Austin Watson / Creed

Austin Watson was born September 4, 1986 in Columbus, Georgia. He is better known by his ring name Creed and is an American professional wrestler.
His gimmick is based on the character Apollo Creed from the Rocky movie series.
Creed is currently signed with TNA Wrestling.

Creed appeared at TNA Wrestling's Bound For Glory pay-per-view event, teaming with Ron Killings as the replacement for Adam "Pacman" Jones. Creed wrestled under the name Rasheed Lucius "Consequences" Creed. His union with Ron Killings was made to be a play on words (Ron "The Truth" Killings + Rasheed Lucius "Consequences" Creed = Truth and Consequences).

On October 21, 2007, it was reported that Austin Creed had signed a contract with TNA. The signing was reported when Creed appeared on the radio show Trash Talking Radio on October 23 with Tommy Cairo and Sabian. His signing was also confirmed later at a NWA Anarchy show where Creed was presented the contract by TNA Booking Director Bill Behrens.Following Bound For Glory, Creed was not seen on TNA television for months after Ron Killings asked and was later granted his release from the company.

On February 10, 2008, Creed wrestled in a dark match before Against All Odds. He teamed with Sonjay Dutt defeating the Rock 'n Rave Infection. On the March 13 edition of Impact! a promo video with the words "prepare to face the consequences" showed Creed training and announced that he would make his return at the Lockdown pay-per-view on April 13 in Lowell, Massachusetts. The following week the return date was changed to April 10. On the April 10th edition of Impact!, Creed made his in-ring return and defeated Jimmy Rave of the Rock 'n Rave Infection, thus qualifying for the Xscape match at Lockdown. Creed would enter into the Six Sides of Steel and perform the Creed-DT on Shark Boy to eliminate him from the match. His fortune would later change as he would be eliminated by Curry Man in the match. Creed would later wrestle in the first ever TerrorDome match at Sacrifice. Though he would be unsuccessful as it would be won by Kaz. Creed would get a "TNA Heavyweight Championship Match" against Booker T on the July 17th 2008 edition of TNA iMPACT in a Stretcher Match but was unsuccessful.

Booker T was not however, champion but had taken possession of the belt from Samoa Joe at Victory Road TNA management Jim Cornette had offically stated Samoa Joe was still champion, therefore a win for Creed would not have rewarded him with the TNA Heavyweight Championship.

" Showtime" Eric Young, Part 3

Since the debut of TNA on Spike TV in October 2005, Young has adopted a new character who is highly paranoid and afraid of almost anything and anybody. The character was introduced at the mock funeral staged by Planet Jarrett and their associates for Team 3D on the October 15, 2005 episode of iMPACT!, when Young was startled after Abyss crushed a box of tissues that were offered to him, and then speculated that the funeral parlour was haunted by a ghost named "Katie" (a tongue-in-cheek reference to the WWE "Katie Vick" storyline). The simplest things began to frighten Young, including the pyrotechnics that accompany Team Canada's entrance.

The character has drawn comparisons to South Park characters Tweek and Butters, and has often been used for comic relief. During an interview about the World X-Cup by So Cal Val during TNA Global iMPACT!, Young stated "Foreigners frighten me. They're from other countries, and I don't know how to deal with that."

However, although Young may be paranoid, he is not necessarily always wrong. Two weeks after Sting and Christian Cage defeated Jeff Jarrett and Monty Brown at TNA Final Resolution 2006, Sting made his iMPACT! debut and announced his retirement. Jarrett wasted no time in pointing out that "after one match with me, Sting took his ball and went home", and most of Planet Jarrett agreed with that assessment. However, Young became convinced that Sting was not gone, and raised the ire of Jarrett and Scott D'Amore by frequently expressing that belief. In an attempt to persuade Young that Sting had left, Jarrett commissioned Alex Shelley to obtain footage of Sting at home with his children; however, this failed to allay Young's fears. He insisted that Sting would come back and get each of them, he would even go as far as to insist that the fellow Planet Jarrett members should not call him by his nickname "Showtime" any more, due to Sting's catchphrase "It's showtime, folks!".

Young lost to Sting in the main event of the April 13, 2006 episode of iMPACT!.

Young's paranoia did not always hinder his abilities during a match. He remained aggressive (even putting people through a table), would not hesitate to cheat, and was not afraid to capitalize on outside interference. He continued to be aided by Team Canada and Planet Jarrett.

When Jim Cornette became the new face of management in TNA and said someone would be fired, Young was afraid it would be him. He was seen on iMPACT! holding a up a sign in the crowd that read "Don't fire Eric Young" as the fans chanted "Don't fire Eric!" along with him. On the June 29 episode of iMPACT!, Young wrestled like a classic babyface out of fear of being fired, and tried to prevent his fellow Canadians from doing anything underhanded. Cornette announced later that night Team Canada was now disbanded, but Young was more happy than upset because it was Earl Hebner who got fired, not Young. On the July 14 episode of iMPACT!, Team Canada lost an "all or nothing" match (their only chance to stay together), keeping Team Canada disbanded.

At Victory Road, Team Canada joined together in the ring for one last time. After running through how he felt about each member, Scott D'Amore stopped at Eric Young. He then blamed Eric for their demise and made him strip of any Team Canada items as they were no more. Scott D'Amore then said that he believed Eric Young would still be fired as he was to blame for Team Canada's end. Eric then remained in the ring after the others had left and began a secret petition with the fans to keep his job. He would soon start being announced from "An Undisclosed Location". Young continued to be worried about his job security, creating his own "Don't Fire Eric" shirts.

