Hallowicked

Professional wrestling career[]

Hallowicked received his initial training fromChikara foundersMike Quackenbush andReckless Youth at the Chikara Wrestle Factory, where he was trained on the first term of the school alongside the likes ofUltraMantis Black andIcarus. Hallowicked and Icarus were childhood friends and entered the school with the intention of becoming atag team.

Chikara (2002-2020)[]

Night Shift (2002-2003)[]

Hallowicked made his professional wrestling debut on Chikara's inaugural show on May 25, 2002, as a member of the three manrudo (bad guy)stableNight Shift, with partnersBlind Rage and Ichabod Slayne. In their first professional wrestling match, Hallowicked and Slayne were defeated byMarshal Law andLove Bug in a tag team match. On the second show on May 31 Night Shift picked up their first victory in a six-man tag team match againstDon Montoya and their trainers Mike Quackenbush and Reckless Youth. On November 9 Hallowicked entered Chikara's first everYoung Lions Cup tournament, a two-day tournament meant for wrestlers who had wrestled under 50 matches as a professional. After defeating DJ Skittlez in his first round match andGran Akuma in the semifinals, Hallowicked advanced to the finals of the tournament, where he defeatedMr. ZERO to become the first Young Lions Cup Champion.

After the tournament, Hallowicked decided to side with Blind Rage, when he and Ichabod Slayne had a falling out. Slayne left the stable and spent the rest of the yearfeuding with Blind Rage. On April 12, 2003, Hallowicked successfully defended his Young Lions Cup against his former stable mate, who had lost his mask in aHair vs. Mask match with Blind Rage and had renamed himself Icarus. On July 5 Hallowicked and Blind Rage entered Chikara's first everTag World Grand Prix. In the opening round of the tournament, they defeated TeamIWA-MS (Brad Bradley andJimmy Jacobs) and in the semifinals Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Gran Akuma). On July 26 Night Shift defeated Ultra/Zero (UltraMantis and Mr. ZERO) in the finals of the tournament to win the first ever Tag World Grand Prix. Night Shift's success was not limited only to Chikara, as during this time they were also able to win North American Wrestling Federation's Tag Team Championship.

Dark Breed (2004-2005)[]

When Blind Rage left Chikara in October 2003, Hallowicked was forced to find himself a new tag team partner. In early 2004 he formed the tag team Dark Breed with the man he had defeated in the finals of the Tag World Gran Prix, who had turned on Mr. ZERO and renamed himself UltraMantis Black. After four successful defenses of the Young Lions Cup and 602 days as the champion, Hallowicked was forced to relinquish the title in July 2004 in time for the second annual Young Lions Cup tournament. As a former champion Hallowicked was not allowed to enter the tournament or ever again challenge for the Cup. In October 2004 the Dark Breed joinedLarry Sweeney's stable Sweet 'n' Sour International for the first annualtorneo cibernetico match. After both Hallowicked and UltraMantis failed to win the match, the Dark Breed broke away from Sweeney's stable. When UltraMantis was sidelined with an injury, Hallowicked teamed with the returning Blind Rage in the2005 Tag World Grand Prix. After defeating Eye Candy (DJ Skittlez and Private Eye), Hallowicked and Blind Rage were eliminated from the tournament by the SuperFriends (Mike Quackenbush andChris Hero). The rest of the year Hallowicked feuded withJigsaw, ending on November 13, when Jigsaw defeated him in aTwo Out of Three Falls match.

