HISTORY
I can give you the full history, according to my Wikipedia (author’s note: Cliff doesn’t have a Wikipedia). FUCK OFF, YOU NO-ACCOUNT!!!
INTRODUCTION:
Clifton Thaddeus “Cliff” Maxwell, is a Canadian professional wrestler, entrepreneur and philanthropist, who is currently signed to both the IWA and the EHWF, where in the EHWF he was previously their Kayfabe President and was a 1-time Tag Team champion. In professional wrestling, Cliff stands among Solomon Graham, Eddie Evans and SWANN (formerly known as Zakk Swann) as being the four greatest graduates from the Graham Academy, often regarded as the “Four Horsemen” of the school. Cliff wrestled for a briefer period of time than his sworn brothers, however, in that smaller time, he made quite an impact and caused a LOT of controversy.
CHAPTER 1: Early Career and First Retirement
He was such a polarizing figure back during his first run. He could recall a lot of incidents, several times where he cussed out children, one time when he made fun of a disabled person, several times where he flipped off fans and tore up his own 8x10’s in front of them, when they asked him for an autograph. If he wasn’t such an amazing talent, he doubts he would’ve been booked as much and as often as he was. But then… came the riot!
One time, he was cutting a promo during a show in a church, somewhere in Rural Ontario (you can already see where this is headed, can’t you?). He got on the mic and the first thing he did was lambast God and bring up every single terrible thing that God ever did: From allowing incest, to not allowing masturbation, to not allowing sex until marriage, and on and on and on… but that wasn’t even the thing that got everyone’s goat. What caused the break, what caused the riot… was this line:
“And you’d think, that if God would do all of that, all of that terrible shit… that he would allow Gay people to live happily, and to prosper… but no. Instead, he gave us YOU fucks!! You, who trash the Gays! You, who call them immoral! You. who cannot live and let live! You… who are even more immoral than SATAN HIMSELF!!!!”
And that fuckin’ DID it! EVERYONE in that audience got up and stormed the ring, trying to KILL Cliff! Cliff had the good sense to hop on them, walk across their heads and exit the building through the front… but they noticed and they CHASED AFTER him, running him out to the fucking highway!! The cops had to be called and the show had to be cancelled. Every single worker on that card, gave the idiot promoter a SLAP across the head for booking Cliff Maxwell, one of which was even his own sworn brother, Solomon Graham, who did more than just slap him, needless to say (he PRETZELLED the guy!)
Shortly thereafter (approx. three months later), he retired for the first time, having made a lot of money and feeling burnt out after watching as his friends get signed to bigger companies… and kinda feeling left behind by them (can you blame him? Solomon Graham was being booked all over the country, Eddie Evans was a bit of a minor celebrity in Ontario at the time, and SWANN had just moved to Japan for his first stint). After his retirement, he moved to Florida at the age of 26, when he inherited an enormous fortune from a deceased relative (around 1 billion dollars in American currency, as well as a mansion that he was to move into immediately). For one full year, he lived the good life… but something was missing. Something that was there before, but now wasn’t… he missed the Wrestling business. And that’s when Danny Hall came a-knockin’!
CHAPTER 2: The Danny Hall era: IBW and GZW
Cliff would receive a phone call from former AXW Champion, Danny Hall, who’d seen tapes of Cliff and thought that he was the exact shot in the arm that his promotion needed. Cliff jumped at the opportunity, looking to dust off his boots and lace ‘em up again! His first match in IBW was a Fatal Four Way match to qualify for the inaugural IBW Unlimited championship match. This qualifier featured two unknowns by the names of Kaiden Cole and Daniel Wolf, and the legendary “Kumquat Kid” Ryan Lewis! Cliff won utilizing shady tactics, pinning the ‘Quat, but after the match, the two had a staredown, in which Ryan made it known that he did not appreciate Cliff’s shady tactics… but Cliff didn’t give a shit, so long as he won the damn match. The other qualifier match was won by a man named Blake Eon, and the two would face off for the Unlimited championship at IBW No Limits.
