HISTORY:

Born in San Diego, California Damien Cassidi grew up near the beaches. He would waste most of his time on the beaches. As he got older Damien would cut school with his friends, and go to the beach. Some where along the way of growing up Damien began to develop an attitude. It was like it came overnight. Was it from being the youngest of the 3 Cassidi kids? Maybe from his lifestyle? Semi-rich family but not enough to be comfortable year round? Maybe it was his real personality shining through finally.

No matter his attitude the one thing that could calm him down? Professional wrestling. Everything about it captured his attention. He knew after watching his first match...it was something he had to do on some level. Any level. Years pass, and the youngest Cassidi sibling has made no ground on achieving his dream. Then the WWF was having a taping of their shows. By chance Damien happened to have chance meeting with a local wrestler. The doors were beginning to open. A few weeks later Damien was training to become a professional wrestler.

Months later, Damien Cassidi began working the Indy scene in his hometown. He had proved to his teachers he was ready to take that next step, and to start his career. After coming up with names Damien and his 2 teachers decided to make a play off his name. Dangerous Damien Cass. Well, Damien took it one step further and decided he would spell it Kass instead. His explanation? His name would actually be Dangerous Damien Kick that Ass but, drop the ick that, and combine the leftovers thus creating the name: “Dangerous Damien Kass.” After losing a few matches but, showing a lot of potential. He impressed an Indy worker from Ohio who was working the show. The 2 talked, and soon DDK was on his way to Ohio to join the IWA. After going through tons of political BS, and other nonsense DDK was in the IWA, and paired up with a rookie wrestler by the name of Trevor Lowe.

The 2 begun to adapt so much to each other they soon wrestled began to wrestle in very much the same style, and knew what move to do when, and what double team without saying a word. The 2 hooked up with an another IWA rookie almost a year later. His name: Marcus Dillon. The New Breed was formed. DDK and T-Lo begun to win tag titles across the Midwest in various companies, and had an amazing feud with The Casanova Clique that ran almost a year. Months later.... The winds of change would almost destroy DDK's career.

The New Breed was disband, Marcus Dillon feuded with Trevor Lowe.... While Damien Kass was left buried in the opening matches, and forced to a minimal role, and usage. Just months later was involved in the main story of the company not that long ago (The infamous Riot Squad/New Breed double cross) There was no upward mobility, and DDK was lost in the shuffle. Confused, frustrated, and angry Damien Cassidi contemplated giving up the DDK persona, and retiring. After talking to his brother Cassidi decided to stick it out just a bit longer. It would become the greatest thing that he would do concerning his career…

A random pairing with yet an another newcomer Hardcore Tommy Chill in a tag team win against Coyote, and Big Country, which they won, the 2 connected. After talking some after the match the 2 decided to become a regular tag team. Several wins later the 2 modified their look for unity, and took a team name. Zero Tolerance became the name, and the IWA hasn't been the same since. Months later the addition to the ranks of former YWA champion The Dragon Bryan Fury, and the trio went on to become the most dominate force in the International Wrestling Alliance.

In March 2002, DDK made the biggest move of his career. He defected from Zero Tolerance. Damien Kass was deemed no. 1 contender after defeating Tommy Chill in controversial fashion after Tommy Chill’s sister; Natasha turned on him allowing DDK to sneak away with the win. DDK faced off against his 1st ever tag partner Trevor Lowe for the IWA World Title. A belt that many said DDK would never win. Not only did DDK win the match against the perhaps the most dominate IWA World Champion ever, he did so cleanly in the middle of the ring. His reign of terror could convicably still be in full swing but, do to several major issues with management in the IWA, DDK left the main place that he been apart of for 95% of his career. DDK has since joined the Premier Wrestling Coalition in central Ohio. And expanded out on shows he is on. He continues to live out his childhood dream as THE ANGRY BLACK MAN, DANGEROUS DAMIEN KASS.
