Bloodpain

Bloodpain (born March 15, 1959) is an American professional wrestler, wrestling promoter, trainer, and the chairman of the Murakumo Group. He is the executive vice president of Nexus Pro-Wrestling (NPW), where he also serves as an in-ring talent. He is the founder and leader of the Murakumo Group a faction of enforcers tasked to keep other stables in check and also act as trainers of the Murakumo Dojo. On February 14, 1999, he became just the second man to hold the EWF World Championship and would go on to win it five more times, making him a record-setting six-time and longest reigning champion in history at 787 days (second reign). He is also a two-time NPW World Television Champion as well as an eight-time NPW World Tag Team Champion, three with Mason Storm, two with his son, Pride, and three with Murakumo stablemate Gauntlet 12. Bloodpain is recognized by NPW as a Triple Crown Champion.

From 1979 to 1992, he worked on the independent circuit under the ring name "The Ironclad Breaker" Tex Pain, most notably for Southwest Championship Wrestling (SCW), World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), and internationally for Stampede Wrestling. Bloodpain signed with NPW (then known as UCW and later EWF) in 1993 following the dissolution of Jim Crockett Promotions Inc., in which he began to doubt the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)'s influence on the wrestling industry. After spending most of his years as "Roadkiller" Tex Pain, a brooding heel biker, he felt that his career needed to move in a new direction, and signing with a brand new promotion was the first step.
