Soon finding that his other dreams couldn't be fulfilled, he went into the wrestling business and has already competed over the world. He is a former World champion and right is under contract to the NIFW

Early life[]

Mike lived in a small town in Northern Illinois. Nobody famous has ever come from there, which was one of his main ideas about becoming famous.

Growing up, he always watch wrestling, guys like Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and many others. But he really enjoyed the hardcore aspect of it. Raven, Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Terry Funk, these were the legends in his eyes. Still he never wanted to a wrestler.

First dream was to play baseball. Basically living in his brothers eyes, he always drive to be better than him at baseball. Saying how that was his dreams, he tried not never give up, but soon found out about the politics in life. Even though he was good, he never played for a traveling team, and didn't kiss enough ass, and didn't make his high school team. After that he never got another shot. Playing basketball, he blew out his knee, and couldn't run at top speed anymore, and due to the injury kept missing tryouts.

After High school, he tried College, but it just made him mad. He travel and eventually decide maybe he could still be famous. He went to Atlanta and enrolled in the WW4 camp, and now is on the wrestling circuit.

First Break[]

he left the WW4 camp, due to the fact that he believe it wasn't getting him anywhere, and decide to go on the independent circuit, and basically got his ass kicked everywhere, but he learned, and eventually earned the respects.

NGW Next Generation Wrestling was a new group formed up to help older guys teach the new guys. Krouser was the second man to join, followed by the likes of Raven, Angle, Orton, and many others. Seeing how these other men wrestle he quickly learned new respect for the game, and started to become more of a brawler, and finally got training from Raven. Raven eventually moved on and left NGW to go to Japan, and instead of waiting, Krouser followed his mentor.

On coming back, Krouser was a change man and decide not to let anyone get in to his way.

WWE Havoc[]

Deciding it was time to move onto a bigger stage, He went to a relative big company, named WWE Havoc. Soon he was put in the smaller group in OVW. Quickly gaining momentum, he became the first OVW tag team champions, but was forced to surrender the belts after his partner left.

Eventually OVW became ECW, and Krouser was ready to bring on the pain. He once again climbed through the ranks, and though he didn't capture any titles, he was always top seed, but due to contract negations, he was forced to leave WWE Havoc.

NGW.....Again[]

He decided to go back to his roots, and was again resigned with NGW, this time Raven was running the show. Krouser right away became the first and only ever Canadian Champion in NGW, and since his return was never beat.

But due to finiacal problems, NGW was shut down leaving Krouser nowhere to go again.

XWF[]

Searching around the independent circuits, he came across a relative new company named the Xtreme Wrestling Federation. After seeing there first show, he was hooked and quickly signed.


He new how to make an impact, and started off on a bad foot, by destroying electrical equipment, and immediately getting on management bad side, but showed heart in is first match on the second episode, by defeating Mystiko in under a minute.

However his next match didn't go to plan. He lost to Cody E in a qualifying match, and due to his complaints got Angle on his bad side.

Feud with Angle[]

They went on to a three stages of Hell match at XWF first Pay Per View, Initiation. Matches consist of a submission match, a no disqualification match, and an ambulance match. Angle wins the first fall, but Krouser wins the second one. The match concludes with angle hitting his finisher on Krouser into the ambulance. Krouser loses his first pay per view match, but it doesn't end there.

Angle and Krouser go on to the next bloodbath to face each other again. Now with Raven at his side, and Cage at Angle side, everyone expected a war, but everyone was banned from ringside. Krouser in the match getting to far ahead, went for a jump from the ring to the table, and knocked himself out, giving an Angle a count-out victory.
