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. From 1979 to 1992, he worked on the independent circuit under the ring name Tex "Handlebar" 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 Tex "Handlebar" 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.
