Wrestling career

Jumpsteady wrestled under the name of Evil Dead in the Juggalo Championship Wrestling. Evil Dead wears a mask that resembles a decaying zombie. Because Evil Dead is dead, he doesn't move around much, but he also doesn't feel pain. The gimmick originally appeared as an on-stage extra to Insane Clown Posse concerts.cite book |last=Bruce |first=Joseph |authorlink=Joseph Bruce |coauthors=Hobey Echlin |editor=Nathan Fostey |title=ICP: Behind the Paint |origdate= |origyear=2003 |origmonth=August |edition=2nd Edition |publisher=Psychopathic Records |location=Royal Oak, Michigan |oclc=53312411 |pages=page 358|chapter=Life on the Road ] Evil Dead would walk around in the background while Insane Clown Posse performed, and would fall dead on stage multiple times. He fall off speaker stacks, off stage props, and even off stage. The gimmick became so popular that he was asked to wrestle in JCW. Evil Dead has won the JCW championship twice, and was the first ever JCW Champion.http://juggalowrestling.com/iframe.php?page_id=roster_evil_dead]

Since Jumpsteady's retirement, Rob Bruce has also retired the Evil Dead character. But Bruce has never announced a return to be impossible. As stated by JCW:"Evil Dead's last JCW appearance was at the Gathering 2005 during the JCW vs TNA 3 Day War [...] He hasn't been seen or heard from since, but never count Evil Dead out, just respect that he's dead. So it's only natural that he spends a lot of time just chillin' at his home in the Napp Cemetery." [http://juggalowrestling.com/iframe.php?page_id=fmq_06]

At the 2008 Gathering of the Juggalos, Insane Clown Posse stated that Juggalo Championship Wrestling will hold a "JCW Legends Show" in 2009 which will feature the return of Evil Dead.
