Pre-Wrestling History: From the earliest years, KMD was an orphan growing up in the streets of Pittsburgh. Before ever having an established home, he and his sister jumped between a dozen homes. He lost track of her at around the age of 6, and later found her to be the new bride of Bryan Tann (more later). A mistake in early paperwork, he was admitted into the Marines in 1980 and had a 2-year term of service in operations in South America. He resigned from the military life shortly after his platoon was wiped out in an encounter that is to this day still classified, and one that left him with little-no feeling in his nerves. Shortly thereafter (in around 1984) he was found in a back-alley throwing thugs off of an old man. The old man turned out to be an old wrestler from the early days of wrestling, and took the poor boy in and tended to him as if he was his own son.

Wrestling History: He started out his career as a no-name curtain puller for 5 years before he decided to give up the life of a wrestler and gained custody of his 10-year old son after the death of his past lover. He went off to business school and worked days in a Deli, and graduated 2 years later with a degree in business. Always seemingly unhappy and wander-lusted, he decided to give it another shot as a wrestler and began training while attempting other failed business ventures. He slowly brought himself around to no-name feds, finally finding a home at the NWL where he debut as the monster known as "The Berserker" led by the Slog Father. After bringing his step-brother Joey Padrino, into the wrestling life, they started the stable known as "The Graveyard Shift", and slowly dominated the fed. Slogfather and KMD got into it over a pay-cut imbezzlement problem, and KMD split from The Slogfather and destroyed The Graveyard Shift. He went solo as simply "Krev The Berserker" for awhile, finding no real success, and then he ended up getting paired with the man known as "The Dark Prince", and formed an unmatched tag-team.

The team lasted a year or so before the NWL closed its doors due to financial troubles, and the tag team of Bersker/Dark Prince broke up. Dark Prince went his way and left wrestling, and Krev went solo for awhile after that, jumping from fed to fed with little-to-no success, meeting various personalities including Bryan Tann, Shawn Holliday, and Jason Sensation. It was also during these periods that KMD periodically flipped out and had to be institutionalized, always coming back better than ever.

After a few years of wandering, and creating the feared inter-fed stable "THE TRU$T", KMD found his home with NAIR-0, a fed of odd-balls and monstrosities that harbored the "Corporate" look of the new KMD. It was there that he met the likes of Stan Ember and Jim Holland, guys that he could really bond with. It is also where he went, following the reknowned Kulin as a sort of vengence drive for ruining his near-pristine hardcore name in a "Steel City Street Fight" against Bryan Tann. Throughout NAIR-0, KMD became equivilant to the Samauri-warrior type...honorable (but not at first...not by a long shot...) and brutally honest and phsically harsh. It is where KMD shined his tarnished Hardcore name.

When NAIR-0 closed, KMD took to the road on his '65 Harley "Widowmaker" for close to 6 months when he was contacted by Shawn Holliday about a business venture. The new fed was to be called the IWF, and it needed a good front-man to complement Holliday's smooth and clean style. The hard-ass, blunt-as-hell KMD was the perfect fit. In 2000, IWF opened its doors and made history.

KMD started out in IWF as the Commissioner, using his connections to sign new wrestlers and create special matches. Soon after there was a shift in power, as Holliday and KMD, despite being good friends, had radically different approaches to business and they changed roles. KMD took control of the IWF and made it prosper. While on vacation that same year, KMD was forced into signing over the fed to his step brother Padrino and vanished from the wrestling world in shame; never before was he in a situation he couldn't talk or fight his way out of.

After a few months of the iron-fisted rule of Padrino, Holliday got fed up and rallied to regain control of the fed. He searched out KMD to help him take down Padrino once and for all. After a hard-fought and bloody battle, they regained control and rebuilt the fed. Months later, issues having arisen in the personal lives of both Holliday and KMD, they handed the fed off to Stan Ember and Sean Hand to be run. The fed wasn't the same, and slowly died off.
KMD settled down a bit and started his wrestling school at about the time Padrino came into power, and maintains that school to this day. After being out of action for a few months, he decided to join the illustrious ASW, and in a matter of 4 weeks he had taken the Canadian Championship form fellow Pittsburgh native, and wrestler of the past, Sonny L:ightning, and found himself unchallenged and bored with the world. He stepped aside shortly after the dissapearance of his son and only did small part stints in different feds, to help along their storylines a bit.

It was about this time that KMD found his long-lost sister, and found her to be engaged to Bryan Tann, his old rival. Bringing the issue up in a fed they were both a part of, the argument slowly became a fued, and then died out over the pleas of his sister. Grudgingly they put aside differences and became friends. He continued to run the school and train quality wrestlers, as well as help older wrestlers touch up their style a bit. Shortly after, his missing son turned up on his doorstep a broken and hurt young man. He had snapped, and went searching for his mother...the mother that died 15 years earlier. He is still in intensive care at Bellview Mental Hospital...the place that housed KMD when he had his rage flips.

