## **Professional wrestling career**

### Early career (2000-2005)

Barmichael began training in the Manila-based promotion Mackasanaan Pro-Wrestling under trainer Drax Igabayashi in July 1999. He debuted on May 5, 2000 under the name **Baron Hadriano**, losing to future rival Franco Regalado. He would keep losing matches until he gained his first victory in a tag match with John Paul Santama, and he would go on to win the MPW Tandem Championship with him as Los Perros Las Pineros, reigning for 250 days.

Los Perros Las Pineros defended their title against the Carpe Diem Enforcers, Lasengero ng Kalye, Kumpare ng Demonyo, Trench Gunners, and Salza of Death, but consistently lost to teams with Franco Regalado in multi-man matches, causing tension in the team. The team broke up on November 3, 2001 upon losing the title to High-Class Network and Hadriano injuring Santama and attacking the Network's manager Regalado, thus taking his feud with the latter to a personal level. The two had a trilogy of acclaimed matches throughout the next two years, with their rivalry being settled at January 29, 2003 in a two out of three falls match for the MPW Dunong Championship, which Hadriano won. He held the championship as he entered into a feud with former partner Santana. He lost the title to Santana on May 10, 2003 in his last MPW match.

Hadriano became a freelancer for a year, competing in promotions like Myth Gate, where he scored a win against regular roster member MAC, AWT Mid-South Wrestling where he competed against the likes of future rival N.U. Punk and future Bedlam Crew co-leader BJ Miles, Relentless Action Wrestling where he had a dark match with Aldnoah Joe, and Destruction Zone Wrestling where he lost a notable deathmatch with Cain Corvus and got a shoulder injury because of it.

On June 27, 2004, he debuted for Circle of Pride, competing in a tournament for Dan Bergeron's vacated CoP World Championship, losing in the semifinals to MIYAKE. During this tournament, Phantasmagoria Pro-Wrestling talent scouts invited him to the PPW San Fransisco Dojo as a Young Pup, where he would train alongside Fergus DeWitt, Hank Jorgenson, and Jack Sanderson (The future El Puma) for nearly a whole year.

### American Wrestling Trust (2005-2008)

As part of his learning excursion, PPW sent him on a tour of several American independent promotions. He debuted for PPW's then major American partner AWT in July 2005, losing to more established names like BJ Miles, CEROS, Allan Crowe, and Tristan Gage. He spent one and a half years in the lower midcard and continued to lose even as he gained renown for a dynamic highfying style. PPW took notice of this and allowed him to officially graduate from Young Pup status in February 2006, modifying his talent contract so he could continue his excursion for an extended period before he could debut for PPW proper.

With his limitations for a push removed, he entered a month-long number one contendership tournament for Fergus DeWitt's AWT Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship, which he won by defeating Elisha Ginsburg. He made good on his tournament victory by defeating DeWitt and holding the title for 91 days, after which he lost it to Claude Vostok.

Hadriano's next appearance for AWT came at November 2006, where he teamed up with Hank Jorgenson in the two-month long Crusty Romero Tag Classic in an attempt to win the vacant AWT World Tag Team Championship left by the Harrises (Jim and Mike Harris), but they were knocked out by Tristan Gage and Froe. He returned to AWT in May 2007 to beat Spike Hackenbush for the AWT World Junior Heavyweight Championship, defending it against the likes of El Obrero, Hyper Sentai JUNIOR, and Manuel D'Oro, whose avalanche Spanish fly injured Hadriano's back and forced him to vacate the championship. He reclaimed the championship by defeating Branco Guereira and Hackenbush in a triple threat match on December of that year, holding it for two more months before losing it to Tristan Gage in his farewell AWT match.

### Pro Wrestling 'Vant Garde and return to Macakasanaan Pro Wrestling (2006-9)

Hadriano debuted for Pro Wrestling 'Vant Garde in the 2006 Battle of San Francisco tournament in August, beating Judah Jelano in the first round but losing to Dan Bergeron in the next. He unsuccessfully challenged Jelano for his PWVG Daredevil Championship before returning to AWT.

