Kevin Crash

Kevin Shawn Crash (born as Kevin Coomans on the 17th of October 1989 in Belgium, Louvain (Flanders) and formerely known as Kevin Shawn Caine), is a semi-retired professional wrestler. Crash's last known match was against his brother Danny Pyro in the promotion called SEO.

Early career
Kevin and his twin-brother Liam were born in Belgium, yet raised in England, as were their other brother and sister.

At the age of 10, both Kevin and Liam started developing a passion for wresting, watching World Wrestling Federation (now World Wresting Entertainment) on weekly basis. One year after watching the shows, both Kevin and Liam started taking wrestling lessons in a private wrestling school with their older brother, Stephen.

After graduating, Kevin started working for the government, placing a temporary hold on his wrestling career. After a few months, however, he felt ready to start his own promotion, called EWS.

It wasn't until recruited by SEO as general manager & parttime wrestler that he found himself wresting alongside his brother Liam.

Kevin Crash & Danny Pyro
At the time where either Liam or Kevin joined SEO, superstars were unaware of them being brothers as they kept it a secret. Their looks didn't match (as they are non-identical twins) and they acted as if they didn't like each other one bit.

It wasn't until they both entered the Mini-Money In The Bank match that anyone discovered the truth behind Kevin Crash and Danny Pyro, (who were respectively billed from two different countries: Kevin Crash was billed from Belgium, while Danny Pyro was billed from England) as Kevin Crash dropkicked his former Tag-Team partner, King Mod, down the ladder.

This brought forth a lot of commotion among fans of Priceless Royalty, as the team of Kevin and Mod was called. Some considered it a heel-turn from Kevin Crash, others were left without an opinion... among which King Mod himself.

In an interview for the TV-show Sports Entertainment Weekly, Kevin revealed the reason for dropkicking Mod. "This has nothing to do with a heel-turn or a rivalry between two brands", Kevin said. "It has something to do with making clear statements, which can only be made by shocking people". That was all he wanted to say on the event.

Months later, however, he attended a press-conference for the new superstars on the Agression-roster. His brother, Danny, was mentoring a different newbie. Both men happened to be sitting at one long table with their 'trainees' next to them. Outside wrestling, Kevin and Danny have (despite the fact they are unidentical) some typical twin-like characteristics, which started showing when they were talking about their career and the newbies. A speech that went on for 5 minutes.

When questions were asked after the press-conference, Kevin received the question about the infamous dropkick once more. After hearing this question, both Danny and Kevin started laughing. Shortly after, he replied to the person asking: "Let's just say that the bond between brothers always was and always will be stronger than the bond between team-mates".

In a full interview for the sports teen magazine 'Sportaze', Kevin revealed some more information about the brother-thing. "Me and Danny are indeed brothers in real life. It makes me happy to see that some of you are living in disbelief because you weren't expecting anything like this... which is good, as keeping it a secret was our main goal." he said. "There's more to it than us just being brothers. We're twin-brothers even! Unidentical in looks, yet identical in age, height, skills and even weight".

Kevin didn't get the chance to team up with his brother, but fought his final match (for both SEO and his career so far) against him. In this match he won the 'XOW Heavyweight Championship'. A title he gladly returned to the company when he left.
