I've never heard of this guy. Now, I think I'm a fan in a very cynical way.

Critical Ass Pro Wrestling Corporation....Well congrats TNA, you no longer have the dumbest company name in professional wrestling. Sounds like something Chris Jericho would've said in late 90's WCW.

I love how much of a mark for himself Brimstone is. I will give him credit for how active he is in trying to get his name out there, but when he goes to such lengths that he lists every little achievement or project ("I did a blog about places I eat at, I guess that makes me a food critic") he comes off as an attention-seeking wannabe.

I highly doubt he's an actor, author, philanthropist, food critic and comic book/animated/video game/children’s book hero but if he was he'd be awesome. I think he is all of those things, but because his extensive hustle is all really small time, he feels the need to list EVERY SINGLE THING to seem like a bigger star than he really is.

Being in the acting industry this is relatively common where you use your writing ability to make yourself seem more professional, likable etc but the key to this is being 100% truthful. I can't fault him for being on Wikipedia because to be honest it probably helps him get bookings and he's an indy guy so that's helpful. But appearing at a Comic Con where people pay for your autograph? Come on... Then you have the amusing claims of him being an actor, artist, food critic etc etc. It's all a lie for him to mark out for himself but people are always going to believe it and think he's a somebody. I really feel for the father or mother who go to the Allentown Comic Book Convention and pick their kid up a wrestling autograph of Brimstone. As for his acting roles. Most of them consist of internet web shows or very small parts in micro budget Feature Films. Not an Actor. Here's his IMDB page. It's pretty funny: www.imdb.com/name/nm2620244/

He looks like the bassist for an opening band at a Coal Chamber concert.

The IMDB...HAHA. I didn't get the ketchup commercial at all...Is it supposed to show that the squeeze bottle is easier to use than the glass bottle? Is it supposed to show that you can beat up the squeeze bottle and it won't be destroyed. Looks like one of those Richard Karn commercials where the hose won't kink. I feel like I'm missing some context of the background story to the commercial. ...holds up hamburger and points

Custom boots guys.... CUSTOM BOOTS When I scrolled through past the boots, I had to compose myself because I started laughing so hard. Then I laughed again when I saw this response.

I like that he was "on WWF Superstars." What was he? Guy in row XX. doing a little digging he was involved in an MTV/WWE crossover thing for basically what was the prototype for Tough Enough on TRL Where they had a bunch of indy wrestlers compete I'm assuming for a contract he and his buddy apparently made it "to the finals" but neither won somehow... They apparently used something from that show on Superstars that Brimstone was seen. So like most of htis... yeah he's not lying he was on WWF Superstars... not wrestling or even in the arena... but he was on it...

The first time I ever saw anything of him was on Wrestler's Rescue. She did two conventions in the same day at two different venues in Pennsylvania. I got a couple autographs from her and IIRC she did two photos with me and Lance Storm for free. Very nice IMO though the horror stories about WR I wouldn't not deny.
Anyway, I went on the WR and they had some wrestlers available for bookings. It was some big names too with the ones I remember being Nikolai, Superfly, Mick Foley and...Brimstone. I scrolled down and said "...THE HECK IS THAT?"

People can hope for Sting vs Taker at Wrestlemania all they want... But, I would be overjoyed with Taker vs BRIMSTONE at Over the Limit.

He was managed by Bobby McFerrin? The "Don't Worry Be Happy" guy?

I don't think there is any one person who has (apparently) done more who is LESS well known than Brimstone. Seriously, it makes him sound like Kayne West, Bobby Flay, Donald Trump Incorporated and yet a one hit wonder youtube poster gets more TV time than he does. LOL. It looks like his wiki was edited. It used to be much longer, had a whole section about how he is compared to Undertaker, has custom boots and much more. Plus...Jimmy Jack Funk, Mike Adamle, Tom Zenk??? Also, he put over his ring for having a WCW style trap door!

Brimstone deserves a job in the WWE.
Writing Wrestler Bios & completing their wiki pages.

He looks like the guy playing the dungeon master in that RPG movie, where the game gets taken over by a hipster.
