Whatever this was, no one but this goof and his friends ever called it that. God, this thing is so entertaining in the worst way possible.

The entire section his gimmick as facepalm-worthy. {Spoiler}The Brimstone gimmick has evolved over the years. Brimstone credits his favorite wrestling icons, "Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Ultimate Warrior," as the inspiration for the backbone of the character. In the beginning, he states that the evolution of Brimstone came from a mixture of all three unique qualities in what he claims are, “darkness, charisma, and pure insanity.” Aside from looking for a name that would be, “memorable and marketable”, he is unsure of the actual reason why he chose the name itself. As he says, “I just loved it and figured I could be a cool demonic character!” The gimmick began simply as Brimstone played the big man role. He felt that his original look was far less than intimidating than his current image. Brimstone was originally clean-shaven and wore wrestling sneakers and a black singlet adorned with airbrushed flames. Brimstone says, “I was no more than a wrestler that claimed to be from Hell.”[22][29]
As Brimstone grew into the character, the persona began to develop along with the look. He took on more of a gothic look and incorporated his custom boots. He modeled his character to become fiercer and his attitude to become rougher. Brimstone became less of a man and more of a monster in the ring, and in his interviews he became grittier and raw. Aside from his size, his look made Brimstone a focal point in a match and solidified him as a fan favorite in different promotions, which promoters loved. Although Brimstone is a “heel”, he claims to be a “tweener” or “anti-hero” and is normally made into a “face” by the fans (similar to Demolition, Road Warriors, Steve Austin). In the ring, Brimstone the character is a, "dark entity that embodies destruction. Brimstone is a no nonsense character who will normally go out and dominate a match."[22][29] Brimstone states, "I'm the kind of character now who is an unstoppable force in the ring where I'll go in and I'll clean house."[33]

The page where various people try to shoot down the page is funny, as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brimstone_(wrestler)#.23My favorite thing on there is the guy who says "As my daddy used to say, you can stack cow-patties a mile high and they still never become a pot of gold." I'm totally stealing that line. :-)

Also, I love the disparity between comic book Brimstone: and real life Brimstone: Now THAT'S comedy.

I think its hilarious that he possibly wrote this on his own but to play devils advocate i say good for him...He may not be Bret Hart but he lived a dream stepping inside that ring...Ive done 2 tours in Iraq and the greatest thing that ive ever done is wipe my feet and step inside the squared circle at tribute to the troops...Its small and its callous and he may never amount to anything besides being a mark for himself but atleast he can say that he knows the show

The comments on the wikipedia site are tremendous, how people are taking it so seriously and deconstructing portions of the listing. And as wrestling fans they should take it seriously that he has such a large page. I especially like how one noted Triple H as an example of someone who's page is smaller than Brimstone's.

Here's the thing: As a member of the vaunted IWC, I know quite a bit about seeing people overreact. We, as a community, have nothing on wiki editors. Those people are insane.

"William M. Kucmierowski (born August 22, 1974) is an American professional wrestler, actor, author, mark, and philanthropist who is better known by his shortened name Will Kaye or his ring name, Brimstone."
Nice; that part won't last but still, well done

Triple H doesn't need a wikipedia page to boast his greatness. He just needs a microphone.

His Internet movie database (IMDB) looks just as long. My favorite is seeing the name "the original" Gino Caruso as if whoever Gino Caruso is he has so many people using his name/pretending to be him. LOL. I do like reading some of his "philanthropy" work as I like volunteering and helping others but I think his being put over so highly (by whoever wrote the pieces) is what gets some unsuspecting dreamers into trouble with bad promoters or bad trainers. I'm not saying he is one but people can be starstruck into being conned by wrestlers who are put over so highly even if they meant nothing much to the business.

I will admit I've never herd of this guy before reading this thread and after reading his wiki page I can't help but feel that this guy is the indy wrestling equivalent of wannabe socialite type chicks who hope that people will notice them by going to clubs and trying to hang out semi famous people.
Also I can't help but after reading that wiki that there is a good chance that he is not a good wrestler at all???

Just watched a match with him(I could tell it was him because his "distinctive custom boots" ;D ) and.....he was okay. Not terrible, but far from great. He tends to go for big moves where they shouldn't go in the flow of the match, his attempts to work the crowd basically end at throwing his arms up and shouting "C'MON!", and he doesn't move as well as he could. If I had to give him an "out of ten" grade, he's a 4.

His EWR stats are:
Brawl: 40 Speed: 1 Tech: 2 Charisma: 31
Granted that is fan speculated, but it shows what some people think.
