Background Information:
HellFighter is a very open born again Christian. He is far from the word, "religious", but he has a relationship with God and he desires to grow in him daily. In fact, HellFighter hates the word. When HellFighter first entered then MWC (Multi Wrestling Championships which later became EWI/GXW), he knew that he would be taking a huge risk by being immediately open with his faith; however he took the chance anyway. HellFighter's faith has never been about the typical, "making a failed gimmick go over" His faith is his identity. His faith in God in his strength. It's who he is, and what he will become. He has struggled with it in pro wrestling all throughout his career. He even tried to turn his back on it, but he only found out that he needed it even more. He realizes, like the sands on the shore or stars in the sky that he must keep turning to God no matter what. HellFighter never tries to put himself over at someone else's expense, but people still feel threatened by his dispositions on life and God. HellFighter's career has always been flawed and tarnished. His past demons continue to plague him even to the day. If there is one thing that he tries to preach against it's to "forsake the past and enter the future with unexpectency". HellFighter has repented of his ways, asked for forgiveness, but who has TRULY forgiven him? HellFighter's entire career, let alone his life, has been an entire career. Filled with joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies, victories and defeats. He has always tried to approach his life and his matches with a sense of humilty and respect.

HellFighter has been wrestling almost his entire life. Wrestled in elementary and middle school, high school, and then all through college. He has acheived countless individual medals and trouphies all throughout his amature wrestling career. In high school; he was a three time Missouri state wrestling qualifier, and a two time Missouri state champion in his weight class his juinor and senior year. Graduated from high school, went to college at the University of Iowa under former Olymipic gold medalist and head coach, Dan Gable. There he was a three time NCAA National qualifier, and National Champion his Senior year in his weight class. From there, he was inducted onto the 1996 Olympic team to represent the United States in Atlanta, Georgia in wrestling, as an alternate. He did not wrestle, but he was there. He got to know and eventually became friends with the man who would later on win the gold medal, despite having a broken neck by the name of Kurt Angle. That man would later go to the WWE. Shortly after Angle had made his huge sucesses in the WWE, it wasn't long for word to get around. Hoping to duplicate on WWE's success with Angle, J.W. Locke, then owner of the MWC had recruited Shutt to be their version of Kurt Angle. Shutt jumped at the opportunity and signed a contract right away. Shortly after Shutt signed, Mr Locke had sold the MWC to Erik Zeiba and Randy Harders. This turned the MWC into the EWI. Zeiba liked Shutt and wanted him to stay on, but felt that WWE needed to stay in WWE and EWI should stay separate from McMahon's organization. Zeiba saw that there was more talent in Shutt and told him not to limit himself to technical wrestling. Be flexible and versiltile. Take risk. At the last MWC PPV show Genesis, the birth of the EWI. We saw what Hellfighter could do as he became known as "The high flying big man" A big man who can hit aerial moves better than most cruiserweights. HellFighter went on in EWI to capture the EWI Intercontinental title and the EWI world title and had some very memorable feuds and matches. Then in 2001, the EWI and Chad Dupree's Nthwa merged to become GXW. It had been a new page in history for HellFighter, but he soon found out that people like living in th past, and it was only a matter of time when his previous mistakes would catch up to him. However HellFighter fights through his past to create his own future. He doesn't care who he pisses off in the process. Until the GXW Fallout PPV, HellFighter thought he was doing the right thing by turning his back on his faith. After his terrible loss (which he classifies as the worst match of his entire career) he realized that he needed his faith in God now more than ever. Even when he turned his back on his God and his few fans in the GXW and the world, his God never turned his back on him. Like the Prodical Son, HellFighter decided to turn 180 degrees from south to north and return in right relationship with his Father in Heaven. HellFighter has turned full circle, and now we get to see what happens next in HellFighter's life in the next chapter of his roller coster career.

HellFighter's wrestling attire consists of: a plain white wrestler's singlet, black elbow pads, his wrists are wrapped in white tape, black fingerless padded gloves, black kneepads, and black with white trim Asaics wrestling shoes.

HellFighter is a tall, very muscular white male. He is built and well proportioned. He has dyed Poprika (dark copper red, looks natural) hair cut into the style of a fade. He has bright blue eyes. For a big man, he has modest good looks and a subtle drawing inner charisma about him.

Enterance: (The lights go completely out, and immediately breaks out with a barrage of white pyrotechnic fireworks that fire into the air to alluminate the darkness followed by one very loud pyro blast.}

*BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOM...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM*

(The GXWtron first shows the name "HellFighter" flash on the sceen with a spike going right in the middle of it to form a cross as it leads into a series of video clips and highlights of "HellFighter" Michael Shutt executing numerous versitile power moves and big man aerial moves on several unknown oponants that flow in sync with the song playing overhead. Intermixing in with the video clips and highlights are little bible verses.)