He returned to PWVG in January 2007 and competed with El Magico as Los Barones Magicos, holding the PWVG World Tag Team Championship until losing it to Gavin Stein and El Ordinario, the winner of that year's Dynamic Dual Tag Team Tourney for Pairs. He won't return until February of 2008, when he feuded with El Ordinario over his PWVG World Championship, losing to him in a high-profile ladder match that May before he returned to PPW as per contract stipulation.

He returned as DeAndre O'Goodness to PWVG on October 2008 to challenge El Ordinario for his Daredevil Championship. The title match next month saw O'Goodness defeat Ordinario and claim his first PWVG title, defending it against El Magico and taking it to his return to MPW.

He defended his title against several figures from his past: Paul Santama, Bernal of the Trench Gunners, and his notable rival Franco Regalado in a sold-out event in the Casimiro Colosseum in his hometown, Las Pinas. He dropped the title to Johnny Syns to commit to PPW full-time in April 2009, resigning from PWVG in the process.

### Phantasmagoria Pro-Wrestling (2008–present)

#### Rise of The Dog and junior success

On May 10, 2008, Hadriano, now billed as dog-masked luchador **DeAndre O'Goodness**, was announced as a participant of the A block in the 2008 Best of the Surreal Juniors tournament. He debuted for PPW proper in a draw against established junior Souji Sanemoto, and went on to have 8 points in the tournament, losing in the semifinals to Kaji Izushi. However, he scored a win against the reigning FCWC Junior Heavyweight Champion Leopard Mask, leading to a title match on September, which O'Goodness lost.

O'Goodness returned to PPW at the following year's Best of the Surreal Juniors tournament, this time making it to the A block finals against Sanemoto before losing. He fought newly-crowned Junior Heavyweight Champion and former tag partner El Magico in September to a draw in a brief FMLL appearance, failing to gain the title. Not having a guaranteed path to the Junior Heavyweight Title, he entered the Surreal Junior Tag League with MAC and won, securing an FCWC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match against El Mangudai and the Great Itachi at Hustle Kingdom. He and MAC won the title and hold it for 250 days, defending it against the likes of Raijin Sentai Tiger and Leopard Mask, Ben O'Morgan and Yukio Tadahashi, Mascara Sagrado and El Magico, Saji Nijimori and Nobuhiko Takajima, and No Shame Squad (Balboa Ledger and Claude Vostok) in a Circle of Pride defense before losing it to Voyager 55 (Yusuke Higuchi and Fergus DeWitt).

In the middle of his title run, he re-entered the Best of Surreal Juniors tournament, this time as part of the B block. His run had victories against the likes of Raijin Sentai Tiger, Dark Panther, and Yellow Thunder, but it was cut early due to a concussion suffered in a match against the latter. He missed out the rest of the tournament and ended it with 6 points, taking the rest of the month off to recover from his injuries. He won the 2010 Phantom X Cup after losing the Junior Heavyweight Tag Titles and subsequently use the victory to secure a three-way title match against Fergus DeWitt and Aokichi Sarufuji at Hustle Kingdom. He lost the three-way to Sarufuji but regain a title shot by pinning him in a tag match with Voyager 55 at the following Ground Zero show. He won the FCWC Junior Heavyweight Championship at the Chain Reaction in Quezon show and held it until the 2011 Defiance event, where he lost it to BOSJ winner Kaji Izushi after a three defense reign.

He debuted for PPW's Mexican partner FMLL under the name **Cuervo de Sangre**, a bird-masked *rudo*. He teamed with El Juventud Hun for the Torneo Sincretico tag team tournament, where they got to the finals before losing to El Magico and El Gotico. de Sangre and Juventud Hun then entered the Surreal Junior Tag League as a face team (with de Sangre reverting to his O'Goodness moniker but wearing a blue eagle mask), where they scored a victory over current champions Nuclei Splitters (Rex Kelly and NISHIDO) among others before losing in the semifinals. Their title shot took place in the next year's Chain Reaction in Shanghai, where they took the championships from Voyager 55. Their reign only lasted for 69 days and a defense against Nuclei Splitters, as O'Goodness got injured and Juventud Hun chose not to re-sign with FMLL due to a contract dispute. Leopard Mask and Raijin Tiger won the vacant championship in a tournament final after that year's Best of the Surreal Juniors. He recovered in time for the Phantom X Cup, but lost to DeWitt in the first stage. He rebounded by winning the Surreal Junior Tag League with Kine Man, going on to the FCWC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from No Shame Squad at Hustle Kingdom 6. The two held it until April, where they lost it to the returning El Mangudai and The Great Itachi. O'Goodness lost to his partner in an acclaimed match at the Best of the Surreal Juniors, failing to advance from his block.

