Eric Young has been a truly lasting force in pro wrestling.

After making a name for himself in his homeland of Canada, Young would join TNA Wrestling, appearing on the very first edition of TNA Impact. A true company man, Young would be a part of several questionable storylines, including when he became the only man to win the Knockouts Tag Team Championships.

In 2007, Young took weird to the next level, as he became Super Eric, and claimed to be from another planet. Despite the name, Super Eric would refuse to reveal who he was, though did capture the TNA Tag Titles (the men's ones), with Kaz.

All his toiling for the company eventually paid off, as Young was given a World Championship push in 2014, defeating current NWA Champion Nick 'Magnus' Aldis.
