"Don't hate me for being beautiful - hate yourselves for being ugly." That's the catchphrase of the two-time ESW heavyweight champion.

Puma is one of the pioneers of ESW.

While he may come across as arrogant and cocky, but he's a dedicated student of the art of wrestling and a perfectionist in the ring. He religiously adheres to a comprehensive training regimen and high protein, low fat diet.

In his first reign as champion in 2003, he spent the summer beginning the feud that many say made ESW. His long history with Mastiff began in a series of matches from June to December of that year. In one of the most thrilling and wild matches in ESW history, Puma defeated Mastiff in a bloody Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at Meltdown that August. Even Puma's most vocal critics were won over by his intestinal fortitude and determination in that classic contest.

His finishing move of choice in the Jonny on the Spot, his variation of the reverse Russian legsweep. Puma is especially adept at capitalizing on fellow Club Elite members Ice and Randy Walker's distractions and cheating behind the referee's back -- a tactic which never fails to infuriate the fans.

Puma's enduring run as ESW Heavyweight Champion was finally ended by Mastiff at ESW Hardcore Halloween 2003. After losing the belt he held so dear, in February, he formed Club Elite with Ice and the returning Randy Walker, with the sole mission of Club Elite being to regain the championship for Puma.

In his memorable feud with Damien Alexander, he defeated Alexander both times they met in singles matches, by the skin of his teeth. First, with an immense amount of outside inteference from Ice and Walker at ESW Full Throttle 2004. And then, with Ice and Walker banned from ringside in a No-DQ rematch at ESW May-hem when Alexander was destroyed by the ESW debut of Eric Everlast. That match saw Puma bleed buckets as he was punished over and over by Alexander.

After somehow overcoming Damien Alexander and pinning Mastiff in a six-man tag match, Puma earned a shot at the heavyweight title he felt was still his. One year after their TLC match, Puma would get his title match at August's WrestleBash. Mastiff and Puma met in the biggest match of their epic feud, and the most important match in ESW history in the main event of ESW's biggest show ever. It was the most dramatic match ESW fans had ever seen. After Puma first got himself disqualified, Mastiff demanded the match be restarted and come to a conclusion. Mastiff proved to be too brave for his own good, as he risked everything, missing a huge diving headbutt off the top of a ladder, allowing Puma to finally regain the ESW Heavyweight Title.

Puma's first major feud in his second reign as champion was against number-one contender J-Man. At Pilgrims & Piledrivers 2004, Puma stole the match out from under J-Man with the help from new commissioner Clayton T. McAllister. In their rematch at Season's Beatings, Puma escaped with his title in a bloody brawl.
