Homicide began his wrestling more than 25 years ago and since then has competed for some of the biggest wrestling promotions across the globe.
Apart from his multiple stints in IMPACT Wrestling, the 44-year-old has also performed in NWA, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and Japan. Aside from being highly regarded for his in-ring skills, Homicide also possesses impeccable promo skills that have helped him come a long way in the industry.
Could Homicide become a regular in AEW?
Given Homicide has a similar brawler-wrestling style to Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley. Fans could see the trio form a mini stable going forward in AEW. However, this would entirely depend on whether the veteran performer's appearance was a one-off or if any larger plan is in place.
