Phantom Lord

Phantom Lord is an American e-wrestler that performs with Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) on its Insanity brand. He currently is a member of The Illuminati, along with D. Hammond Samuels, SoL, and Krimson Mask.

A founding member of the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance (PWA) in 2003, Phantom Lord made his name by playing mind games with his opponents and leaving a trail of bodies around the world. During his PWA career, he won the PWA United States Championship and PWA United States Tag Team Championship, while also having won the PWA Hardcore Championship until declaring "hardcore wrestling was dead", then retiring the title to become the first (unoffical) PWA Television Champion. After suffering a career threatening injury, Phantom was forced out of the PWA by then-owner Villiano 187. In 2008, he was inducted into the LPW Hall of Fame.

At Body Count, Phantom shocked the world by revealing himself to be the masked Genocide, avenging himself from his firing three years earlier to take out Villiano in the DeathCube match by striking him with a hammer. After the match, Phantom realigned with D. Hammond Samuels, SoL, and Krimson Mask to bring back The Illuminati.

Career
Phantom Lord is a wrestler for Lords Of Pain Wrestling. Originally a founding member of the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance, Phantom was in the very first PPV main event when he lost in a steel cage match to Marty for the vacant PWA World Heavyweight Championship. He originally focused on Tag Team Wrestling and formed a tag team with Woo Warrior as The All American Wrecking Crew and they made it to the finals in the PWA World Tag Team Tournament but lost in a triple threat elimination match to The MP Mafia and Latino Meat.

Eventually moving into singles competition, he challenged Bestest for the PWA Hardcore Championship and won it inside an Exploding Steel Cage Death Match in Boston. On the following Schizophrenia show, he threw down the Hardcore title declaring Hardcore Wrestling to be dead and he pulled out a new belt and declared himself to be the PWA World Television Champion. During this time he took a group of wrestlers under his wing and they formed The Axis Of Evil and it was here that he began to embrace his evil personified persona. He set his sights on Shorty (a former PWA Women's Champion) and eventually proceeded to systematically brain wash her and turn her from her sweet loving persona into an evil hate filled one. A controversial video aired on PWA Television where it showed he had taken her and had her strapped to a chair and subjected her to water boarding to condition her mind to his liking. Some say he did it just to show he could while others say he became obsessed with her when she refused an advance. Either way it was during what many call the Golden Era of the PWA when their shows were second to none.

Phantom soon after started teaming with SoL and they formed a mutual alliance during SoL's first run as PWA World Champion. Phantom having won the PWA United States Championship. Eventually with pieces in place they found Ham Sammich (D. Hamond Samuels) and brought him to a PWA PPV event where he confronted Villiano and the three forced Vil to sign over control of the PWA to them. He did and Ham broke Vil's arm for fun and it was at that moment The Illuminati was born.

Phantom is a known conspiracy theorist and The Illuminati is the biggest one of them all so that is why he came up with this name for this group of the eliete.

Phantom was instrumental in working out a deal with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling for a talent exchange program which saw him appaear on TNA programming where he took out Dusty Rhodes when Rhodes was having a Bullrope match on a TNA PPV as a favor for Rhodes opponent.

This all led to the TNA/PWA King Of The Mountain tournament to determine who had the better brand. Held in Orlando, Fl at the Impact Zone TNA won the event but in the main event Phantom Lord put up the PWA United States Championship against Shane Douglas in a I Quit Six Sides Of Steel match. Phantom won when Douglas was hanged over the side of the cage and Phantom said he would drop him unless he said I Quit. Douglas did and Phantom dropped him anyway 15 feet to the floor through a table.

With time The Illuminati grew but in August of 2005 a legal issue arose between Phantom and the owners of the PWA which saw his contract terminated after he lost a I Quit Match between himself and Sick Nick for the United States Championship with Shane Douglas as the referee. At the following PPV, he was publically fired and thrown out of the company and spent the next three years toiling away on the Indies looking for a way back when he found it thanks to Zuma and the masked persona Genocide.

With The Illuminati back together and bigger then ever, only time will tell if Phantom will go for the one title which has evaded him his whole career, the World Heavyweight Championship
