Later, it would be explained that The Change paid off The Bladerunners so they would throw the match!

Personal Life
Outside of wrestling, King is known to be good friends with fellow CAW Superstars Gage Grayson, Evan O'Shea,Joshua Bishop, Danny Jackpot, Josh McCloud and others

King was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and grew up wanting to be a wrestler, so, he joined the amateur wrestling team at his high school, but as soon as he turned eighteen, he dropped out of high school, so he could become a professional wrestler. after that, he went looking for a school to train at, but had little success. King discovered that the Michigan wrestling scene was pretty dry, so he worked backstage and commentary jobs for NWA Michigan, until eventually he saw an advertisement for the newly opened Grayson Academy. While there, he would hit it off with Gage Grayson, who he would eventually team with as the Bladerunners. After a grueling year of training, King was amongst the first class of graduees, along with Gage. Once he left the academy, he moved out to Los Angelos, he met up with John Blackrose, who would volunteer to take King under his wing, and let him train there. After he was done training with Blackrose, he would get lessons from Ken Shamrock, who was his storyline mentor at the time. Following this, he and Gage would keep being training partners, and helping each other stay at their peak wrestling-wise.

King also books and commentates for many feds under a different persona, so he can commentate without having to use his normal in-ring gimmick. He has booked for  BATTLE PRO, New Outback Championship Wrestling, New-NAW, DCA Wrestling, Wrestling Heaven and EDF.
