TJ Thompson, better known by his ring name Hatchet Ryda, is a professional e-wrestler and rapper signed to Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) performing on its Insanity brand. He currently reigns as the LPW Hardcore Champion, where he is a member of Psych Ward alongside his former nemesis now friend, Blackwell.

Heavily influenced by the Insane Clown Posse and the Six Jokers Cards, Hatchet Ryda has wrestled all over the United States and Mexico. After being exiled from Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), Hatchet landed with LPW where he quickly rose to prominence on its Insanity brand when he defeated Magic to win the Newbie Championship Series. Impressed with each others' abilities, Hatchet and Magic teamed to form the Wild Card Warriors, winning the LPW United States Tag Team Championship. After losing the tag titles at Dead Man's Hand, Hatchet won the LPW Hardcore Championship later in the night and began the most impressive reign in the title's history. Once Magic announced his retirement, Hatchet Ryda formed Psych Ward with Andy Savana and Blackwell, but Savana's jealousy of Hatchet's success eventually shattered their friendship. Hatchet and Savana are scheduled to face each other at Body Count with the Hardcore Championship on the line. (more...)
