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.
