[edit] Career
[edit] Early Years
Before the infamous name of Hawaiian Hardhead started, he was born in Tampa Bay, Florida to a wrestling family. His father was the owner of a place called Tampa Bay Wrestling Academy (TBWA) and as soon as HHH was old enough, he was signed up for it, to his father's and brother's encouragement.
[edit] TBWA
Within weeks of joining, under the moniker Hunter, his last name, HHH won the International Title, the academy's second top title. But within a week, he lost it to a man by the name of "The Black Seagull", a luchadore from Mexico City. But the next week, he won it back, wearing the title for a tremondous seven months before losing it to "The Black Seagull" again in an hellacious 6-Way Free For All Match.
[edit] Run With Tag Team Titles
Nearly a month after losing the International Title, Hawaiian Hardhead won the Tag Team Titles with his own dad, but they were vacated when Hawaiian Hardhead was out with an injury of a legitimate Torn ACL that put him out for 5 months. When Hawaiian Hardhead, he won them back, this time with his brother, Frank Hunter. They eventually lost them to the "Brothers in Arms" stable when Frank Hunter was pinned by Marcus.
[edit] First Heel Run
A week later in their rematch with the Brothers in Arms, Hawaiian Hardhead turned heel in the first time in his career, abandoning his brother in the midst of the match, allowing the Brothers to get the pin and the win. Hawaiian Hardhead eventually beat and injured his brother at the next Supercard, entitled "Utter Destruction", where HHH legitimately tore his brother's shoulder muscle. The kayfabe response for Frank being out is because he was scared of Hunter. Uppon Frank's absence, he was relaced by their father, the current Heavyweight Champion. Although they faced off for the title, Hawaiian Hardhead never won it.
[edit] Hunter Family Feud
When Frank returned, it was a handiacp match with Luke and Frank vs. Hardhead. It ended in a no contest when Frank beat down Luke, turning him a neutral. The next supercard, entitled "Broken Hearts" it was triple threat match for Luke's Heavyweight Title, where Luke retained. The next week, Hardhead and Frank faced off for contendorship, which Frank won. The title match was next week, where Luke retained. With this win, Luke was the longest reigning champion in the history of the academy. The next week, Hardhead finally won the title, giver take losing it within minutes to Luke once again. This was the shortest title reign in the history of the academy.
[edit] Future Contract
When the feud collapsed, Hawaiian Hardhead and Frank were entered into a 4-Way Ladder Match, where the winner would get a future shot at the Heavyweight Title, which Hardhead won. Hardhead earned a shot at the title without cashing in the contract. He faced his father at the next supercard, and just barely lost the match, thanks to an interfering Frank.
[edit] Final Frank-Hardhead Feud
Frank and Hardhead feuded for the next few months, the final match being the first Cage Match for the recently vacated International Title, which Hardhead won. The next night, it was the two brothers face to face for the title, with Frank the winner. After this, Hardhead took a sabbatical.
[edit] Sabbatical and Return to TBWA
From here on, Hardhead took a sabbatical from wrestling for 4 months, until returning and facing Frank for the International Title, winning it once again for the fourth time. He tied the most reigns with The Black Seagull.
[edit] International Title Reign and Run
Hardhead defended the title against Black Seagull and lost. The next week it was a triple threat match including Marcus of the now disbanded Brothers in Arms. Marcus walked out the winner and the next week, Hardhead won his final International Title. He now had the most reigns of any title, next to his dad with the most reigns of the Heavyweight Title, with record setting 9 times.
[edit] Closing of TBWA and Final Night

At the last match of the night, Luke Hunter tookon his son Frank for the Heavyweight Title, with Luke walking out the winner for the 10th time. Right after the match, Hardhead finally cahshed in his contract for a shot at the title, walking out the winner. The show ended with the three Hunter's hugging in the middle of the ring.

[edit] 2007-Mid-2008
[edit] 2nd Sabattical and Run on Impact
At the start of 2007, Hardhead went on another sabattical from wrestling and it wasn't until the first night of Impact that Hardhead returned, claiming the victories in the first two events before going on a losing streak that lasted until the next month. Included in the losing streak was a match at Autumn in Hell in which Hardhead lost to The Night Rider in what was labeled as an "Insane" Last Man Standing Match.
[edit] XWF Ownership
During the month September and October, Hardhead posted campaigns for XWF Ownership. He staked his claim as wanting to be the owner. On the same night he lost to The Night Rider, in a match between Patience Pryce and Jonathyn Brown for XWF Ownership, Jonathyn revealed he had sold 99% of stock to Hardhead himself, thus making him the XWF Owner. He was labeled as an XWF Dictator when he suspended stars like Jem Williams, J Diddy, and others, as well as firing Impact GM Peter Stanton. He even combined Massacre and Anarchy to form Insanity, a supercard that lasted for two weeks. Something else he started was the "Golden Ticket", which was started so those on Impact could go to Massacre or Anarchy. At the Lord of the Ring 2007 PPV, Hardhead lost in Ownership to longtime rival Eric Anderson, thus resparking their feud. Eric immediately gave the Ownership to Jonathyn in return for a favor. (The favor was later cashed in for the GM Position when Peter Stanton remained fired).
[edit] Losing Streak and Feud With Eric
Hardhead once again went on another losing streak, starting at the Lord of the Ring PPV main event, the Lord of the Ring Match. It ended at the next PPV, X-Mas X-Treme when Hardhead beat Ryou Bakiri Itemri, gaining 100 points in the process. The person who bet on Hardhead was revealed to be Eric, resparking their feud yet again, ending it when Eric yet again left the XWF.
