Cid Phoenix



Early years 2005Cid Phoenix was trained by Tim Timmons & Blob Wilson. He started as a lower mid-carder for the VOW Promotion (Virtual Online Wrestling), where he eventually won himself the VOW Tag Team Championships with Blob, under the name Pax Punk. The two would hold the titles for just two weeks before dropping them. Shortly thereafter, he would be released from the promotion. WNA 2005-06 Cid Phoenix would later debut in the short-lived WNA promotion, where he would eventually win the WNA Hardcore Championship. He would hold the title for nearly one month before dropping that title. EWW 2006-07Cid Phoenix would eventually debut in Elite World Wrestling, run by Cameron Blake. Whilst there he would engage in various feuds whilst in the promotion. Amongst his feuds, would be Rico Logan, & a very violent series of Glass Tables Matches with Tim Timmons, which would make him a mainstay as a mid-carder. He would eventually join his first stable called "World's Most Wanted", as one of it's most successful members, winning himself the EWW North American Championship from then champion Tim Timmons in a three way dance that included the likes of Peyote Pete. Shortly thereafter Cid Phoenix would only make sporadic appearances as he would cross over to the Xtreme Wrestling Enterprize promotion run by Psyko Steve Johnson. 2007 XWE/XWACid Phoenix would join the promotion as a transplant in a joint venture between Cameron Blake & veteran e-wrestler, Psyko Steve Johnson. Immediately after joining the promotion, Cid Phoenix would hit the peak of his career, as he became the promotion's first and only Undisputed XWE/XWA Universal Heavyweight Champion. Shortly thereafter, the XWE, as well as the EWW Promotion, would go close their doors indefinitely under mysterious circumstances. 2007 Post-EWW/XWE & Joining SCWAfter EWW, Cid would join the SCW, working solely as a lower mid-carder. His highlight moment in the company would come when he would team with former SCW Global Champion Robert Anderson, aka Rob Ando to defeat the defending team of Doug E.Fresh and Ryan Ruckus to win the SCW Tag Team Championships. The team would lose the titles just two weeks later to former champions, and Cid would fall back down the card as a lower mid-carder, until leaving the company just one month later. VWE 2008Cid Phoenix made his debut in the VWE, as Wolf Jericho, winnning himself the promotions Television Championship. He would lose this title the following week, and shortly thereafter be released from the company, which shortly thereafter went under. 2009 and hiatusCid Phoenix would go on an extended sabbatical for much of 2009, making brief sporadic appearances in various promotions. early 2010; The Anti-Establishment & Falling out with SCWCid Phoenix would re-appear in the SCW, forming The Anti-Establishment with longtime trainer and friend Dan Bochner, aka Danny Crane. The two would blame their misfortunes and mistreatment as superstars on the promotion's "higher-ups" & cut "shoot" style promos berating the company and it's former owner Doug E. Fresh, calling him out for his misuse of power as a booker and claim that he "purposely" would book himself and friends to win matches and titles. In an ironic twist of fate, then fed booker Cliff Light, aka Agent Decipher Light would come under fire following the departure of Phoenix and Bochner and the fed itself would be thrown in jeopardy, as it very own roster began to dwindle - partially because of the claims that the booking practices were in fact corrupt. Cid Phoenix would then go on to post on the Experts website how he and Dan were sick and tired of being treating like trash by "them", and were going to go on to "greener pastures". APW (mid-late 2010)Cid Phoenix would then make his debut in the APW, with an impressive win over former Champion Streets Wilson. During his tenure there he would engage in a feud/rivalry with Nero Valentine and his Red Shield Mafia faction, eventually leading to an affair between Cid Phoenix and Nero's wife Eva. He would be joined by his partner Dan Bochner (as Crane) and would continue this feud until his short term contract expired. Dan Bochner would remain with the company until an injury forced him out of action. Dan Bochner would be released from the company shortly thereafter. 2011 Return to SCW; the GraveIn 2011, nearly a year after departing from the promotion, a masked wrestler began showing up and cutting mysterious promos that led various people to believe that he was in fact former SCW Superstar Mr Chaos. The masked man, known first as Grave Dream and then just simply The Grave, would go on an impressive winning streak, even having a chance at the SCW Hardcore Championship. However, when word got around that it was in fact Cid Phoenix, David Cyclone cut a promo stating that he knew that Cid was the Grave. The Grave would unmask at one of the SCW PPV's revealing himself to infact be Cid Phoenix apologizing to the fans and stating that he wanted another chance. Cid Phoenix would then go on to become the first man to actually pin the beast Marko Flins, and would in a shocking turn of events, allign himself with Doug E. Fresh, as his 1st Disciple in Doug's Sinistry. Cid would even come close to winning the SCW United Championship from Shelbi Lynn, who would go on to retain. Following a mysterious backstage (OOC) incident, Cid Phoenix would again leave the SCW, claiming that his return was stupid on his part and that he should have known better than to return to the fed, when they "absolutely hated me". He has stated that following that mistake, that he is done indefinitely with the promotion and will never return. late-2011 & 2012 Cid Phoenix signed a year-long contract with Action Packed Wrestling (APW), alongside partner Dan Bochner - this time redebuting in the company at Christmas Chaos in a dark match as the Anti-Society X. They lost to the team of Brandy Boyer and Mr. Dangerous (substituting for Terry Lee Richards, who was released) Later on at the Pay Per View, The ASX brutally attacked Red Shield Mafia members Mannie & JR Kingston in a parking lot, putting JR's head through the passengers side window of a car, and executing a Double Power Bomb on Young Mannie, putting him through a car windshield. Cid Phoenix is also slated to make several appearances at the VWE's Revival as Cid Phoenix.
