Kelly Warren Wolfe (born December 7, 1973) is an American retiredprofessional wrestler. Wolfe is perhaps best known for his appearances with theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF) andExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) under thering nameWolfie D (as one-half of thetag teamPG-13), as well as for his appearances withTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring nameSlash (as a member of thestable theDisciples of The New Church).[2] He is a formerNWA World Tag Team Champion and one-half of the reigning Traditional Championship Wrestling tag team champions.[4]
Wolfe got his start inJerry Lawler'sUnited States Wrestling Alliance (USWA) and soon allied himself withJ. C. Ice, forming atag team with awhiterapper gimmick known as PG-13. The team won theUSWA Tag Team Championship on fifteen occasions. In 1996, PG-13 lost aLoser Leaves Town match against Ice's father,"Superstar" Bill Dundee. Shortly thereafter, a new masked tag team known as "The Cyberpunks" (Fire and Ice) appeared, which was really PG-13 in disguise. After a number of attempts to unmask them failed, they unmasked themselves upon having PG-13 reinstated into the USWA. During 1995 made appearances in Puerto Rico of theWorld Wrestling Council
In 1995, PG-13 began wrestling occasional matches in theWorld Wrestling Federation (WWF).[5] The following year, they joined theNation of Domination stable. They rapped to introduce the stable before matches, but they did not actually wrestle during this period.[6] They also appeared inExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), competing against the team ofMikey Whipwreck andSpike Dudley and unsuccessfully challengingBuh Buh Ray andD-Von Dudley for theECW Tag Team Championship atHardcore Heaven in 1997.[7] In 2000, the team appeared for a few months inWorld Championship Wrestling, competing against the Yung Dragons and3 Count.
After splitting from Ice, Wolfie worked in the Memphis area with his accomplice, the helmeted driver known only as the Getaway Guy. Wolfie performed particularly evil misdeeds in the ring and would immediately head for the back of the arena, where his Wolf Mobile, a bright yellow Mustang drag car racer waited. The Getaway Guy, dressed in black leather and wearing a black helmet that could not be seen into, waited with the motor running. Wolfie would leap into the car and they would drive out of the arena parking lot, well ahead of any wrestler chasing them. It was later revealed that the Getaway Guy was manager Nick Nitros.
Wolfie overhauled his gimmick in 2001, bulking up, developing an imposinggoth look, and changing his ring name to Slash. He signed with World Wrestling Federation (WWF) developmental territoryOhio Valley Wrestling, where he was part of a gothic stable known as the Disciples of Synn, which included fellow membersLeviathan (Batista) andBane (Tyson Tomko).
After failing to be called up to the main WWF roster, Slash moved toTotal Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in late 2002, where he joined a similar stable calledThe New Church, led byFather James Mitchell. The group engaged in a long running feud from 2002 to 2003 againstRaven and his"Gathering", with many bloody hardcore style matches between them. After a long run at the tag team titles withBrian Lee, Slash frequently teamed with Church membersShane Douglas andSinn to face Raven,CM Punk, andJulio Dinero. Slash's final appearance for TNA was in March 2004, a loss in a tag team tournament with partner Sinn to the team ofKid Kash andDallas.
In 2012, Wolfe opened aprofessional wrestling school, "Wolfie D's House of Champions", inNashville, Tennessee.[8] On March 5, 2013, Slash and Sinn appeared atTNA One Night Only Hardcore Justice 2. The Disciples of the New Church were defeated byLatin American Xchange (Hernandez &Homicide). He also currently wrestles in Traditional Championship Wrestling as Cerebus teaming with storyline brother, Roosevelt, as the Hounds of Hell. AtSlammiversary, on June 19, 2022, Slash, managed byFather James Mitchell, made an unannounced appearance as a participant in theReverse Battle Royal, which he failed to win as he was eliminated quickly.[9][10]
1Records are unclear as to which promotion he wrestled for when he and Flanagan won the championship.
