Background Information:
Sometimes, we are forced to remember the past, even if what happened eats away at you every moment of the day. For what does not kill us, inevitably makes us stronger. Such is the story of Troy Douglas. Born 7th June, 1976, in Greensboro, NC, Douglas' mother died soon after childbirth, and thusly Troy was raised by his father, a prep school history teacher and basketball coach. Excelling in athletics from a young age, Troy parlayed this into a football scholarship to Syracuse University and later, a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

However, in the last game of his 1998 rookie season, Douglas suffered a freak back injury on the infamous Veterans Stadium AstroTurf that forced him into early retirement. But, in July of 1999, Douglas found a new way to return to active competition.

As a wrestling fan from an early point in his life, especially having grown up in Greensboro, one of the meccas of the business, Troy knew of multi-continent star Jason "The Ice Dragon" Reed. But, he never knew that Reed was the estranged father of Chris Farmer, a close friend and former teammate of Troy's back at SU. After meeting Douglas, Reed was impressed by the youngster's natural athleticism, and saw a way back into the wrestling business. He helped Troy rehabilitate his back as well as training him in the techniques of the mat.

In February of 2000, Troy, under the alias Scorpion, made his pro wrestling debut for EFW, quickly skyrocketing up the promotion's ranks before capturing his first World Title. Of course, this is a story of loss, and the company's for which Troy worked had a tendency to fold under economic pressure.

In 2002, Troy signed on with Global X-Treme Wrestling, where he first used his real name in the ring. He quickly became a mainstay in the mid-card, having memorable matches with Cole Steele and, in his first major victory over a big name superstar, Gemini.

But, as he was getting to the height of his fame, tragedy reared her ugly head once more in the tune of two more devastating deaths. His father, Jack, and his fiancee, Lauren Bennett, were both shot during an attempted break-in at Troy's Greensboro home. Troy, in Scotland with GXW at the time, nearly went over the edge that night and came close, for the first of two times, to committing suicide.

Able to turn his rage against the world towards his opponents, Douglas went on a tear in GXW, taking opponents like Rob Sampson, Dan Ryan, and Kevin Powers to their limits before his ability to focus ran out on him. However, in March of 2003 at Genesis, Douglas won a ten man battle royal to capture the GXW X-treme Title.

But, the pressure became to great. After dropping the title to David Black, Douglas returned to North Carolina and collapsed into himself, withdrawing from the world. This, however, is where our story turns. Troy was lost without his in-ring competition, but was in no shape at this point to return. So, with a fervor, he spent months rehabilitating his worn body and crushed psyche in preparation for his return.

In December 2003, he returned to GXW, and in Februry 2004 he culminated his comeback by regaining the X-treme Championship, which he still holds.

Completing his comeback, Douglas branched out in early 2004 to several different promotions, signing on with EPW, NEW, and lastly fulfilling a lifelong dream by inking a CSWA contract. Since returning, he has had many memorable matches with Clapper, Jonathan Marx, Adam Benjamin, Christian Sands, and Karl Brown. After defeating Brown at EPW's Unleashed PPV, Douglas earned the number one contendership to the World Title and is now on a collision course with Beast, one of his fiercest rivals.

The past will fuel us, for it can do us no more harm than it already has.
