten and then both men being subdued by security. Later that night, Scorpio would be in the 10 Men Tag Team Elimination match where after a long fight would finally submit to Hostyle in another one of his innovative maneuvers making Hostyle one of his most troublesome opponent ever in the FMW.

However come Ultimatum II, it was strictly business between the two former Team Dream and Original Sin members. Both men were forfeiting their rematch clauses for the Full Metal Championship in favor of of being the sole #1 contender to that title. Despite a heavily technical and tough bout for both men, with numerous near falls, Smitten would pin Scorpio after executing his finisher for a second time immediately after Scorpio kicked out of the first attempt. After Ultimatum II, FMW made the huge announcement of removing the Anarchy and Alchemy brands from FMW and instead replace it with 4 new divisions, one being Ammunition, home of the C-4 Championship and now the new home of Eric Scorpio.

Cycle 9
After the apparent death of the current C-4 Champion, Drew Michaels at Ultimatum, Celeste would strip him of his reign and announced at Ammunition 9.1 a 4 man tournament to determine the new champion. The four men chosen were the three fan favorites in Chris Austin, Chris Kelson and Leon Caprice. The fourth man being Eric Scorpio, who would fight later that night in the Main Event semifinal round against Chris Kelson. The first match up had Chris Austin win against Leon Caprice to move to the finals, one step closer for an all Innovated Inniative Finals. However, despite a valiant effort by Chris Kelson, Scorpio would simply be too much for him and getting pinned, allowing Eric Scorpio to go to the C-4 Championship finals against Chris Austin at Ammunition 9.2; a man who is very similar to Scorpio in many respects, but thought very well from Hostyle as well. The C-4 Championship match was long and brutal as expected, with both superstars hitting massive moves on each other getting plenty of nearfalls, however with both rope breaks used up by Austin and Scorpio, Scorpio hit the Scorpio's Scourge on Austin for the 3 count, despite Austin having his leg on the ropes which he had already used his one rope break and giving Eric Scorpio his first C-4 Division Title. After the match, all three members of Danse Macabre would join Scorpio in the ring to congratulate him for the win, only to begin giving Austin a huge beat down. Austin's fellow II member, Chris Kelson, soon ran to the ring to disperse the assault. At 9.3, Scorpio took the night off from in-ring competition, but he was also interviewed by non other than Son of Repoman, at the end of the interview, he offered Harlequin, a member of HavOc who was in competition on Ammunition, a small partnership. He would also make Chris Kelson and Chris Austin a proposal for either men to challenge him for his new C-4 title at Death Row. After the main event of the night, Scorpio would join Harlequin in beating down on Chris Austin in the ring until Chris Kelson would come and be the sole man to accept Scorpio's challenge and then attempted the break-up of the assault. With Harlequin and Scorpio seemingly successful, a man who was announced as deceased at the beginning of the show, Drew Michaels, appeared to break-up the assault. This would prompt a huge main event at 9.4 between the team of Eric Scorpio, Harlequin and Christian G. Smitten against the team of Chris Kelson, Chris Austin and Drew Michaels. During the match we would see Kelson, Harlequin, Austin and Smitten get eliminated, leaving Drew Michaels and Eric Scorpio in an all to familiar situation. After a long battle between the two men, a small distraction by Michaels was all that was needed for Scorpio to pick up the win and remain the last man standing.

F'n Hardcore Territory
Joined the FHT after the split of the MWA in the LOP Hardcore League. Was originally known as "Drunken" E. Scorpio due to his constant depression and alcohol induced state. After losing his first match in a Hardcore Title, 30 minute Battle Royale, he is given another match against the new FHT Hardcore Champion James McDaygo. Unfortunately, numerous interference by McDaygo's manager Scott Hall, Eric Scorpio suffers another defeat, but to rub salt into the wound, they both decide to give him a serious beat down causing him to miss a month of in ring action due to injuries. After returning and squashing Extreme Mayhem in a match, he has made it clear that he will take the belt from McDaygo and that he is to be known as Eric Scorpio from now on, revealing his old LOP Hardcore roots.

