Profile Information

Ben Murdock and Steve O’Reily both came from blue collar backgrounds growing up in the “Rustbelt” cities of Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Both grew up with an athletic background, and started attending Ohio State and the University of Pittsburgh, respectively. It was on a winter break working the nighclub scene in Pittsburgh as bouncers that the two men met, and became friends. It was also during this break that Ben and Steve also met Trent Logan, who upon meeting them, offered them the chance to sign with him as clients and break into the world of professional wrestling. After some months training, Trent was able to negotiate them a deal to quickly break from the independent scene and on to the national circuit with LEGACY’s renewed interest in building the tag team division. Domination worked upon their arrival to gain respect as fighters worthy of becoming champions. In their short history they have had notable conflicts with Ron Bailey and The Diabolik (Gryffin Anselm and James Win) finally ending the The Diabolik’s historic reign with the titles. This feud was followed by a long feud with El Chupacabra after Trent Logan was brutally attacked by Diego and Hector, and Domination were cheated out of their belts. Finally, Domination regained the titles at Co-Op Collision to become World Tag Team Champions for the second time, and they are now looking to build upon their LEGACY and improve as a team. Ben has grown on the mic and has improved his speed work for a man of his size, while VENOM has honed his brawling, and prefers a more reserved approach on the mic, but he is opening up more as time passes.
