[edit] Career
[edit] Northern Wrestling Federation (2004-Present)
He began his career under the name "Jeremy Hyde", being destroyed in his first match by Dustin Lillard in less than five minutes. He then joined his (kayfabe) big brother Jesse Hyde and his long time tag team partner Pompano Joe, and the three were now known as The Hippies. The Hyde Brothers charisma, matched with Pompano Joe's knowledge for wrestling, was a combination that meshed well. Things were going well for the Hippies, but when Jeremy's inexperience showed by losing matches Pompano Joe became upset. It seemed Jeremy was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and both men began interfering in one another's matches, and splitting The Hippies in three leaving Jesse Hyde in the middle. When a match between Pompano Joe and Jeremy Hyde was signed, NWF CEO Kirk Sheppard made Jesse Hyde the guest referee. During the match Jesse, caught Jeremy trying to cheat several times and after several warnings from the referee, the more experienced Pompano Joe got the three count. Furious after his loss, Jeremy proceeded to attack his own brother. The next week at Bonekrushers National Pro Wrestling Training Center Jeremy viciously attacked Pompano Joe and Jesse Hyde with a steel chair leaving The Hippies with a fire to get revenge on their former best friend and brother. It was in this action that The Crybaby was born.
After the unexplained incident, The Crybaby started a heated rivalry with Pompano Joe, losing in baby bottle matches in Fairfield, Ohio and Wilmington, Ohio. After Pompano Joe, Jeremy had a series of matches with his big brother Jesse Hyde culminating in a family rights match where Jeremy Hyde lost the Hyde name resulting in a name change to The Crybaby. The Crybaby was down, but not out, as he stole the NWF Lightweight Championship from The Zodiac after hitting The Zodiac and his manager Jac Attack with the title belt. Four months passed and he was still the champion, but things were about to change. The NWF Lightweight title was going to be decided in a Light Heavyweight Countdown Brawl. Holding the final spot in the match and fighting a hard battle against seven other competitors, The Crybaby lost the NWF Lightweight title to Christopher Michael Lotus.
