[edit] Wrestling career
Maximum Capacity trained at the School Of Hard Knocks under former WWF preliminary wrestler Rusty Brooks. Former Wrestler Billy Fives also played a large role in training Max. He taught him a lot of grappling, submission moves that Fives was famous for in Japan.
Capacity began working for the now defunct Future of Wrestling in January of 2001.[2]. He quickly became their number one heel. During his time in FOW, Max faced the likes of Jerry "The King" Lawler, Barry Horowitz and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Max was defeated for the FOW Hardcore Title by Horowitz in 2002.[3]
Max worked against Chris "Bambikiller" Raaber for the EWA World Heavyweight Championship in Leoben, Austria in November of 2003.
After taking 2 1/2 years off due to injuries, Capacity returned to the ring for Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX in Japan in October of 2006.[4] He did a 10 match tour throughout Japan. During this tour he faced the likes of Masato Tanaka, Shinjiro Otani and Takao Omori.[5][6]
After his return to America, Max began working for D1PW in Davie, FL. D1PW has thus since begun an invasion angle with a North Carolina based company called WCEW. Maximum Capacity defeated Tommy Vandal on July 21, 2007 for their Extreme Title.[7]
[edit] TV career
Maximum Capacity did a very successful episode of The Jerry Springer Show in 2001 called 3 Pigs and A Trailer. This has since gone on to become a Springer Classic. Max has also appeared on numerous TV Wrestling shows throughout Europe, Asia and America.