Incoherence (2006-2010)[]

When UltraMantis Black suffered yet another injury, Hallowicked was left without a partner in the2006 Tag World Grand Prix, which was this time contested for the brand newChikara Campeonatos de Parejas (Tag Team Championship). A random draw pickedDelirious as Hallowicked's new tag team partner and on February 24, the first night of the three night tournament, they defeated Crossbones and Rorschach in the first round and then the team ofCheech and Cloudy in the second round to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament. Two days later Hallowicked and Delirious continued their impressive run as a tag team, by defeating TeamDDT (KUDO and MIKAMI), before losing their semifinal match to the eventual winners of the entire tournament,The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero andClaudio Castagnoli). Hallowicked's apparenttecnico (good guy) turn didn't sit well with UltraMantis Black as after the tournament he announced the death of the Dark Breed and declared a war on his former partner. Hallowicked and Delirious, the team now known as Incoherence, spent the rest of the year feuding with UltraMantis Black and his new stable the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, which consisted of UltraMantis Black himself, Hydra, Crossbones and Hallowicked's first tag team partner, Blind Rage. Even though UltraMantis was able to pin Hallowicked in a singles match on September 22, Incoherence won the feud by defeating the Neo-Solar Temple first in a tag team match on November 17 and then in an eight-man tag team match, where they teamed with Cheech and Cloudy, on November 18.

In 2007 Hallowicked started a heated feud withEddie Kingston, who was obsessed with being recognized as the best student to ever have come out of the Chikara Wrestle Factory and saw Hallowicked as his only threat at being recognized as such. During the course of the feud Hallowicked and Delirious managed to pick up the three points needed in order to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas on andOctober 26, 2007, they defeated Icarus andChuck Taylor, who replaced the injured Gran Akuma in the title match, to end their record setting reign and become the new Champions. However, Hallowicked's year would end on a low note, as on November 18 Kingston defeated him in aFalls Count Anywhere match to win their feud.

After dominating Chikara's tag team division for almost a year, Incoherence lost the Campeonatos de Parejas on September 21 to the Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno andPlayer Dos). Incoherence holds the record for most successful Campeonatos de Parejas title defenses, with five. In late 2008 Hallowicked debuted a new protégé,Frightmare. The trio entered the2009 King of Trios tournament, but were defeated in the first round by the Masters of a Thousand Holds (Mike Quackenbush,Jorge "Skayde" Rivera andJohnny Saint). In April UltraMantis Black revealed that he had not forgotten how Hallowicked had abandoned him in 2006, when he and Crossbones abducted Delirious following a match. Delirious would resurface the following month as a member of the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, after being brainwashed by UltraMantis. On November 22 the two teams faced each other for the first time, with Delirious and UltraMantis coming out victorious, when UltraMantis pinned Frightmare.

In 2010 Incoherence began feuding withBruderschaft des Kreuzes (BDK). The first match of the feud on February 28 ended when BDK membersSara Del Rey andDaizee Haze were disqualified for excessive punishment on Frightmare, giving Incoherence their first point in the process. For the2010 King of Trios Hallowicked and Frightmare teamed with Mike Quackenbush to form Team Frightning. Despite their status as one of the favorites of the tournament, the team was eliminated in the first round by TeamBig Japan Wrestling (Daisuke Sekimoto, Kankuro Hoshino and Yuji Okabayashi), when Okabayashi forced Frightmare to tap out. On the second night of the tournament, Hallowicked wrestled in a singles match, losing to the debutingChristopher Daniels. On the third and final night of the tournament Incoherence entered a ten tag teamgauntlet match. During the match Incoherence eliminated first F.I.S.T. (Icarus and Gran Akuma), then the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (UltraMantis Black and Crossbones) and finally Sara Del Rey and Daizee Haze of BDK to earn their second, third and fourth point respectively. After the tournament Chikara announced that Incoherence would challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas, held by BDK's Claudio Castagnoli andAres, on May 23 at Chikara's eighth anniversary show. AtAniversario Elf Incoherence was defeated in their title match in two straight falls, thanks to a pre-match assault from BDK's newest member Delirious and some shady officiating from the stable's own referee, Derek Sabato. On October 23 Hallowicked represented Chikara in thetorneo cibernetico match, where the company's originals faced BDK. He was eliminated from the match by BDK member Tursas.

