Combat Zone Wrestling (2005–2017) Havoc started wrestling in his family's barn with his friends after school. After watching many wrestling tapes and specifically after attending
Combat Zone Wrestling's Cage of Death 6 event, Havoc traveled to
Philadelphia to try out for CZW. After training for a few months, Havoc made his debut in the student battle royal at
Tournament of Death 4 on July 30, 2005. At one point during the match, Havoc was set on fire by Whacks. He made his singles debut at the first annual
Chri$ Ca$h memorial show on September 10, 2005. He defeated fellow CZW Academy graduate Andy Sumner with a
Death Valley driver off the ring apron through a barbed-wire board propped up on two chairs outside the ring. He started a long
feud with
D. J. Hyde that included matches on CZW shows as well as STF (Stars of the Future) and NEXT shows. Havoc finally defeated Hyde at CZW's April 2006 show Any Questions? and, post-match, Hyde threw Havoc off of a balcony through a table. Havoc won the
World Junior Heavyweight Championship at the third annual Chri$ Ca$h memorial show on September 8 by defeating
Joker, Scotty Vortekz, "Diehard" Dustin Lee, and
Drake Younger in a five-way match. On December 1, Havoc made it to the finals of IWA Deep South's
"Carnage Cup" tournament before falling to Freakshow. A week later, on December 8, at CZW's flagship show, Cage of Death, Havoc was the last member of Team CZW left standing on the top of the cage at the end of the big Cage of Death match. Havoc won the
seventh annual
Tournament of Death on May 17, 2008. In the first round, Havoc advanced by beating the Ram in a light tube bundles match. In the semi-finals, Havoc and
Nick Gage advanced by beating Pinkie Sanchez and Greg Excellent in a fans bring the weapons match. In the finals, Havoc was pitted against Drake Younger, Scotty Vortekz, and Nick Gage in a no rope barbed wire 200 light tubes match to a single pinfall. During the match Havoc was chokeslammed on two chairs by
Necro Butcher and was dropped out of the ring by Nick Gage, but his arm caught the barbed wire and was badly cut from his triceps to his armpit. The same year, he also won the IWA Deep South Carnage Cup, advancing over the Juggulator, WHACKS, and beating Nick Gage, Freakshow, and Corey Shaddix in the finals. He was awarded the
Ultraviolent Underground Championship at Decision '08, after then-Champion Drake Younger, who also held the
World Heavyweight Championship gave him the title, following a four-way match. Havoc subsequently dropped the UVU belt to MASADA four months later, and the title has since been retired. From the remains of the Suicide Kings faction, Havoc declared that a new group was to be recognized, which he proclaimed to be "The Nation of Intoxication." This group initially consisted of Havoc, Moore, and Vortekz, who quickly invited Lucky 13 (formerly CULT FICTION's "tHURTeen") to join them. Vortekz departed the group and the company shortly thereafter, but the Nation continued to prosper, eventually winning the
World Tag Team Championship on two occasions, trading them back and forth with heel group, 4LOKO. The Nation became known almost as much for their drunken shenanigans and comical antics as for their trademark daredevil style, punctuated by the core members' ability to combine exciting high-flying maneuvers with the hard-hitting, risk-taking ultraviolent style that CZW has made its name with. Havoc subsequently became a semi-regular mainstay in Big Japan Pro Wrestling, as one of the most consistent representatives of CZW to compete in the legendary deathmatch promotion. On a 2012 tour, Havoc and his frequent travel partner, Drake Younger, represented CZW as participants in BJW's Round Robin Deathmatch Survivor League, the winner of which was to earn a shot at the BJW Deathmatch title. Neither managed to advance far enough to be in title contention. Toward the end of the tour, Havoc and Younger — longtime friends — had a public falling out at the BJW Dojo, in which they came to blows and had to be pulled apart by BJW Dojo members. This sparked a feud between the two that saw the return of long-missing CZW favorite, Scotty Vortekz, who had at different times been tag partners with both men. Vortekz sided with Younger to defeat Havoc and fellow Nation of Intoxication member, Lucky 13. In 2013, Havoc came out the victor in CZW's annual Tournament of Death, advancing over the likes of Rory Mondo and Big Japan Wrestling's young deathmatch prospect, Takumi Tsukamoto, then finally defeating his former friend and partner, Scotty Vortekz, in a 444 Lighttubes Death Match, in which eight-foot fluorescent bulbs were attached to the ropes on all four sides and scattered across the floor of the ring. Despite taking a great deal of punishment in the match, Havoc managed to reverse a top rope maneuver into his patented finisher, the General Order 24, onto a massive pile of bulbs for the pin. This makes Havoc one of only three two-time Tournament of Death champions in its fourteen-year history. Havoc lost to
Rickey Shane Page in an Ultraviolent Hardcore Match at Cage of Death 18. Page pinned Havoc after giving him a top rope powerbomb through a plate of glass. During that event, the Nation of Intoxication dissolved and Havoc went his own way, getting into a feud with Alex Colon. During Tournament of Death 16, Havoc announced his retirement and that he would face off against Alex Colon at Down With The Sickness. At Once In A Lifetime, Havoc took part in a match against
Atsushi Onita and his men from
FMW. Havoc lost his match against Alex Colon to a standing ovation as D. J. Hyde and the locker room cheered for him. It was then confirmed by CZW officials that Havoc had officially retired from professional wrestling.
Return to wrestling (2019–2020) Having come out of retirement at a benefit show for
Matt Tremont's on October 6, 2019, Havoc was named as part of a Tokyo tour promoted by
Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), where he was involved in tag team deathmatches. On February 3, at Live Fast Die Young, Havoc teamed with Tremont and
Isami Kodaka against
Drew Parker, Jimmy Lloyd and
Toshiyuki Sakuda, where Parker missed a 450 splash but Havoc hit him with a death valley driver for the win. On February 4, at Ready to Die, Havoc teamed with Alex Colon against Kodaka and Sakuda, in which Havoc performed a around the world slam, followed by a death valley driver (called a General Order 24) on Kodaka for the win. On February 5, at Art of War, Havoc teamed with Colon and Tremont against Kodaka, Kenji Fukimoto and Takashi Sasaki. Havoc took the pin after Team Japan performed the super double knees off a ladder onto a bundle of light tubes with Havoc underneath. On February 15, at Run Rickey Run, Havoc faced SHLAK in a death match, replacing the injured
Masashi Takeda. Towards the end, Havoc went for a death valley driver but missed the moonsault follow up, allowing SHLAK to hit him with two piledrivers on lighttubes and gusset boards for the win. ==Personal life and death==
