Criss Nomak

History
Criss Nomak was born in a small town just outside of Shreveport, Louisiana on September 18, 1979. To his mother and father, Gérard and Marguerite Nomak. Gérard wasn’t around much when Criss was young, as he spent time going in and out of prison. Marguerite remarried when Criss was four, to an Italian film producer named Ambrogio Ricardi. When he was ten years old, his mother moved Criss and his newborn sister Isabelle to nearby Baton Rouge, which happens to be the capital city of Louisiana. It was here that here Criss started going to wrestling matches with his stepfather Ambrogio. Around the age of 15, he started to help out the many ring crews by setting up the ring. This was a huge learning experience for Criss, as he used it to learn every nuance of a wrestling ring.

When he graduated high school, Nomak was discovered by David Albrecht aka Demon Knight. Who was the foundation of the Xtreme Wrestling Alliance. He began his wrestling training with a group of wrestlers. Nomak excelled in his training sessions and in less than a six months later, he was called up to the big leagues. Nomak struggled to find himself in the wrestling world, never really amounting to anything. XWA closed it’s doors a few months later, and Nomak found himself living out on the streets. Five months later, at the age of 22, Criss signed with the International Wrestling Federation. He quickly became one of their top tier stars, capturing the IWF Heavyweight and International Championships. Eventually, Criss would begin working various independent leagues in the southeastern region of the United States. Companies in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North & South Carolina, and in Louisiana.

In early 2003, Nomak was contacted by a representative of Unconventional Films Inc. Nomak started an acting career, staring in some great B-budget action, sci fi, and horror films. Including ‘Whippersnapper,’ ‘Devil Dogs,’ and ‘Angel of Death’.

Some time later, he caught the eye of High Impact Wrestling. The HIW was and still is the biggest company of wrestling. So, this brings us to right now. Let’s see what he will do.
