Formerly a dark, satanic character... Damien Black has apparently done
a complete 180 and serves a higher authority and has made it his personal
mission to do the right thing in the name of God to avoid hell. While
his methods are, at times, a little too violent and sadistic, his heart
is in the right place. The question in everyone's minds is that has Damien
truly reformed or is this just the calm before the storm? Time will tell.
Background: He grew up in a fundamentalist home where his father was an
abusive preacher who had a tendency to go to the bottle when he couldn't
control his demons. Eventually his father was shot in a domestic dispute
by his mother and Damien ran away to be trained by Nathan Kelser with
his girlfriend at that time. Everything seemed to be going well when one
night after Damien came home from his first wrestling booking, he found
his girlfriend dead in the bathtub with pills scattered everywhere. At
this point, Damien began slipping into the occult, becoming a devout Satanist
and hurting people just for fun. He would brutally maim his opponents
in the ring to make THEM pay for the death of his girlfriend. He then
after a few years of dominating the Canadian indy scene, he and the new
love of his life, Jodi, moved to Japan where Damien learned the brutal
Japanese shoot style from Japanese wrestling legend "Black Dragon"
Nobuhiko Okazaki. He became a nearly unbeatable monster in Japan with
Jodi, by this time rechristened as Jezebel by promoters in Japan, as his
mouthpiece.
After dominating Japan for many years, Edward Raymond called Damien Black
to join his fledgling promotion True Talent Wrestling and Damien immediately
on arrival embarked on a lengthy winning streak. He was becoming very
notorious in the United States as a monster and was almost unbeatable.
But tragedy nearly cut Damien's career short when a gasoline can match
went horribly wrong with Damien suffering severe burns on his face, upper
body, and arms that left him with visible permanent burn scars. Upon his
return, he only gained more steam, single-handedly running Lonewolf and
Chaos out of TTW, being one of only a few people to ever make Jonny Johnson
bleed, and it seemed like Damien was destined to explode in 2005. Damien
embarked on a hard-fought and very personal feud with Rocky Stellar that
result in an emotional win for Stellar. The aftermath was Damien simply
stopped talking to anyone and Jezebel would come in as his mouthpiece,
basically making him her personal puppet for destruction as he got a shot
at Devastation and despite kicking out of "The Decapitator",
Damien fell short in his attempt to be champion. He never could recapture
that magic again in TTW and once the company folded, he departed for OPW.
Upon arrival, he went on a tear, going through his opposition until another
hard-fought loss to Azraith DeMitri.
He once again went into a personal funk and was nearly killed by Harland
Delacroix by being locked in a flaming coffin lined with light tubes.
At one point during this experience, Damien had legally died and had an
out of body experience that gave him an epiphany that everything he had
ever believed before was wrong and that he would serve the most high authority
instead of serving Satan. As a result of this, Jezebel was forced into
slavery as Delacroix's "pet". After several months of no sign
from Damien or Jezebel, Damien had emerged in Japan back at the "Black
Dragon Dojo" perfecting his craft and working some mixed martial
arts matches to add a new dimension to his offense. After a few months,
Damien had Jezebel taken from Delacroix and returned to him. While Jezebel
has yet to resurface in the business, Damien came back to the business
with some "unfinished business".