#### Second return to Mackasanaan Pro-Wrestling (2012)

He returned to MPW to unsuccessfully challenge Marko Bercarpio for the Dunong Championship, despite the assistance of the debuting Hank Jorgenson against Bercarpio's partner Ram-Ang. Jorgenson and O'Goodness as **JackDog** feuded against Bercarpio and Ang for the MPW Tandem Championships, winning it from them and holding it until September, where they lost it to JP Santama and Bene Brusko.

#### Bedlam Crew cornerstone and tag dominance (2013-17

O'Goodness returned to PPW with Jorgenson as JackDog in October, winning the FCWC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships from CROSS Justice Warriors (High Key and Ryan Gendry). They lost the titles in a three way with Dragon and Panther (Balboa Ledger and Dan Bergeron) and Voyager 55 to the former in Hustle Kingdom 7.

The two failed to regain the championship in the next year as they lost to newly-crowned Atom Splitters (Xander Kelly and NISHIDO) at the beginning of March in the Circle of Pride Anniversary Show in March, causing dissension in the team. In the Carnage-On Genesis event, O'Goodness enlisted Carl Johnson as his cornerman, causing Jorgenson to instead team up with Fergus DeWitt, who turned heel He issued a friendly challenge to the newly dethroned FCWC Heavyweight Champion Yashiro Asakaze in a backstage promo after his special singles match against El Magico, which Asakaze accepted.

At the next month's Hustle Zontag event, Asakaze defeated O'Goodness in their invitational match. Afterwards, Jorgenson appeared, seemingly to get revenge on his partner, but instead attacks Asakaze with the help of Fergus DeWitt, whom Jorgenson turned heel with on Carnage-On Genesis. O'Goodness and Johnson turn heel and assist in the beatdown of Asakaze, reuniting JackDog and forming the new heel stable **Bedlam Crew**. JackDog declared themselves heavyweights and set their sights on the FCWC Heavyweight Tag Team Championships held by ENERGY (Tim Elwing and Shigeru Nojima).

At the first day of the Road to the Surreal Juniors tour, Bedlam Crew defeated Asakaze, Kent Rogers, Itagaki Masakishi, and Yusuke Higuchi in its first match by using chairs and putting Asakaze through a table.Two days later, DeWitt entered the Best of the Surreal Juniors tournament, winning his block through Bedlam Crew interference.

At Hustle Kingdom 8, Carnivore Kings won the FCWC Heavyweight Tag Team Championship from the First-Class Killes (Vance Lancer and Pedro Baste). The two subsequently held the title for 493 days while touring the entire FCWC circuit of promotions and the independent scene. In April 2014, the Rough Studs kicked DeWitt out of Bedlam Crew after he demanded an honorable contest against his old partner Yusuke Higuchi, leading to a small altercation between them and Carnivore Kings. However, the two reconciled and agreed to work together after BJ Miles joined the stable and issued his FCWC Heavyweight challenge to Jon Martello.

The next month on Hustle Zontag, Carnivore Kings assisted the rest of Bedlam Crew in providing distractions to the young pups during Miles' title match, but they were kept in check by CROSS. O'Badness bore witness to Yukio Tadahashi's betrayal of CROSS to assist Miles in winning the title. In the ensuing days, O'Badness was subsequently elected 2nd leader of Bedlam Crew along with Miles, managing Crew affairs while Miles was booked by the indies and led Crew operations there. The two coordinated the tag and singles actions respectively, with the position of Crew leader becoming more like primus-inter-pares and advisory roles than actual shot callers.

