[edit] Career
[edit] Amateur wrestling
Nemeth wrestled for the Roman Catholic St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio where he holds the school record for most pins in a career with 82. When he attended Kent State University he joined their wrestling team, eventually setting the record for most career wins in the school's history.[1]
[edit] Professional wrestling
Nemeth signed a developmental deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2004 and was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) their farm territory.
After working nearly a year in OVW Nemeth was called up to the main WWE Raw roster. He was made the enforcer/sidekick for Kerwin White, who was using a golfer gimmick. As such Nemeth became White's caddy.
His wrestling debut came on an episode of Sunday Night HEAT, teaming up with Kerwin White in a tag team match against Shelton Benjamin and Matt Striker. After the death of Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero dropped his Kerwin White character, and Nemeth no longer played the role of his caddy/tag partner and after a few months of wrestling dark matches and at house shows he was sent back to OVW.
In OVW he became a part of The Spirit Squad, who were eventually called up to RAW. The Squad became closely associated with The McMahons and would feud with DX and Ric Flair, as well as hold the World Tag Team Championship as a team.
Nemeth appeared on the January 17th OVW taping along with Michael Brendli as the Frat Pack and teamed with Mike Kruel in a match against Seth Skyfire, Shawn Spears, and Cody Runnels.