Young's paranoia proved warranted yet again as he was fired on the October 5 episode of iMPACT after being hit with a golf club by Larry Zbyszko causing Young to lose a "Loser gets fired" match. However, due to Zbyszko's interference, Jim Cornette gave Young a chance to get his job back by facing Larry Zbyszko in a "Loser Gets Fired" match at Bound for Glory 2006. Young won and got his job back.

" Showtime" Eric Young, Part 2

Team Canada began feuding with The Naturals and Lance Hoyt, with Young, Roode and A-1 defeating Hoyt and The Naturals at TNA No Surrender 2005 on July 17. America's Most Wanted formed a loose alliance with The Naturals against Team Canada, with Young, Roode, Williams and A-1 defeating The Naturals and America's Most Wanted at TNA Sacrifice on August 14. After Williams renewed his pursuit of the TNA X Division Championship, Young began teaming with A-1 on a regular basis. At TNA Unbreakable on September 11, Young and A-1 faced America's Most Wanted, Alex Shelley and Johnny Candido and defending champions The Naturals in a four way tag match. Young was able to pin both Candido and "Wildcat" Chris Harris, but Team Canada lost the match after Chase Stevens managed to pin A-1.

At Bound for Glory 2005 on October 23, Young, A-1 and Bobby Roode defeated the 3Live Kru. After the match, their attempts to beat down Konnan were foiled by Kip James. Later that night, Team Canada foiled an attempt by 3Live Kru to save Rhino from a beating at the hands of Planet Jarrett, then helped Jarrett place Rhino in a casket which they had brought to ringside. However, as Team Canada and Planet Jarrett celebrated, Team 3D entered the ring and, with the help of the now recovered 3Live Kru, drove Planet Jarrett and Team Canada from the ring. Young, who had been standing atop the casket, was hit with a 3D by Team 3D. He was then thrown into the casket in the place of Rhino, who in turn stood atop the casket, celebrating his earlier victory for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship over Jeff Jarrett. As a result of the events of Bound For Glory, Young, Roode and A-1 faced the 3Live Kru in a rematch at TNA Genesis on November 13. Team Canada lost the match after Ron Killings pinned Young. The long-running feud between Team Canada and the 3Live Kru ended at TNA Turning Point 2005 on December 11 when Young, Williams, Roode and A-1 defeated the Kru and Kip James (the "4Live Kru") after Konnan turned on his teammates.

Christian Cage

William Jason (Jay) Reso (born November 30, 1973), is a Canadian professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Christian Cage. He is currently performing for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, where he is the reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

He is also very well known for his work in World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment known just as Christian. Reso initially rose through the ranks as one half of the tag team Edge and Christian, alongside his kayfabe brother and real-life longtime friend Edge.

Reso debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling at Genesis 2005 pay-per-view under his original ring name, Christian Cage. After teasing an alliance with longtime friend Scott D'Amore and Team Canada, he delivered an Unprettier to D'Amore and helped Team 3D drive Jeff Jarrett through a table.

Cage made his iMPACT! debut on November 19, 2005, engaging in a verbal sparring bout and then brawling with "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown. Cage's in-ring debut for TNA was a win against Team Canada's enforcer Bobby Roode. He defeated Brown at Turning Point to become the number one contender to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. At Final Resolution 2006, Cage and the returning Sting defeated Monty Brown and Jeff Jarrett.

On February 12, 2006 at Against All Odds 2006, Cage defeated Jarrett to win his first World title, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

On April 2, Cage entered into a feud with Abyss after a series of kayfabe videos showed Abyss and his manager James Mitchell stalking Cage's wife and entering his house. They feuded until Lockdown 2006 at which Cage successfully retained his title, but Abyss attacked him after the match and took the title belt. They continued against each other until Sacrifice 2006 where Christian regained his belt, and the championship, in a Full Metal Mayhem match.

Cage defended the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Abyss, Ron "The Truth" Killings, Jeff Jarrett, and Sting in a King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary 2006. The match was declared unofficial due to the intervening of Larry Zbyszko and referee Earl Hebner at the end of the match when Zbyszko and Hebner snatched the belt and helped Jarrett win. As a result of the finish, the belt was stripped away and declared vacant until Jim Cornette held a "company meeting" on the June 29 iMPACT!, where Cornette awarded the belt back to Jarrett on the condition that he defend it against the winner of a Fatal four way match at Victory Road 2006 involving Christian Cage, Samoa Joe, Scott Steiner, and Sting.

At Hard Justice 2006, Cage watched the Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett match from ringside, supposedly backing his friend Sting. However, at the end of the match, he hit Sting with a guitar, thus turning heel.

Immediately following his actions, Cage would be questioned by Rhino. This would eventually lead to a confrontation between the two, as Cage claimed anger and betrayal at Rhino's questioning of his motives and loyalties, and then gave him the con-chair-to. Christian defeated Rhino at No Surrender 2006 after an Unprettier onto a steel chair. At Bound For Glory 2006, Cage earned another victory over Rhino in an 8 Mile Street Fight.

On the TNA iMPACT! prime time debut, Cage faced off against Rhino in the first-ever Barbed Wire Six Sides of Steel match (a conventional Six Sides of Steel match, only with barbed wire bordering the top of the cage). Christian Cage won when Rhino gored Cage with so much momentum, it sent Cage through the side of the cage and onto the floor. Christian then went on to defeat A.J. Styles at Genesis 2006. The next week on iMPACT!, Christian was reunited with his old 'Problem Solver' from WWE, Tomko, who made his debut in TNA attacking Sting during Christian and Sting's match.

At Final Resolution 2007, Cage captured his second NWA World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Abyss (c) and Sting in a Three Way Elimination Match.
