Joaquin Wilde

Professional wrestling career

Michael Paris claims that his dream to become a professional wrestler began when he first saw mini Luchador Chucky on anAsistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) television broadcast in 2002. However, Paris has also stated in interviews that he credits watching a match withYoshihiro Tajiri and Fantastik as his initial inspiration to become a pro wrestler.

In 2003, Paris began training to become a professional wrestler at the Coalition of Competition inPittsburgh, Pennsylvania under trainersSuper Hentai,Shirley Doe andGlenn Spectre. He trained there for 14 months before debuting asShiima Xion, the "first Filipino male supermodel of professional wrestling" on August 21, 2004 againstJason Gory inWheeling, West Virginia. Shiima Xion competed throughout West Virginia and Ohio in the fall of 2004, since he was not old enough to compete in the state of Pennsylvania. Shortly after turning 18, however, Xion began competing regularly for theInternational Wrestling Cartel, as well as making appearances inChikara, Far North Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Unplugged.

By early 2006, the Shiima Xion character had become more of a glam rock star than a male model, as Xion began wearing make-up to the ring, and had also changed his hair color from black to red and blonde. His bizarre hair style soon became his trademark, with Shiima becoming best known for hairspraying his hair during matches

The androgynous character eventually caught the attention of Japanese wrestling promoterSanshiro Takagi, who invited 19-year old Shiima to tour Japan with his company,Dramatic Dream Team (DDT) in the summer of 2006. Shiima was well received during his first tour of Japan and was invited to return for a 3-month tour in the summer of 2007. Shiima had to decline the offer, however, as he was attending college at West Virginia University.

Shiima Xion was featured in theIntroducing... article inPro Wrestling Illustrated'sThe Wrestler, volume 19, 2008. The magazine was released on newsstands nationwide on December 4, 2007, with a two-page article spread on Shiima.

International Wrestling Cartel

Shiima Xion made hisInternational Wrestling Cartel (IWC) debut on November 6, 2004 in Munhall, PA. Shiima lost to Jason Gory, who was also making his IWC debut that night. The two feuded for the remainder of 2004, and into 2005, culminating at IWC No Excuses on July 29, 2005. Gory won the feud, and the two would not wrestle again until IWC Super Indy V on April 15, 2006, in which Shiima defeated Gory with the Filipino Destroyer. Post-match saw the two shake hands for the first time in their near two-year long rivalry and eventually led to them forming a tag team known as BabyFace Fire(BFF).

BFF teamed for the first time on July 7, 2006, and were defeated byChris Hero andClaudio Castagnoli. The team is best known for their scramble matches with the Gambino Brothers, Sexual Harassment, and the Cleveland Mafia. The second of these scrambles, which took place on December 9, 2006, saw BFF capture their first IWC Tag Team Championship. Xion & Gory held onto the belts until March 2007, in which The Gambino Brothers challenged the champions, despite both BFF members already competing in singles action earlier in the night. The challenge was accepted, and Xion was pinned by Marshall Gambino after interference from Jimmy Demarco. Later that year, after a violent feud with the Gambinos, BFF won their second IWC Tag Team Championship on December 8, 2007. They would hold onto the tag titles twice as long as their first reign, until Sexual Harassment defeated BFF for the belts in June 2008. They also lost their rematch in a huge TLC match in August 2008.

Shiima Xion has also had many notable singles matches in IWC, including battles againstHomicide,A.J. Styles,Chris Sabin,Jimmy Jacobs, andNigel McGuinness. On May 11, 2007 Xion competed in the IWC Super Indy VI tournament. He defeatedRuckus in the first round andSuper Hentai in the semifinals before losing toLarry Sweeney in the finals. The next year, Xion competed in the IWC Super Indy VII tournament. In the first round, he defeated "Altar Boy"Luke Hawx. He then lost in the semifinals to the eventual winner of the tournament,Jerry Lynn. In September 2008, Xion defeated Marshall Gambino to qualify for another tournament, for the vacant IWC World Heavyweight Championship. Xion defeated Justin Idol, John McChesney, and Raymond Rowe to advance to the finals, where he defeated Jimmy DeMarco with a 630 splash to win the tournament on October 25 and 26.

At Accept No Limitations, Jimmy DeMarco declared himself promotor because Norm Connors wasn't there. He made a No-DQ match between Shiima and Ray Rowe, with Shiima winning and becoming IWC Champion for a second time.

Dramatic Dream Team

Shiima Xion made his Japanese debut in a losing effort, as Shiima and the MAC were defeated by CMLL/KO-D Tag Team Champions,Dick Togo and Nobutaka Moribe, on June 22, 2006 in Shinjuku, Japan. Shiima also appeared in the Takayuki Mikami-producedCruiser's Game 4th Special, teaming withKudo and Susumu against Kagetora,Yuko Miyamoto, and Mannjimaru. Shiima's only win on the tour was on July 2, 2006, in which Shiima, Kudo, and Mikami defeatedHarashima,Toru Owashi, andYusuke Inokuma in Shimane, Japan. Shiima Xion returned to Japan on August 9, 2009, competing in a 6-man tag on a joint show with Macky Puroresu Shop and Big Japan Wrestling. Shiima won the match for his team.

Xion held the title for nearly two years before losing it to Jimi the High-Flying Hippie in two straight falls of a best-of-three falls match on July 19, 2008 in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. Xion regained the title from Jimi on November 8 in Butler, Pennsylvania.Shiima then went on to lose the title to "M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross, and won a fatal four-way match in Irwin, Pennsylvania to complete his stay in FNW.