The Spectral Envoy (2010-2014)[]

On December 12, 2010, at the season nine finale, Reality is Relative, Hallowicked defeated UltraMantis Black in a singles match. After the match, UltraMantis was attacked by Sinn Bohdi and his allies in the Batiri, but were eventually chased out of the ring by Incoherence, after Frightmare managed to convince Hallowicked to save his long-time rival. On April 15, 2011, Hallowicked, Frightmare and UltraMantis Black, collectively known as the Spectral Envoy of the Final Judgment, or just the Spectral Envoy, were eliminated from the King of Trios in the first round by Team Dragon Gate (Akira Tozawa, KAGETORA and Super Shisa). The Spectral Envoy and the Dark Army (Sinn Bohdi, Kobald, Kodama and Obariyon) faced each other in an eight-man tag team match on September 18, when the Envoy were joined by UltraMantis' former Order of the Neo-Solar Temple partner Crossbones. The Spectral Envoy managed to win, after UltraMantis pinned Bohdi. During 2011, Hallowicked also feuded with BDK member Tim Donst, which saw the two men captain opposing teams in the eighth annual torneo cibernetico match on November 12, which was won by team Hallowicked's Sara Del Rey. On November 13, at CHIKARA's first Internet pay-per-view, High Noon, Hallowicked and UltraMantis Black put their masks on the line against Ares' Eye of Tyr and Donst's hair in a No Disqualification match. The match ended in UltraMantis pinned Ares, which meant that not only did he win back the Eye of Tyr, but he and Hallowicked earned their third point and the right to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas. Hallowicked and UltraMantis cashed in their points on February 25, 2012, but were defeated by Chuck Taylor and Icarus of F.I.S.T, following interference from Delirious. Hallowicked's long rivalry with Tim Donst culminated in a Luchas de Apuestas, mask vs. hair match on June 2, 2012 at Chikarasaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur. Donst originally won after choking out Hallowicked, but the match was restarted after the referee found that Donst had used a shoelace with the choke, After the restart, Hallowicked won the match and shaved Donst bald.

On September 14, Hallowicked, Frightmare and UltraMantis Black entered the 2012 King of Trios, where they defeated Mihara, The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger and formerWWF Intercontinental ChampionTito Santana in their first-round match on Night 1. On Night 2, The Spectral Envoy advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament, after defeating their rival team The Batiri. However, following the match, the Spectral Envoy were attacked by members of the Batiri and Ophidian. On Night 3, The Spectral Envoy first defeated F.I.S.T (Icarus, Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano) and then Team ROH (Mike Bennett, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) in the finals, despite interference from the Batiri, Delirious and Ophidian, to win the 2012 King of Trios. At the following event on October 6, Hallowicked and UltraMantis Black defeated Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream Jr) to pick up their third point and earn the right to challenge for the Campeonatos de Parejas. They received their title shot on November 10, but were defeated by the reigning Campeones, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson), following interference from Ophidian and the Batiri. On December 2, at CHIKARA's third internet pay-per-view, The Spectral Envoy, represented by Frightmare, Hallowicked and UltraMantis Black, and the returning Blind Rage and Crossbones, defeated the The Batiri, Delirious and Ophidian in a ten-man tag team match. On April 6, 2013, Hallowicked received his first shot at the Chikara Grand Championship, but was defeated by the defending champion Eddie Kingston.

After a one-year hiatus, Chikara returned on May 25, 2014, with the You Only Live Twice pay-per-view. The Spectral Envoy worked the event's first match, where they were defeated by the new BDK of Ares, Nokken and Tursas. On September 19, The Spectral Envoy entered the 2014 King of Trios, as the defending tournament winners. They were however, eliminated by Eddie Kingston, Jimmy Jacobs and Volgar representing CHIKARA's new rudo stable, The Flood, after their stablemate Deucalion brought out Delirious to attack UltraMantis. On December 6, at Tomorrow Never Dies, Delirious used the Eye of Tyr to turn Hallowicked and Frightmare against UltraMantis Black, which disbanded the Spectral Envoy in the process.
