Profile Information
Known throughout the industry as "The King of Swerves", Mirage
built a career on garnering the trust and friendship of many only to destroy
that trust/friendship in a very public and often brutal way. In one of the
more brutal and heinous feuds (or series of stunts if you prefer), Mirage
"crowned" the character sister of Deathwatch and Punisher and
close friend of OutKast (named Sahara), as the queen of AODWF by planting
a crown of barbwire on her head while her brothers watched on and a helpless
OutKast took in the horror from below the jumbotron. When OutKast went to
make the save, Mirage threw Sahara off the jumbotron through the stage below,
however, story later revealed it was all a stunt planned by Mirage. Months
into the feud, Mirage faced OutKast in one of the first ever Hell in a Cell
matchs that took place on a regular Monday Night show. Sahara would become
involved in the match, and a scene unfolded where Mirage threatened to throw
the "already injured" Sahara off of the cage placing OutKast in
a precarious position of choosing to either save his friend or to finish
Mirage and claim the world title. OutKast saved Sahara which wound up costing
him the match. Mirage stood victorious in the Hell in a Cell in one of the
more memorable non-PPV main event matches of it's time. When the fued culminated
at the yearly big PPV event in a ladder match, Sahara revealed her true
colors in an attempt to help Mirage, but only succeeded in sparking a fire
in OutKast that Mirage was unable to contain. OutKast won the AODWF World
Title and subsequently ended one of the most memorable title reigns in AODWF
history.
Considered one of the great storytellers in the industry, Mirage would
often meticulously plan a story from start to finish while relying on
his opponents to sell the idea and keep the plan very secret from industry
insiders to preserve the suprise endings. Quite often, Mirage would switch
the endings at the last minute to the dismay of those invovled, thus garnering
him the name the King of Swerves. Although one would believe this wouldn't
continue working, people would continue to work with Mirage as he had
a way of bringing talent alive, so the risk of working with him was often
worth the reward.
Mirage has held multiple titles, including the Shoot Project and AODWF
World Championship Titles.
