## **EARLY LIFE/CAREER:**

### Birth/Early Years:

Born to Douglas and Lauren Young in the city of Chicago, Kyle's early life was a bit of an interesting climb. Douglas was a so called "sanitation worker", though oddly he provided a much better life for his family than most others in that profession. When Douglas was off on "business trips" with Max (Kyle's older brother), Lauren would bring Kyle and his little sister Samantha around with her to spend time with the Costanza family, to keep her kids occupied. Unfortunately, those times were not to last.

When Kyle was 18, it came out that Douglas was linked with a crime family, which forced the family to split and head into hiding. Before they all left, Max offered to pay Kyle a ticket to head anywhere he wanted, he just couldn't stay in Chicago. Kyle chose to head to Japan, mostly for safety reasons.

### Japan:

When he made the travel to the land of the Rising Sun, he immediately heard of the Yamamoto Clan, a family that headed up a dojo in the city of Tokyo that were renowned for being some of the toughest fighters. When he made his way to the dojo, he intended to at the very least learn to defend himself. When he made it there, he was in for a world unlike any other.

Even at 18, Kyle was still fresh to the idea of an actual fight. Sessions were rough, with Kyle constantly being beaten by the students, namely Akira and Takahiro Yamamoto, the son and daughter of the patriarch, Hiroshi. Constantly, Kyle would be on his ass after every sparring session, but still continued to rise and come back for more, even while other students left. Takahiro still picked on Kyle, on the claims of trying to "toughen him up". On the flip side, however, his sister Akira slowly softened up to the gaijin they trained.

This wasn't unnoticed by Takahiro, who saw Kyle as a threat. During a training session between Kyle and Takahiro, the latter brutally assaulted the former, leaving Kyle a bloody mess and only stopped from killing Kyle by Akira stepping in between them. Takahiro was thrown out of the dojo by his father, for the disrespectful actions shown.

When Kyle was 20, 2 years after stepping into the dojo, he walked out, fully trained...and now not alone. Akira elected to leave the dojo to stay with her now boyfriend and head back with him to the USA.

### Back To The United States:

In the spring of 2001, they moved back to Chicago, with not much of note happening until post 9/11.

Kyle, feeling a responsibility to sign up and head to war, headed to the recruitment station and signed up, being assigned to the 33rd Infantry Division. Kyle didn't want to leave Akira home all alone, so he convinced her to marry him before he was scheduled to head to basic training. In early 2002, before Kyle was sent to Afghanistan, Akira gave birth to the twins, Jade and Leon, but Kyle was not able to spend too much time with them.

In March of 2002, Kyle was deployed overseas, but while on a routine scouting mission, Kyle suffered an injury to his shoulder from an enemy bullet striking him and knocking him off a perch. Medical personnel believed the injury to be enough to take him out of action, so they sent him home on an honorable discharge. On review of what they had, however, it was revealed Kyle's injury was less severe than it was originally claimed to be, but it was too late as Kyle was already on the plane home to Chicago.

In 2003, after rehabilitating the shoulder injury, with not much to turn to, Kyle devoted as much time as he could into training to wrestle. Kyle needed a way to make money and provide a life for his wife and two children, and fighting was his only true passion.

### Wrestling Career (2003-2017):

In the fall of 2003, Kyle made his way to OVW, beginning his training under the eye of Mark Sciarra. It only lasted for a year as when he was up for review, both a lack of faith from the higher ups of OVW, politics and a loss to CM Punk resulted in Kyle being released from Ohio Valley Wrestling in the winter of 2004, just a day after the birth of his and Akira's third child, Alex. Desperate for cash to support all 5 of them, Kyle took what he could to move into the indies.

In the spring of 2005, Kyle moved back home and took a job wrestling for a company called Chicago Made Wrestling, becoming a main stay for the company, but never close enough to becoming a champion. Every time he was in a title match, he always wound up short of winning. Regardless, his time in CMW helped him to hone his craft, to slowly fine tune him into a better wrestler. Kyle's final match for the company was him in a fatal 4 way ladder match.

In 2007, after a quiet two months, Kyle found his way to the Riley Wrestling Academy, signing up for a seminar to further his craft. While attending the seminar, however, he ran into a familiar face in the head trainer of the Academy, Riley Wolf. The two childhood friends rekindled their relationship, with Kyle joining Riley's promotion due to the seminar and capturing the RWA Cruiserweight Championship, though he didn't hold it for too long due to the company closing down.

Around this time, Kyle joined a promotion in Kentucky known as Louisville Slugger Wrestling at the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2008. There wasn't much to note of his time here, but this was the first time Akira would step into the wrestling world, acting as Kyle's valet for matches. There were moments where they were forced into stories where Akira was the subject of Kyle's opponents attempting to either seduce or steal her away from him. Most of the time, however, Akira was the one instrumental in the opponent's downfall.

Over the years, Kyle was on and off, wrestling across the Mid West in companies such as the Wisconsin based promotion CWM (Cheese Wheel Wrestling), the Indiana based promotion Turbo Charged Wrestling (TCW), and the Michigan based Wolverine Claw Wrestling (WCW). Kyle wasn't up to much of note, as none of the promoters were willing to put their trust in Kyle to be a top star.

Then Riley came calling in 2013, asking for Kyle to join a new company he founded called Grand Division Wrestling. Kyle made his way to the finals of Block B of a Round Robin tournament to crown the World champion, but he wound up falling short to TK Wreck after TK hit Kyle with 3 finishers back to back to keep him down. Kyle kept his head up, even after taking the loss, and eventually plucked the GDW United States championship after a brutal last man standing match that left both him and his opponent bloody and battered. Eventually, Kyle took his leave to return home, but he had an idea.

In 2015, Kyle's career slowed down so he could spend time not only spending time with his family, but also to train his kids to wrestle. Over time, around 2017, Kyle felt the urge to wrestle once again, but his time away slowed him down. In a company run by the promoter known as N60Sean, Kyle only made three appearances in that company under the ring name of Young Samurai. First was a rumble to qualify for a spot in a hell in a cell match, but was kicked out of the match in about a minute by Kombat Mob. The second was him pitching the idea of a search party for PopularMMOS. The last was another rumble to decide the Subscribers champion, but he was eliminated after taking 2 men out with him.

Elsewhere, under the same ring name, Kyle would end up partnering up with Elementor in the Skeles Fan Show, eventually becoming tag team champions at Skellvivor Series versus the FizzySepticEye duo (Captain Fanta and Grant).

In 2018, however, was the year Kyle's break in his career finally hit. On advice from a friend, he went out scouting for newer companies to join. Out of all the companies Kyle Young joined, there was none he made a bigger splash on than joining MFW's newest brand in Project Breakout. He was inserted into a triple threat match with **Nate West** and **Zengar Venu** for the then Project Breakout Men's Championship.

No one expected for Kyle to be the one to walk out of the match with the belt in his hands after pinning Zengar.

This one match up sparked Kyle's rise in popularity, with him not only retaining the Project Breakout championship, but then being called up, winning the United States Championship on an episode of Ignite and holding that all the way towards Sunset Carnage II, where he was the first man eliminated in a triple threat between him, Eli Maddox, and Sven.

On top of all this, he managed to extend his reach outwards and get himself involved on shows like EWWF.

As time progressed, more and more shows were added to his resume of accomplishments...but the following year was when his life took a more...interesting turn.
