Wrestling career

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Maximum Capacity trained at the School Of Hard Knocks under former WWF preliminary wrestler Rusty Brooks. Billy Fives also played a large role in training Max. He taught him a lot of grappling, submission moves that Fives was famous for in Japan.[2] Max used to work as a bodyguard and bouncer at many of South Florida's finest nightclubs. Capacity gave up this line of work when he was involved in a very dangerous bar incident and took up wrestling.

Capacity began working for the now defunct Future of Wrestling in January 2001.[3] He quickly became their number one heel. During his time in FOW, Max faced the likes of Jerry "The King" Lawler, Barry Horowitz and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Max was defeated for the FOW Hardcore Title by Horowitz in 2002.[4]

Max worked against Chris Raaber for the EWA World Heavyweight Championship in Leoben, Austria in November 2003.[5]

After taking 2½ years off due to injuries, Capacity returned to the ring for Pro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX in Japan in October 2006.[6] He did a 10 match tour throughout Japan. During this tour he faced the likes of Masato Tanaka, Shinjiro Otani and Takao Ōmori.[7][8]

After his return to America, Max began working for D1PW in Davie, FL. D1PW has thus since begun an invasion angle with a North Carolina based company called WCEW. Maximum Capacity defeated Tommy Vandal on July 21, 2007 for their Extreme Title.[9]

Max just completed another overseas tour. Wrestling in Tuggen, Switzerland on May 23, 2009 vs Jamie Gardner for the WWPW Heavyweight title.[10]

TV and Movie career

Maximum Capacity did a very successful episode of The Jerry Springer Show in 2001 called 3 Pigs and A Trailer. This has since gone on to become a Springer Classic. Max has also appeared on numerous TV Wrestling shows throughout Europe, Asia and America. Max has also appeared on Germany's largest TV station RTL, when they did a featured story on him in 2003 when he wrestled in Austria.

Max has just completed filming on his first movie. Death Print is set to be released in the spring of 2009.[11]

Max was involved in the Celebrity Boxing 25 show at the Hard Rock Casino Passions nightclub where Jose Canseco sent his brother Ozzie instead. Max wrestled the opening match vs Jordan Rayner on March 26, 2011. Max is scheduled to work the June 4, 2011 show for promoter Damon Feldman when they return to South Florida.