By August of 2014, O'Badness participated in his first-ever R01 Climax as part of the B Block, ending his run with a 5-5 win-loss record and a final loss to Miles, who went on to face Martello in the block finals. Two months later, O'Badness and Miles recruited GGT Pro-Wrestling alumni Johnny Syns into Bedlam Crew as the number one contender to the FCWC Junior Heavyweight Champion Yusuke Higuchi, with the former introducing Syns as "The Crackshot" in State of Calamity. Syns eventually secured Junior gold at Hustle Kingdom 9 with underhanded tactics, leading to the rest of the Crew (sans Miles, as he had an upcoming match) congratulating him for the win. The event also marked Carnivore Kings' 8th successful defense in PPW, a victory against SFX (Fergana and Urbiz).

After their 10th and successful defense at the PPW 46th Anniversary Show against the First-Class Killers (Pedro Baste and Vance Lancer), Carnivore Kings and BJ Miles entered FMLL's Torneo Tripletas as one of two PPW representative teams (the other one being CROSS's Full Fledged Players). They were eliminated by Visera Dorada, Emanuel Victorio, and Ultimo Guerrilla in the quarterfinals, leading to a successful 11th title defense against Dorada and Victorio at Carnage-on Genesis. Their reign concluded at Hustle Zontag with a loss to ENERGY (Tim Elwing and Shigeru Nojima), and a suicide flying lariat by Elwing to Jorgenson resulted in the latter receiving a head concussion, temporarily sending Carnivore Kings into hiatus.

#### Ascent into upper midcard, world tag tours and singles success

As Jorgenson was not medically cleared by the R01 Climax, O'Badness, Miles, and Tadahashi were the only Crew members to paricipate in the tournament. O'Badness ended his run with a 6-3 win/loss record and a victory over FCWC Intercontinental Champion Kisuke Sakamura, leading to his first stint as IC Champion the following month. Sakamura retook his belt by State of Calamity however, and due to Jorgenson's recovery, the Carnivore Kings and Carl Johnson made a challenge for the newly-vacated NEAR Openweight Triads Championship. The Bedlam Crew trio unsuccessfully challenged CROSS' Damian Heidegger and the Bistro Brothers and Yamaha-gun's Honda Yamaha and the First-Class Killers, with CROSS winning.

O'Badness witnessed Johnny Syn's coup against BJ Miles at Ground Zero, hesitantly siding with the new leader and resigning from his current post to compete in Legend's House's Living Legend Tag Team Championship #1 Contender's Tournament with Jorgenson. They defeated the Nocturn Train (Nick Mordon and Bobby Jimson) and progress to the semifinals, where they lose to Kaji Izushi and EJ Deakins. Carnivore Kings successfully challenged the reigning champions the Grundy Boyz (Jabba Ray and Re-Gun Grundy), taking the championships away from them and returning to PPW to successfully defend it against the Bistro Brothers at the Carnage-On Genesis show. While in PPW, O'Badness pinned newly-crowned FCWC Heavyweight Champion Ben O'Morgan, leading to a title shot at Hustle Zontag, which O'Badness won via Bedlam Crew interference. However, the reign ended at the hands of Jon Martello at Defiance.

The string of bad luck continued as Carnivore Kings lost the title on their return to Legend's House to the Nocturn Train at No Reservations, but not before O'Badness issued a challenge to Legends House Champion Fulgencio to compete in the R01 Climax. O'Badness triumphed over Fulgencio, earning a title shot that he converted into a win next month after a near-draw and interference from Jorgenson. A reign of dirty wins over the likes of Tristan Gage, El Obrero, and FROE ensued, only marked by a clean win over Pierre DuPont. Carnivore Kings goaded the Grundy Boyz to participate in the Mirage Tag League, and they took advantage of it to win the titles a second time in Hustle Kingdom 11, however, as O'Badness got pinned by Honda Yamaha during the tournament, he had to defend the title against the veteran at Winter's Fury, to no success.
