Dimitri

Dimitri (born March 22, 1977 in Vladivostok, Russia) is a Russian-Armenian professional wrestler currently residing in the United States and working for Pro Wrestling Warriors.

Dimitri was extensively trained in various martial arts in Japan at a young age, before joining the military. After leaving, he made his way to Chicago, and participated in street fights to make money, and was spotted by a GWF talent scout in late 2001. Since the fall of GWF, he has been in many now-defunct federations, before settling in Philadelphia to work for PWW.

Pro Wrestling Warriors
Although most of Dimitri’s records have been lost over time, he has been a consistent performer for PWW. He has been in high-profile feuds against the likes of Adrian King, Dante Priest, and was once ex-CEO James Simpson’s personal bodyguard. Although a neck injury kept him out of action for almost a year, his return as part of PWW’s veteran’s vs. new blood was successful, even though he lost in the second round.

Perhaps Dimitri’s biggest moment was as the 5th participant of the first Elimination Chamber match in PWW, however he was eliminated first. Since then, Dimitri has had problems involving his knees, and has just recently returned as an active member of the roster as part of Darius Falcon’s stable The Awakening.
