Brief Life History: Rykopathe used to actually be a simple man. He grew up in a medium suburb outside of Newark, New Jersey. He played football for the high school team, and a bit of baseball. He was never too much into doing homework or anything, but he got by. When he went to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), he had met the woman of his dreams, a girl named Honey. She's not a porn star. She's filipino. They eventually started to date, and soon moved in together. They both graduated from NJIT in 1995, and moved to Vernon, New Jersey. Rykopathe got a job working for the ring crew of a local wrestling federation, named Jersey All-Pro. He never enjoyed the job, but he needed it to get by until he made a career out of computers. One night, in the winter of 1996, Rykopathe was waiting for his fiance to come home from her job. He had received a phone call from a hospital, saying she had gotten into a serious car accident. A truck had slipped on some black ice, and skidded into the opposing lane of traffic, catching her car. Rykopathe couldn't afford to pay the bills. He had no choice but to step into the ring of Jersey All-Pro Wrestling. He debuted against a man named Viscious Vin, who outsized him. But knowing that he could use weapons in this company, he used every possible thing he could find to take the big man down. He won his debut match, and eventually ran up a win streak. He wasn't a fan favorite though, because he got in the ring,wrestled, and left without muttering a word. A month after being brought into the hospital, Honey had passed away in the middle of the night on January 15th, just before Rykopathe could make it to the hospital. He never got to say goodbye or that he loved her. He spent a good three years in his home, out of contact from everyone. He had to take time off to find out what he wanted from his life. Seeing that he was making a good paycheck in the wrestling business, he decided to return to the ring. But not to the J.A.P. He took a plane to the HWF Headquarters and tried out for the Hardcore Wrestling Federation. After a weak tryout, he had a talk with the owner Chaz Manson. He convinced Chaz that he had the heart, but just needed the training. Chaz decided to put him into a small camp for a month. And when he was ready, he would debut in the HWF's return. He debuted in 1999 against The Stinger, a former big name in the HWF. After an amazing debut, he won with a balcony dive through a stack of tables. But he soon learned that it would get harder Weekly, he would get jumped by guy after guy. And in due time, he felt that he needed to make a transition to a more hardcore-based wrestling style. He went on to win the Hardcore Title in one of the most memorable matches in HWF history, the Gates to Hell Match, against Blackjack. He later went on to win the World Title from Michael Trey, and formed theHardcore Revolution. A month later, however, things began to change yet again. Top notch prospects entered the HWF, giving Rykopathe newcompetition. He soon lost his World Title to Extream after a missed 20 foot dive from the HWF-Tron to the floor, during a 4 Pits of Pain Match. He took time off to rethink his wrestling career. A few weeks later, he returned, to see a whole new cast of wrestlers. But he fought on, taking on anybody that got in hispath. One night though, he went bezerk, and attacked everybody, due to the fact that he had been stabbed in the back so often by all of his allies and friends. He ended up in the ring during the main event of the PPV, but was powerbombed off of a double cage by Justin Storm. He spent months in the hospital, changing his view of life. He learned that trust only brought pain, so he stayed away from any friends. During his stay in the hospital, he hired a bodyguard to murder his best friend in fear that he might double cross him as well. He finally got out of the hospital, and left the HWF roster. He soon entered the staff for a short stint, only to realize that where he belongs is the ring. But before entering the HWF again, he took time off to see where he stands. And he came to the conclusion that the whole "I hate life" thing wasn't working for him. So he laced up his boots, threw on the old music, and returned to his old persona, "The Icon" in seek of the only title that he's ever cared for, The World Title.
