Da Link



History

:~: Da Link didn't get into the Wrestling scene until 1997. Da Link got a gig with a local promotion in LCW, or Longview Championship Wrestling... {No relation to Longview High}. There Da Link wrestled under his real name Linkoln Shakespeare. Da Link went under heel and at started out with a good 10-4 record before becoming the LCW North American Champion. While The Frost was 34-5 and winning every match, Da Link was going to destroy that record and in a brutal, and bloody fight, Da Link was sucessful on demolishing that record. That match went on to be the LCW last World Title match as Da Link retired the World Title to go to the OCW. Online Championship Wrestling was then a major wrestling company that was looking for top name wrestlers. After trying out Dean gave Da Link the OK. Da Link did good in OCW with a decent 5-0 record. Before losing to Enigma. But the shocker of Da Link, Krayzie and The Frost joined together to create the 3rd Earth Klique. The 3rd Earth was an Earth, a dimension, where all pain and beatings were legal as a headlock... With that group..... Link and Frost went on to destroy all of the tag teams in their way to Perfectly Marvelous.... who was then known as the OCW World Tag Team Champions. They wrestled at OCW: "Apocalypse Now" and their match with Perfectly Marvelous is known as the greatest OCW Tag Team match of all time. After the OCW shut down, Da Link had a little slint in the UTMWA before it closed, with Da Link leaving the Hardcore Champion. Well Da Link waited for a while to come back but now he's back in a fed known as the Global Wrestling League. When he joined... he quickly became the European Champion. After becoming the European Champion, he fought a number of other matches quickly earning victories before stepping up to the World Title picture. In his first challenge he defeated Raven to win the GWL World Championship creating a new league of Cursive Championship Wrestling. After Da Link went on to keep the title for some time, he then lost the title to Lita and then he vanished to move onto the ICWF. He has a nice record so far and his credits have included the ICWF North American Title....