After a year of inactivity, KMD joined the ranks of W3 and made a stab at re-building his name...but fell into conflict with his old friend Jason Sensation. They ended up having a rivalry that nearly destroyed them both, as well as KMD's prodigy student Colin Ronning. In the end there were many broken bones and rested spirits, both men coming to an understanding about their relationship. KMD took some time away from the ring as a whole as he re-couped and travelled the country, leaving behind everything.

Having caught word of the re-opening of the IWF, KMD brought himself back to his hometown and began training, readying himself for a return that will leave men speechless. The whereabouts as to where he has been is shrouded in mystery...and even more mysterious are the new scars and wounds that he didn't have when he left, as well as a strange tattoo on the back of his neck. He hasn't spoken to anyone about these things, or where he was...but wherever it was seems to have marked him in some way...be in in physical apperance (no longer as muscular, but more hard and dense), manner of speaking (having taken to speaking enigmatically and quote-laden), general outlook, or the strange glow behind his eyes and knowing smile. He's come back determined...for what, that is still yet to be seen.

Recent History: After coming out to help Holliday and Sensation on opening night of the IWF, KMD was issued a for fun match against Sensation. The match went smoothly until IWF personality of the past Stan Ember came out and decided to play hardball. Already unstable, this sent KMD into fits of multiple personalities...and he brutally attacked Ember in his home with an axe. The next week, while recovering, a match was signed and KMD took the IWF Bad-Ass Championship with a little help from Byran Tann, defeating Ember in the hospital. The next morning KMD awoke, after a fall on his head, to find that he was the Bad-Ass Champion, and he seemingly was transported 2 years back...to about the point right after Padrino was driven out of the IWF (2000). Confused and angry, KMD went to Padrino, the only person seemingly able to help him out. Padrino convinced him that it was indeed 2000, and that the missing 2 years had been nothing more than a vivid dream, and the fabrication was the work of Shawn Holliday. Now KMD has returned to the IWF the Bad-Ass Champion, and looking to take back control of the fed...convinced that it is indeed the year 2000. He's issued the help of the stable once known as "The Graveyard Shift" (Padrino, Knuckles, and The Slogfather) to help him rebuild the powerful IWF stable known as THE TRU$T.

IWF Update: After blowing apart Joey Padrino and his thugs with the help of the rest of THE TRU$T, THE TRU$T slowly began to disolve of members, finally leaving only KMD to deal the final blow to Joey Padrino and send him to prison for a long time in a court battle that raged on 3 weeks. With the funds awarded to him, he petitioned Holliday and Sensation to hold a special event PPV...The House of Pain, funded entirely by KMD...as well as with the original HoP that was sold off to another fed. He re-acquired the HoP, and got his event. Only time will tell what will happen that fateful night.

He recently gainied the IFW Heavyweight Championship once again, and had to relinquish his Bad-Ass title to the newcomer and winner at Wrestlepolooza, Ace Olen. Pete Ebdon, the man he's been battling it out for the title for the past month, is still hot on his trail, and ready to do anything to give up his Imperial Championship for the gold. Will KMD give him the opportunity for a rematch, or will he decide that Ebdon is truly not worthy? Either way, he really has no choice in the matter...

Entrance Description: ~~The arena dims as a soft hum plays over the PA system.~~
Voice: STOP.
~~The music cuts as the arena is blanketed in darkness and "Where Is My Mind" by The Pixies starts to play over the PA system. Silver lights search the top of the ramp in beat to the rhythm, slowly gathering dead-center. As the music picks up, we find KMD standing at the top of the ramp in his leather trenchcoat, combat boots, torn jeans, and a faded and cracked black IWF t-shirt stretched over a dirty white long-sleeve shirt. He looks around the arena, rubbing his hands through his short, messy hair. He begins to walk down to the ramp as the house lights slowly come back on, scratching at his bearded chin and nodding in beat to the music.~~

Unusual Characteristics/ Behaviour: He still has the look he always had when in the ring; focused and confident. It is his out-of-ring behaviour thats changed; he's now prone to pick at scabs or bruises on his body, almost enjoying the slight bits of pain he gets out of it. He also seems to be in another world much of the time, indulging in alcohold (albeit, this isn't a change...but the quantity has increased). He can also be found sitting alone in the dark, mumbling to himself in meditation, or walking the halls, spouting little quotes, haikus, bits of wisdom to whoever passes by...and sometimes when there is no one there at all...

Quote: "You may as well drink up boys, because its going to be one hell of a ride with KMD on board." --KMD to Holliday and Sensation, Nov 13, 2002, "There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same." --KMD quoting a Chinese Proverb to the hotdog guy outside the arena, Nov 13, 2002.
