William DeMott William ( Bill ) DeMott ( November 10 , 1966 ) is a semi - retired American professional wrestler , best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment as Hugh Morrus and Bill Demott respectively and as Crash The Terminator in ECW and Japan . While wrestling in WCW he became a two time United States Champion . Career . Overseas ( 1990 - 1993 ) . DeMott was trained by Johnny Rodz in his New York wrestling school beginning in 1988 . From there he began working at small independent promotions using his real name . In 1992 DeMott began wrestling for the American Wrestling Federation and started using the name Crash The Terminator . Under this name he found some success , first capturing the AWF Heavyweight title from Steve Strong in Puerto Rico , before moving on to the Japanese promotion W * ING and winning their tag team championship with Mr . Pogo . In 1993 , while competing in W * ING , Demott won a 16 - man tournament to be crowned their heavyweight champion . Extreme Championship Wrestling ( 1993 - 1994 ) . When DeMott returned to the United States , he wrestled for Extreme Championship Wrestling for a short time , before moving on to Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling where once again he won a heavyweight championship , this time outlasting a number of competitors in a battle royal to get it . World Championship Wrestling ( 1995 - 2001 ) . In 1995 , DeMott was signed to a World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) contract at the behest of Kevin Sullivan who had been impressed by him . He debuted in dark matches as The Man of Question and The Laughing Man , a strange gimmick that saw him wearing a singlet covered in question marks and laughing a lot . He made his television debut using the same gimmick , but with the name Hugh Morrus ( a pun on the word " humorous " ) and he would stay with that for most of his WCW career . The most prominent thing about Hugh Morrus was his finisher , a moonsault dubbed No Laughing Matter . Seeing the nearly 300 pound man sail through the air impressed a number of people ( both in the crowd and backstage ) and Hugh was soon pushed as a mid - card face , usually in tag team matches . In 1996 Morrus turned heel by joining the Dungeon of Doom in their quest to end Hulkamania . Unfortunately , he joined at a time of flux in WCW as the Dungeon of Doom was breaking up and Hogan was making a heel turn as well . Upon the dissolution of the Dungeon Of Doom , Morrus was relegated to a lower spot on the card than ever before . As a curtain jerker he made history on September 22 1997 , when he became the first wrestler to lose a televised match to Bill Goldberg . After this , still using the Hugh Morrus gimmick , he changed tracks completely . Now joining the growing Hardcore wrestling style in WCW he joined Jimmy Hart ' s First Family stable . It seemed that he ( along with the rest of the group ) were on their way to a major push when they secured a Pay - Per - View win over their Revolution rivals until the group suddenly broke up . At this time , DeMott took some time off from WCW . He returned in early 2000 utilizing the same name and ring attire , but squashing a number of wrestlers as an angrier version of himself . The angry Morrus gimmick came to a halt when Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff took over and promised to take WCW in a " new direction . " After getting on Russo ' s bad side ( in kayfabe ) , Morrus was fired from his " New Blood " stable along with a number of other wrestlers . These ex - New Blood members ( including Chavo Guerrero , Jr . and Booker T ) formed the comedy stable Misfits In Action ; they all adoptied new military - themed names for themselves . Morrus , the leader , re - christened himself General Hugh G . Rection ( a pun on the term " huge erection " ) , and lead the group in a feud against the Filthy Animals . The group ' s comedic nature and the workrate of some of the wrestlers made the group immediate favorites with fans . Upon the introduction of the heel " Team Canada " , the Misfits In Action became Made In America , though much of the gimmick remained the same . Rection feuded with Team Canada leader Lance Storm , beating him and Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a handicap match at Halloween Havoc 2000 . After his feud with Lance Storm , the next night on WCW Monday Nitro , DeMott stood in the ring and spoke to the fans . During this segment , the WCW locker room emptied and many wrestlers from backstage stood on the entrance way clapping for DeMott ; Bill Goldberg grabbed the microphone and said " Hey , Goldberg ' s streak had to start somewhere , my friend . " In perhaps one of DeMott ' s greatest achievements in wrestling , he gained respect from his peers . The Misfits In Action eventually broke up and DeMott took the name Hugh Morrus again for a feud with former members of the stable . Morrus competed in WCW ' s U . S . Championship division until the World Wrestling Federation ' s buyout of WCW . World Wrestling Federation / World Wrestling Entertainment ( 2001 - 2007 ) . The Alliance . When WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation Entertainment ( WWF ) Morrus signed a deal with the WWF and became part of The Invasion angle as a member of The Alliance . Morrus made his WWF debut on the June 4 , 2001 edition of Raw attacking Christian , but did not debut in the ring until July 2001 . Morrus didn ' t make much of an impact during this angle as he mostly wrestled on WWF ' s B - Shows ( HEAT and Jakked ) . He only had 3 high profile matches , with them being at WWF Invasion on July 22 when he , along with Shawn Stasiak and Chris Kanyon , defeated Big Show , Billy Gunn and Albert ; on the August 9 edition of SmackDown ! losing to Chris Jericho as Stephanie McMahon ' s hand picked opponent ; and , on the August 27 edition of Raw , facing Edge for the WWF Intercontinental Championship , which Edge retained when Morrus won via disqualification . When that angle ended at Survivor Series 2001 , when Team Alliance lost to Team WWF , Morrus was kayfabe fired by Vince McMahon . He was used at house shows and worked in WWF ' s developmental territory Heartland Wrestling Association . During his time there he , along with Raven , defeated Lance Cade and Steve Bradley to become HWA Tag Team champions on March 12 , 2002 . SmackDown ! In April 2002 , Ric Flair was able to " save his job " and get him drafted over to the SmackDown ! brand . Morrus redebuted on the April 6 , 2002 edition of Jakked along with Chavo Guerrero ( who was also a member of The Alliance ) and defeated The Hurricane and Funaki . Morrus was a mainstay on Jakked ( later renamed Velocity ) until late July 2002 when he was ( Legit ) seriously injured in a motorcycle accident and had to take a leave from the ring . During his time away he became a trainer for the third season of " Tough Enough " , WWEs reality television show . When he had sufficiently healed , Morrus made his return on the November 23 , 2002 , on Velocity , billing himself under his real name , Bill DeMott . DeMott made his official SmackDown ! return on December 5 , 2002 as a monster heel defeating Funaki in a squash match . After his return , he was given a push that had him squashing various wrestlers , including Funaki , Shannon Moore , Chuck Palumbo , Crash Holly and even defeating Rikishi on two separate occasions on SmackDown ! . However , this monster heel push did not last long as DeMott was demoted to Velocity starting in February 2003 . May 2003 came and DeMott made a face turn and started telling knock - knock jokes . The gimmick didn ' t get over and he was still a mainstay on Velocity , but his huge push was kept intact . His last televised match was the June 14 edition of Velocity defeating Chris Kanyon . In late June 2003 he retired from in ring action , citing years of knee injuries . In November 2003 he began working as a color commentator on Velocity until " Tough Enough 4 " , where he once again became a trainer . Deep South Wrestling . When " Tough Enough 4 " wrapped production , DeMott did not make a return to " Velocity " . Instead , he became a full - time trainer for WWE . While training wrestlers in WWE ' s Deep South Wrestling " farm territory " , he briefly returned to in - ring action to team with The Freakin ' Deacon to face The Gymini . DeMott was released from his WWE contract on January 19 , 2007 , with Tom Prichard taking his place as trainer .
