[edit] Career | |||
Super Dragon began wrestling in 1997. He competed in companies such as All Pro Wrestling, Revolution Pro, and Millennium Pro. In APW, he won the Internet Championship and wrestled in the King of the Indies tournament. | |||
[edit] Early Career/Revolution Pro | |||
Super Dragon's career began in a match against Tiger Joe, in the famous Anaheim Market place, though it was a losing effort, it was to be the debut of arguably Southern California's biggest star. Super Dragon became friends with Blitzkrieg, during a tour of Mexico Blitzkrieg became noticed by wrestlers backstage. After this Blitzkrieg and Super Dragon were granted a dark match for WCW with the help of American Wild Child, who was friends with Konnan. He joined Revolution Pro in 1999. Super Dragon was part of the New Generation that hit Revolution Pro along with Disco Machine, TARO, Excalibur, and Shogun. His first real peak was winning the Rev J in 2001, against B-Boy. During this time Dragon, along with other Rev Pro stars were featured on a few XPW shows. At Pride of the Mask on October 25th 2002, Super Dragon and Shogun won a tag team match. The stipulation was the two winners would face in a Mask vs. Mask match. Super Dragon beat Shogun and claimed his mask, adding to the increasing legend he was building throughout Southern California. Throughout his Rev Pro run, Dragon had made a change in his wrestling style and attire. Super Dragon had become a guardian of So Cal of sorts. Many young stars like Joey Ryan, Scott Lost, Scorpio Sky, and TARO had career matches with Dragon. His feud with TARO was especially a heated one. They had battled nearly five years, finally culminating in a Mask vs. Mask match at Revolution Pro's fourth anniversary show. The loser was to unmask. The match was seen as many to be one of the greatest in So Cal history, in the match Super Dragon sported an old-school mask he had worn previously. TARO was put to rest after a violent series of Lariats. After the match TARO announced his retirement, and unmasked, as he and Super Dragon embraced. This was perhaps seen as the high point of Revolution Pro. In March 2004, Dragon squared off against Babi Slymm, at Revolution Pro's "One Step Beyond" it was seen as arguably Revolution Pro's finest show. | |||
[edit] Combat Zone Wrestling | |||
Super Dragon started wrestling for Combat Zone Wrestling in 2002 at Best of the Best 2 against long time rival B-Boy. When he returned in 2004, he wrestled many tag team matches with partner Excalibur, and challenged Chris Hero for the Iron Man championship. In 2005, he was involved in a feud against The Blackout. At Cage of Death 7, Dragon beat Ruckus for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship. During the match, he gave Blackout manager Robbie Merino, who was already injured previously by Super Dragon, a Curb Stomp onto the stage. At the next show, An Afternoon of Main Events, Dragon teamed with the Kings of Pro-Wrestling (who were also feuding with Blackout) in a six man tag team match against Blackout, which turned into a brawl. Super Dragon lost the title back to Ruckus in February 2006 in a match also involving Kevin Steen. | |||
[edit] Ring of Honor | |||
The first time Super Dragon appeared in Ring of Honor at Do or Die II on March 13, 2004, when he defeated Excalibur. He would reapire two years later in 2006 as a part of Combat Zone Wrestling during their feud with ROH. Along with many other CZW wrestlers, he helped beat down B.J. Whitmer at Arena Warfare. At ROH's 100th Show, Dragon was part of Team CZW along with Chris Hero and Necro Butcher as they defeated Team ROH of Samoa Joe, BJ Whitmer, and Adam Pearce. This match saw Dragon hit a Psycho Driver on Whitmer from the apron to the floor through a table. Dragon lost his last match in ROH to BJ Whitmer when Whitmer gave him a Top rope Exploder '98 through a table on the floor. | |||
[edit] Pro Wrestling Guerrilla | |||
Super Dragon is one of the six owners of SoCal promotion Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, collectively known as the "PWG Six". At PWG's debut show on July 26, 2003, Super Dragon defeated M-Dogg 20. The next two PWG shows featured the Badass Mother 3000 tournament to determine the first PWG Championship. Super Dragon got to the semifinals, but was eliminated by Joey Ryan. In 2004, PWG held another tournament, the Tango & Cash Invitational to crown tag team champions. This time, Super Dragon made it to the finals with partner American Dragon, but lost to the team of Homicide and B-Boy. | |||
Super Dragon was one of the original members of the S.B.S. stable along with Disco Machine and Excalibur. At PWG...The Musical, Dragon and Excalibur won the tag team titles from Chris Bosh and Quicksilver. They became the first team to successfully defend the titles, but later lost them to Joey Ryan and Scott Lost. At Free Admission (Just Kidding), Super Dragon beat Frankie Kazarian to win the PWG Championship. He defended the title against Samoa Joe, Homicide, Kevin Steen, and others, and lost it to AJ Styles at All Star Weekend - Night Two. | |||
At Uncanny X-Mas after Dragon's match with Jonny Storm, a second Super Dragon came to the ring and attacked the real Super Dragon by delivering some of Super Dragon's signature moves. This man attacked again at All Nude Review, and just a few months later at Jason Takes PWG, Excalibur revealed himself as the mastermind of the attacks and defeated Super Dragon in a Guerrilla Warfare match with help from Kevin Steen, who was the second Super Dragon. Excalibur and Disco Machine kicked Dragon out of S.B.S. and replaced him with Steen. This began a feud between Steen and Dragon. At Chanukah Chaos (The C's Are Silent), Kevin Steen (who had won the PWG Championship from AJ Styles), was defending the title against Joey Ryan. During the match, Super Dragon came out and gave Steen two Psycho Drivers, causing him to lose the title. The feud ended in a Guerrilla Warfare match, in which Super Dragon came out victorious. | |||
Super Dragon was forced to team with Davey Richards to challenge for the tag team titles against El Generico and Human Tornado at After School Special. Working well together as a team, Dragon and Richards managed to win the titles. They had a dominant reign and defeated many teams, such as Excalibur and Disco Machine, Cape Fear, Los Luchas, Kings of Wrestling, Roderick Strong and Jack Evans, and A. J. Styles and Christopher Daniels. Scott Lost and Chris Bosh defeated them for the titles at Enchantment Under The Sea. That night, Joey Ryan gave Super Dragon a Moustache Ride through a stack of tables and put him out of action. | |||
Super Dragon returned to PWG on September 2nd as a participant in the Battle of Los Angeles tournament. On the first night, he defeated Necro Butcher, and on the second, he defeated Frankie Kazarian and Jack Evans. He advanced to the finals, but was unable to compete in the finals due to injuries he sustained in the previous night. Davey Richards would go on to win the tournament, but instead of wanting a World title shot, he wanted a rematch for the tag titles. The match was set to take place at Self Titled, but a conflict prevented Richards from being at the show. Instead of waiting for Richards to return, Super Dragon chose B-Boy as his partner and they went on to defeat Chris Bosh and Scott Lost for the championship. On November 17, 2006, Richards won the PWG World Tag Team Championship for a second time, teaming up with Roderick Strong to defeat the champions, B-Boy and Super Dragon. The next night, in the Main Event of the show, the duo lost the belt to the men they'd won them from. The match also included the Kings of Wrestling, as well as the team of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. Dragon won the match for his team after a Psycho Driver on Richards, showing the beginning signs of a feud between the two. | |||
Soon after, Dragon and B-Boy lost the tag team titles to Cape Fear, and split as a tag team for the time being. Since then, Dragon has suffered defeats at the hands of Ronin in a singles match, and a pinfall by Los Luchas in a tag team match. Dragon broke his ankle, and is currently on the injured list. | |||
