Early Career
The Knight began his career using the in ring moniker Chief2K and used the theme 'Bad Boys' from the TV show COPS. After winning his debut bout, he changed his name to The Knight. The name change reflected the high school he went to, adopting their mascot as his name. This got him instant heel heat, as all the other wrestlers in [FCW] went to the other high school in the area.
As The Knight
His original theme was called "Medieval Man" and came from the Warcraft 2 soundtrack. During this time period he wrestled in a lot of early and mid-card matches, and used a double-underhook ddt as his finisher. Soon after, he changed his music to 'Siege' by Kamelot, and began using the Cobra Clutch (named The Iron Mask) as his finisher.
Ukrainian Champion
After a long and storied rivalry with The H, The Knight finally captured the Ukrainian gold in a strap match against The H at the taping: Merry Christmas, Asshole. He immediately renamed the title the Borgia Heavyweight Championship after his high school. Following his win, he changed his music again, this time to X-Squad by George Clinton and Buckethead, and added a front leg sweep to his Iron Mask finisher, calling it The Last Crusade.
Heavyweight Champion
By 2002, The Knight had established himself as a key player in the company. Using 'Dragonslayer' by Excelsis as his music, he wrestled Psycho Beekie (defending the title for the absent PPP) and Galactus in a 'Galactic Rules' Triple Threat match to obtain his first and only FCW Heavyweight Title reign. Later that evening, he handed his belt to stablemate Zero to defend in what was supposed to be the final FCW match in history at the taping 2 weeks hence, stating "If it's going to be the last match ever, than everything ought to be on the line". Zero went on to lose the match against Doc Calo. The Knight maintains to this day that the belt is still his, and he is one of, if not the only, undefeated FCW Heavyweight Champions.
And Beyond
FCW has since had several other tapings since the "final" show, which The Knight has appeared and been successful at. His current theme is now 'Knights of Cydonia' by Muse and he is enjoying the spotlight as a face.