That match was absolutely fantastic! Both men fought for their right to call themselves champion, but in the end… Cliff Maxwell took it home, once again cheating to win. He was on Cloud Nine during that time, believing that he was the best thing since sliced bread. From that point, IBW went across the pond to the UK for a show, and Cliff would face Kid once again. This time? One on one, non-title. This time, Kid would roll him up and get the win, similar to how Cliff had beaten him to get into the Unlimited title scene.
Cliff had cheated and argued with the ref the entire time. When he was pinned, he even claimed that he kicked out… before then locking in his finisher, the Million Dollar Dream, on Kumquat Kid, forcing him to pass out, before getting on the mic and telling him that despite beating him on that night, he would NEVER defeat him for that title, before flipping the mic and storming out of the building.
From there, Danny Hall and IBW OG’s would get into a MAJOR dispute over quite a few things, such as the booking of two people who were cousins, but didn’t have much motivation behind being a Tag Team, the fact that it was mostly those who were closest to Danny and those whom he knew from AXW who were getting opportunities (they even went as far as to slander Cliff’s name specifically, stating that he was unreliable, unsafe and an egotistical asshole who politicked his way into a top spot). Danny responded the logical way: He parted ways with IBW, taking a handful of others with him.
Then, Danny started up GZW: Ground Zero Wrestling. He managed to sign quite a few names within the Indy wrestling world, but alongside Cliff (who would also wrestle the very first match in GZW’s short history), two other notable signings were none other than SHW roster members, Alex North and Adrian Graves (but you’re not here for them). As stated, Cliff wrestled the very first match in GZW’s history, against a young man by the name of Riley Frysco. Of course, he defeated Riley in swift fashion. GZW only lasted one more show after that and due to a wrestler mutiny, from some kind of Badger, GZW would close its doors. To this day, Cliff regrets following Danny Hall and wonders why he didn’t get the fuck outta there, and take the Unlimited title with him. And then… Kaiden Cole tracked him down.
CHAPTER 3: NEW and FWA
Now, just to clarify: Yes, Cliff did partake in an angle in NEW. No, he was not officially revealed. Not until much later. The angle was very simple: It was designed to break up a stable at the time, the Banditos (which consisted of a few people you might already know: Zakk Swann, who’s been mentioned already in this bio, Andrew Cross and The Stryker Brother), to turn Zakk heel and put him into a Tag Team with Cliff, with the motivation being that he was tired of the Banditos holding him back.
Cliff went under a mask and began attacking members of the Banditos, seeming to favour attacking Andrew Cross the most. Unfortunately, this angle did NOT get to see a proper conclusion, as Kaiden Cole shut it down after a dispute with the Alliance that they were a part of. Cliff once again found himself without a job… until he and SWANN were both contacted by their old friend, Solomon Graham, who offered them both a job with his new federation, the FWA, which was just getting started at the time. They would be featured in a Tag Team as the Renegade Revolution!
They were featured on the FWA’s very first show in an open challenge, where they issued the challenge… but before any other team could accept, they did a promo spot with the Kumquat Kid and Little Quat, KK calling Cliff out over getting rid of his “Gaudy” scarf (a phrase that dates back to their time in IBW and still HAUNTS Cliff) and trying to accept the challenge… which the Renegades REFUSED, on the grounds that Little Quat was not a wrestler and KK did NOT have a Tag Team partner. The team known as Page and Jordan, a younger team who was in FWA for a short time during the beginning, would accept the challenge and would wind up winning after interference from Kumquat Kid.
The feud would continue, when in their next appearance, Kumquat Kid would bring out a guy to team up with, by the name of Jobby McQuat… who would be assaulted by the Renegades, leading to them once again turning down Kumquat’s challenge! That night… the Open Challenge would be accepted by none other… than the Aces of Spades, Dave Spades and Jack Valor! This time, they lost absolutely clean due to their inexperience as a team. Once again, they would be mocked by Kumquat Kid.
