[edit] Early career

Skorpio first started wrestling in 1998 at Florida-based Dead or Alive Wrestling (DAW) where he created the characters Skorpio and Sniper. After DAW, Skorpio along with Hardcore Al began doing vignettes and sending them to different promoters to try to receive bookings. Because of their lack of experience neither were booked for anycome outside of the local Pan Am Wrestling Association. During his high school years Skorpio met Alex Garcia (Apocalypse). Skorpio expressed to Alex the idea of forming a wrestling promotion. Together Alex Garcia and Skorpio created Under-Ground Wrestling (UGW).

During his time running UGW, Skorpio appeared in various short films by Director Daunier Estevez. After the friendship between Skorpio and Alex Garcia, now known as Lit Fuse, became sour Skorpio dropped the UGW name and began calling the wrestling promotion by a much catchier name Independent Championship Wrestling, Inc. (ICW).

2000

October 18th, 2000, Under-Ground Wrestling holds its first event with only two matches. Lit Fuse VS Ocyrus the Virus and a tag team match with the teams of Skorpio and ToN taking on KaoZ and Snake. ToN and KaoZ backstabbed each others partner and began a storyline that lasted for over 3 years.

Under-Ground Wrestling, Inc. merged with InsaneRage.com.

April 23, 2001 Skorpio defeated Lit Fuse for the UGW Championship. Skorpio then bashed Under-Ground Wrestling on the microphone. Skorpio grabbed the UGW Championship and dropped it on the floor. (Something reminicent of Shane Douglas in ECW) Skorpio then pulled another belt from a bag and revealed the a new championship, with the initials ICW. UGW had been closed down by InsaneRage.com and no one but Skorpio knew.

Since his entrance into D$W, Skorpio has been feuding with Ernest R. Alexander III (E.R.A.). He was also involved in a grueling Road to Global War Fatal Four Way Match against E.R.A., J-Biggs, and Beast. E.R.A. came out victorious. The feud between E.R.A. and Skorpio continues to the day.
