The Wall

On July 12, 1997, the Wall, as Hell Raiser, made his Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) debut, facing Balls Mahoney in a losing effort. On October 9, 1998, Hell Raiser teamed with Tommy Rogers in a winning effort against The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Big Guido).

He debuted in World Championship Wrestling in 1999 as a bodyguard for Berlyn, then later moved to the singles division. The Wall and Berlyn had a feud with Vampiro and Jerry Only. The feud led to Mayhem where Berlyn and Vampiro fought in a chain match, which Berlyn lost after The Wall walked out.

The Wall vanished for a while until returning at Souled Out, where he defeated Billy Kidman in a cage match. For a while, The Wall had an ongoing feud with Kidman and Vampiro. The Wall took on The Demon at SuperBrawl, where The Wall beat The Demon. The Wall then feuded with Bam Bam Bigelow, who was angry after The Wall developed a sadistic streak and attacked younger wrestlers, including David Flair and Crowbar. This led to Uncensored, where the Wall and Bigelow fought in a match where the Wall put Bigelow through a table. Crowbar and Flair tried to get revenge on The Wall, but he gave Crowbar a chokeslam off a 20-foot-high platform, sending Crowbar through the stage.

In April 2000, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo restarted WCW and vacated all of the titles. The Wall entered the WCW United States Championship tournament, and at Spring Stampede, he faced Scott Steiner. He lost, however, when he accidentally chokeslamed a referee through a table and another referee came and disqualified The Wall. He then entered into a short feud with Shane Douglas that led to a tables match between them at The Great American Bash, which Douglas won.

The Wall then disappeared again for a while until returning with a new look. Joining the stable The Misfits in Action, a military group that was led by General Hugh G. RectionLieutenant LocoCorporal CajunMajor Stash and Major Gunns, he was renamed Sgt. A.W.O.L. (occasionally spelled "Sgt. A-Wall"). The group had various stable feuds with 3 CountThe Natural Born Thrillers and Team Canada.

At the start of 2001, The MIA had issues involving Gen. Rection and Lt. Loco, and they led the group to break up. This led to Sgt. A.W.O.L. going back to his old character The Wall. The Wall and Hugh Morrus then had a short feud, which led into SuperBrawl Revenge, where Morrus defeated The Wall. After the feud with Morrus, The Wall appeared sporadically in WCW, and wasn't involved in the final episode of Nitro.

After WCW was bought out by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), The Wall signed a contract with the company in March 2001. He was later given his release before making his debut.

On December 6, 2003, the Wall passed away.
