Eric Young

**Jeremy Fritz** (born December 15, 1979) is a Canadian professional wrestler and television personality best known by his ring name **Eric Young**.

He is perhaps best known for his 12-year tenure working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) from 2004 to 2016, where he is a two-time TNA / IMPACT World (Heavyweight) Champion, one-time X Division Champion, a three-time Legends / Global / Television / King of the Mountain Champion (he is also the only wrestler to hold the title under each iteration), and a four-time world tag team champion, having held the NWA World Tag Team Championship twice with Bobby Roode as members of **Team Canada**, the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice once with Kaz, and once as a member of **The Band** with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall (under the Freebird Rule), and the only male to co-hold the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, winning the title with female wrestler ODB. He is also one of only five men to win TNA's Grand Slam Championship. All together, Young won 11 championships during his career in TNA, and is considered a "TNA Original".

In 2016 Young signed with WWE, where he initially competed in WWE's developmental territory NXT, where he was the leader of the stable **SAni†Y**, and a former NXT Tag Team Champion. Upon moving to the main roster, Young wrestled on the SmackDown brand.