Demanding a title match against James McDaygo, GM Keith Williams informs him that he'll have to earn it in a First Contenders, Triple Threat Match against Extreme Mayhem and McDaygo's manager, Scott Hall, with McDaygo being the special guest referee. Despite the numerous failed pins thanks to McDaygo, Scorpio managed to win the match by pinning McDaygo's own manager. Winning the match, Scorpio now faced McDaygo in a Hardcore Steel Cage match winning the FHT Hardcore Championship nearly crippling himself and McDaygo from a high risk move. Suffice to say, Scorpio is now champion, and he can put McDaygo behind him, for now.

After this feud, Scorpio was dragged into the existing FHT/ELITE feud after LBM pinned Scorpio in an impromptu match, after a severe beat down with the help of Dark Angel, to capture the FHT Hardcore title. It was announce soon after that LBM would face Eric Scorpio and James McDaygo in a triple threat hardcore match for the FHT Hardcore Title. After a brutal match, Scorpio scored a quick roll-up for the win and to regain the FHT Hardcore Title. A rematch was scheduled at the following Superstar, where Scorpio demanded that the one one with LBM be with no interference. However during the match, Keith Williams came to ringside and instructed the referee to give Scorpio the immediate win when he rolled LBM into a submission. After this contraversial finish, Scorpio was scheduled for a 6 man tag match, ELITE vs FHT at ELITE Evolution where FHT took a lost as Scorpio was entering the ring but to slow to break up the pin.

At the FHT vs ELITE; Hell Freezes Over PPV, Scorpio was scheduled for FHT Hardcore Title Match vs LBM. But before this was too happen, Scorpio assisted a failing The Peep's Show against NIN Horror, which led to the Peep's Show turning his back on Scorpio and NIN Horror curbs stomping Scorpio and breaking his jaw. Afterwards, James McDaygo made his retirement speech, which led to Scorpio coming back out and beating him down with the assistance of a former ally in Crazy Ash Killa. After being bandaged up backstage, the FHT Hardcore Champion faced off against LBM which after a gory Hardcore match, lead to Scorpio being Superkicked off of a 30 foot Titantron onto the steel ramp below and losing his Championship to LBM.

After spending a few weeks of recovery, Scorpio would face The Peep's Champ in a match that NIN Horror would interfere causing a No contest ruling by the referee. After a brawl backstage between Scorpio, NIN Horror and The Peep's Champ, FHT general Manager Keith Williams would schedule a series of handicap matches between each other. In the first match, Scorpio would team with The Peep's Champ against NIN Horror in a spectacular match that ended with NIN Horror coming out on top. The second match would force The Peep's Champ to tag with NIN Horror against Scorpio, where Scorpio came out on top after The Peep's Champ used The Start on NIN Horror. In the last match of the series, Scorpio would team up with NIN Horror to take The Peep's Champ only to have The Peep's Champ get himself disqualified after striking his opponents with a steel chair. After this match, the three men were scheduled for a triple threat match for the ELITE Daredevil Title at FHT vs ELITE; Sin & Sacrifice PPV. The end saw NIN Horror retain his title after pinning The Peep's Champ. After the match, NIN Horror would lay into Scorpio, severely injuring him for months.

At the FHT vs ELITE; Imperium PPV, Scorpio would make his return in the middle of a match between Crazy Ash Killa and Headbanger when Trey Spruance would interfere with the match. After a win by CAK, He would name Eric Scorpio his new tag team partner and one half of the FHT Tag Team Champions, named not after the Dark Brotherhood, but from their early beginnings; the M.W.A. After having a special match versus the LPW World Tag Team Champions, Tromboner Man and RaTo, the M.W.A. would face off against Soul Reaper and "Sick" Nick in a lethal lottery match for the FHT Tag Titles only to lose them at the end of the match.

Eric Scorpio has officially retired from the FHT ring in the beginning of 2008, however on occasion he has made a couple of one night appearances to help out his brother Ash Strife when he is in need of help.