On Episode 4 of FWA Fusion, Cliff would be at ringside for a match, between his Tag Team partner SWANN and the Kumquat Kid (who had both Little Quat AND Jobby McQuat at ringside). This match ended via shenanigans, when Cliff slid into the ring whilst the referee was distracted, and LOW BLOWED the SHIT outta Ryan Lewis’s Kumquats, which led to SWANN hitting his finish and securing the win. After the match, Cliff would get into the ring and state that at FWA’s first PPV, Battle For The Arts, he would defeat Kumquat Kid “Once and for all!!” before locking KK in the Million Dollar Dream and passing him out again.
At the first FWA live event, The Renegade Revolution would go into a Six Man Tag Team match, against the Kumquats of Acme, Jobby McQuat, Hostess Avenger and Cupcake Boy. Who was their partner, exactly…? None other… than the monster known as DEATHSTALKER!!! Of course, DEATHSTALKER was the EXACT thing they needed to pick up the win… just a shame it ended just as terribly for them, as ‘STALKER would turn on them and leave them laying in the middle of the ring, having left an Impact.
Then, finally, at Battle For The Arts, Cliff and Kumquat would go at it one last time. BUT… there was an added twist: You remember how Cliff Maxwell never lost the IBW Unlimited title? Well, guess what? FWA’s Authority Figure, Jooey Grymm, would come out while both men were in the ring, Jooey announced that he’d gotten ahold of Danny Hall and with his blessing, he would be re-instating the IBW Unlimited championship, as the FWA Unlimited championship (later to be held by the likes of SWANN, Donald Dream and even the last ever EWS King of Deathmatch champion, Ryu Matsumura). Cliff would lose this match, which led to Kumquat Kid having one of the best runs of his career (which is STILL going on in EWS right now).
Cliff then left FWA, only to return for a single one-off match against Draco Cutler, which didn’t last but a few seconds as he locked Draco in the Million Dollar Dream and passed him out almost instantly. Cliff would sit at home, even more disenfranchised with the business than he was before. But then, after MONTHS of being at home… a man by the name of Michael Rissi reached out to him.
CHAPTER 4: EHWF: Presidency and Tag Team title run
Michael had passed along the message from EHWF Owner, Fernandez Gomez: Fernandez had rather enjoyed Cliff’s work and wanted to bring him on board as an On-Screen authority figure. Cliff stated that if he did this, he would have to wrestle on the show. Fernandez agreed and Cliff signed the contract, being allowed to bring in only one other person. He reached out to his good friend, Solomon Graham, whom he thought could do with some Worldwide exposure… the only problem is that Sol is banned from wrestling in a few of the places that EHWF would hit and as such, he couldn’t be signed… but he had a solution to the problem: His first masked alter ego, Sidius Grimm!
Cliff and Sol would be placed into a stable with a relatively unknown Puerto Rican strongman by the name of Cesar Rose, who’d been training to become a Professional wrestler for quite a bit and had a deep respect and appreciation for the business. He was a good dude and a solid Giant. His only problem was that he was green as goose shit. BUT… at least he had veterans to work with and he had Cliff. This run would earn Cliff one Tag title reign that didn’t last particularly long. He won it alongside Sidius Grimm and via the Freebird rule, Cesar could also have been considered a champion.
His run would be cut relatively short when he stepped away from wrestling once again and considered retiring for good. He’d grown to seriously resent his friend, Solomon, who’s attitude during this whole run was an absolute mess of clumsiness, backsass and shutting everyone who tried to communicate with him out. “No wonder you got banned from these places! Your attitude is such shit when you’re here!” is a direct quote from Cliff himself, regarding Sol’s attitude. Cliff knew of Graham’s troubles adjusting to unfamiliar environments, but he just wasn’t used to dealing with it anymore. He needed a break.
And here’s where we are now. Cliff has been at home for the past few months, not even taking regular bookings for feds in Florida, which is where he still lives. He’s been bored out of his mind, just looking for something to do… and this, my dear friends… is where Steve Corman and the IWA... come in.
Hmm… some of that shit’s outta date. I oughta talk to a moderator about that.
