[edit] Career

Ruth trained under Larry Sharpe and debuted in 1991 as The Spider. He later became Sharpe's assistant and trained wrestlers at Sharpe's "Monster Factory". Among the wrestlers trained by Sharpe and Ruth was Charles Warrington, Ruth's future tag team partner.

Ruth is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation throughout the 1990s, where he formed a successful tag team, The Headbangers, with Charles Warrington (commonly called Mosh). The Headbangers, a pair of metal fans, were known for their outrageous costumes, which usually featured long plaid skirts. They captured the vacant WWF World Tag Team Championships on September 7, 1997 by defeating three other teams in a four team tag match. They lost the titles to The Godwinns on October 5, 1997.

The Headbangers split in 1999 when Ruth suffered a leg injury and Warrington began pursuing a singles career, but reformed in late 1999.

In 2000 Ruth took part in the match for the Hardcore Championship at WrestleMania 2000. He held the title for 45 seconds, pinning Joey Abs and then being pinned by Pete Gas.

Ruth was released from the WWF later that year.