Jeremiah 29:11...

Isaiah 41:1-4...

Proverbs 18:28...

Isaiah 42:1-4...

Every time I turn my back I get the feeling that
I'm 'bout to take a shot to the skully with a bat
I'm out of control, need you to fill my soul up
And could you shed a little light on the skeletons holed up
My past is taking me to task
And I can't guarantee how much longer I'll last
Without You I'm a hopeless wreck
So I cry out Your name as I drop to the deck

(Finally "HellFigher" Michael Shutt comes out from the back curtain to a nice sincere pop from the crowd. He soaks in the the incoming cheers gracefully from his fans as he begin a little chant directed at him.)

Crowd: HellFighter...HellFighter...HellFighter!"

Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started
Don't get me started, don't even get me started

(HellFighter begins walking down the aisle getting pumped up mentally as well as physically but still trying not to disrespect or ignore the fans by reaching out and high fiving as many outstretched hand he can en route to the ring.)

Tommy King: "Now making his way to the ring. Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri. Standing at 7'0. Weighing in at 300 lbs. He is 'HellFighter' MIchael Shutt!"

I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So take this space between us and fill it up again
I'm Yours
Take me as I am
I'm Yours
So won't you take this space between us and fill it up again

(HellFighter arrives at the ringside area, he jumps up on the ring apron from his standing position and then jump over the ropes and into the ring. HellFighter begins walking to each of the four turnbuckles and soaks in the cheers from the crowd.)

Simple minded little punk
Thought I was the junk
Nobody ever told me that my doo-doo stunk
What was I out of my mind
Or was I just trippin' on an ego
But You filled up the space and You never let me go
Bullseye to the center of my soul
One shot but it rocked like a fatal blow
This love was Your gun, mercy Your shells
Now I'm a dead man walkin' down a skinny trail

(At the final turnbuckle, as the song slowly begins to fade out. HellFighter kneels down at one of the turnbuckles and kneels down where he does a quick prayer before standing up and paces back and forth in the ring ready, willing, and able for the bell to ring and start the match as he awaits for his oponant. The song finally fades out.)

25) An Undertaker old school tight walk on the rope; however, instead of an armwrench club in the back, he springboard jumps off the executing either a flying vertical pedigree (What used to be the nelson sprawl drop), bulldog, or a face crusher. Usually he will execute the facecrusher over any other. He will not execute this move often, but often he will use this for those "Special People"

*26) A Hurricannranna/headsissor takedown. He doesn't hit this move often. In fact it is rarely done. It's another move used for the "special people". It's not always the most pretty thing, but it is a feet in itself just because a man his size can hit it. Sometime after he hits the move, if he lands on top of the guy, he will immediately lead right into some sort of ultimate punching combination or he will lock the guy up in a head and armbar leglock for a submission.

Set up move: See below.

Set up Description: Signature (set up) moves and descriptions:

1) "Crossface Stretch" A submission move. It is a modified STF/Steiner recliner/crippler crossface hybrid variation. While the guy is on his belly, Hellfighter takes both of the guy's legs, crossing them together like an STF and braces the his one far leg against it to hold them in place, then he takes both of the guy's arms, crosses them together right underneath the guy's chin while still holding on the arms like Hellfighter is choking the guy with his oponant's own arms. Then with the other knee, HellFighter presses it into the middle of the guy's back. From there, Hellfighter begins rocking backwards holding the guy's arms for leverage. This move makes it very hard to breath and puts lots of strain on the back, and little bit on the knee too. Not to mention it makes it very hard for the guy to counter or even get to the ropes.

2) "Single Leg Turk" This is another submission move. It is a elevated single leg crab into a WCW Jericho liontamer. He grabs the leg of his oponant like an elevated single leg crab. However he sets the guy up like a lion tamer move where Hellfighter's knee is in the middle of his back, and his lower half of his leg is resting on the back of the oponant's head. From there, Hellfighter just begins to rock back, reeling back on that leg and pressing on the back and neck.

3) "The Bow and Arrow Press" This is another submission move. It is like a bow and arrow lock. However the twist is with this one is that HellFighter doesn't rock back onto his back making his oponant get pressed on his knees while suspended in the air. Instead HellFighter set it up like a Bow and Arrow lock. While his oponant is laying on his belly. HellFighter put both knees in the center of his back. With one hand, he grabs his head, with the other hand he grabs his feet. He then begins pulling up on his legs and head while his body weight is pressed onto the back. This move usually gets set up when Hellfighter does a spear right into the middle of the guy's back.

Pumphandle slam into a pile driver
