Bio: When The Butcher was 8 years old his parents disappeared. All police attempts to find the parents failed. They just simply "disappeared off the face of the Earth". So with no parents, The Butcher had to take care of his little brother. No one really cared about the two boys who had to live on the streets of Harlem in poverty. One day a fat old Italian named "Stubby" Sal found the two boys trying to steal one of his famous pizzas. Once they told Sal their story, "Stubby" took them in as his own. Of course his wife took exception and threw Sal out of the house! So, The Butcher and his brother lived and worked with "Stubby" Sal at his pizza shop for many years until The Butcher found his calling. Guess what it was....of course wrestling! So, at the age of 16, The Butcher joined the New York Wrestling Federation. No one knew his name so he was called "The Butcher" because he smelled like he lived in a slaughter house. He learned the trade quickly and now he was set to be a champion. Two things got in The Butcher's way...his extra creativity and his love of beer. He couldn't resist being a funny guy and that really made him look stupid in the wrestling ring. He got his ass kicked plenty of times and that's where he started to become a "paid jobber". Federations all over the world paid The Butcher to show up for a match and lose purposely to his opponent. Thus a record of 56-898-6 started. Then one day in April of 1999, The Butcher joined the GFWA. This was the best federation for the aging loser. He had fans for the first time. Not to mention a new love in Denise Lopez. The Butcher gained a lot of money and respect, so he started his own fast food chain in the northeast. Butcher Burger fell quickly due to the second coming of mad cow disease. The Butcher wrestled for a few months and then his "sharp skills" started to get dull. He retired in January 2000; but his wrestling career did not end there. He started a GFWA program called "The Butcher's Table" with his side kick The GrimReaper. It failed miserably. Later on he wrote letters to the GFWA expressing his opinions and these letters became famed throughout the GFWA. When the GFWA merged with the bWo, The Butcher became A Tendency 2 Start Fires' manager. He knew he wasn't the greatest manager but he acted as if he knew what he was doing. Still, his heart belonged to 2 things: wrestling and his GFWA fans. So, with the help of a personal trainer and the possible love of his life named Nikki, The Butcher came back to the GFWA to finish his quest for the GFWA World Championship. And in one night he changed the whole face of the GFWA. The night was a Pay-Per-View called No Escape and that�s exactly what it was for the whole GFWA roster when they took on The Butcher. He turned a special Pay-Per-View into a blood bath and solidified his shot for the World Championship. A few weeks later he accomplished the dream that lasted for 20 years. He beat the GFWA World Champion, Phobia, in a classic bout. The Butcher�s reign didn�t last long but it didn�t matter to him. He climbed the ladder for rung by rung and finally reached the top 20 years after his first match. Now, The Butcher is a retired GFWA Hall of Famer and their current Commissioner. The love of the sport has never left him and it may never. Even though he�s married to Nikki, The Butcher is preparing his mind and body for a possible return to the ring. But for now he is happy because his life is finally coming together.