[edit] Run With Titles
In early 2008, Hawaiian Hardhead won the X-Treme Title in the 24/7 boards, but unfortunately lost it a month later at Turning Point to Thomas Davis. A month later at the What Would Jonathyn Do PPV, he participated in a Battle Royal for the X-Treme Title, albeit unsuccessfully, though he returned later in the match to help Thomas win by eliminating Sparrow. He then cashed in 30 of his own points for a Hart Title shot against DeWayne Carter and Xander Azula in a Ladder Match at Hell on Earth, in which he successfully won the title with help from James Raven.
[edit] Minor Feuds
Within the next month he had minor feuds with James Raven, Sparrow, and Krazzy Kidd. It ended when Kidd left Impact (later to return), Hardhead beat Raven in an X-Treme Match, and afterwards when Sparrow, the special ref, attacked both Hardhead and Raven with a Barbed-Wire Baseball Bat.
[edit] Heel Turn and "Black" Hart Title Reign.
On the Impact after winning the title, Hawaiian Hardhead turned heel, into a monster/deranged heel, focusing on the 'Insane' in his nicknake "The Insane Delgado". To influence this, Hawaiian Hardhead (kayfabe) attacked a fan at an airport for taking his Hart Title, (kayfabe) beating up a person on the streets, and for renaming the Hart Title the "Black Hart" Title, playing on the pun of a "black heart".
At the Zero Tolerance PPV, Hawaiian Hardhead lost his Hart Title against Maximus with Eric Anderson as the special ref. After the match, Eric attacked Hardhead, resparking their feud. On the next Impact, Hardhead yet again unsuccssfully challenged for the Hart Title with a triple threat match that also included Eric Anderson, but since Maximus won, he moved to Massacre, thus making the title vacant.
On the Mega Massacre event, the first ever Stacked Hell in a Cell Match in the XWF between Hawaiian Hardhead and Eric Anderson took place to crown a new Hart Champion.
Hardhead eventually walked out the winner, reclaiming his "Black" Hart Title and on the June 14th episode of Impact, it was revealed that Eric cashed in his rematch clause. On that same episode, Brian Cady debuted and was added to the "Black" Hart Title Match at Bad Medicine, the next PPV, the next week when he beat Kevin Jewart.
At Bad Medicine, Hawaiian Hardhead lost his "Black" Hart Title to Brian Cady.
At the return of Anarchy, he lost the King of XWF Battle Royal, and also remained on Impact.
[edit] Mid-2008
On the July 5th edition of Impact, Hardhead officialy named himself "Impact's Enforcer" claiming that no management can stop him and that he does what he wants. He also beat Richard Bishop, a wrestler who goes to a high school in Greenville, North Carolina, where that Impact was held. Later in that same night he was attacked by Richard's brother, Trent Bishop, leaving Hardhead dazed under the lights on the stage.
[edit] Losing Streak
Hardhead then went on yet another losing streak, starting with Trent Bishop, losing to Trent twice, as well as Chasm and Lunatic in a 6-Man Tag with Hardhead's partners, the Young Guns, and a one on one match with Chasm. The streak finally ended when he beat Kevin Jewert the next week.
[edit] Phoenix Title and Leaving
At 08-08-08, Hardhead made a promo claiming that as Impact's Enforcer, it's for the best of Impact to name himself Phoenix Champion. On the next episode of Impact, he cut a promo saying he was the Phoenix Champion, only to be interuppted by Hardcore Smitty. Smitty made Hardhead look like an idiot and an ass. The next week, Hardhead competed in a Rat Race to crown a new Phoenix Champion, in which Chasm won. Soon after, Hardhead delivered a shoot saying he's no longer an XWF Superstar. Fans have been speculating whether this was a work or if it's true or not.
[edit] 3rd Sabattical, Planned Return, and ICW
HHH then took another sabattical, and was planned to return to XWF under the moniker of Jack Deathshot. After it was deemed to controversial, this was scrapped. HHH has sinced signed a contract with International Championship Wrestling, appearing under his real name.
[edit] Late 2008-Early 2009
ICW quickly closed and HHH returned to the XWF, again, on Impact. After a few weeks, he joined the Lords of Impact. When that soon collapsed due to Chad, the leader, leaving, he set out on a solo run, again. During this time, when someone said Deathshot three times, he turned into an alter ego known as Jack Deathshot, the character that was plannd as his original return. Eventually, after GM'ing Impact for a night, he, again, left the XWF. He signed with Pro Wrestling Evolution soon after and is now starting up again there.
[edit] Pro Wrestling Evolution
Upon joining PWE, he joined the stable.....(Un)Stable, consisting of himself, Legion, Lunatic, and Tomoko Hanahara, all superstars who play messed up people on screen. HHH lost his first match, lost the Violence Title debut match, and then lost another match, in which he then took a break, as suggested by Lunatic or Legion's manager. He returned in the 2009 State Penn Match, where he won it. This was the first major victory by Hawaiian Hardhead since his final win over Eric Anderson. On the first Solitary after the State Penn, Hawaiian Hardhead re-debuted as Jack Deathshot, putting the PWE on notice and scaring Christian Connolly, the PWE owner, out of the ring with his signature barbed wire bat. On the following week, Jack Deathshot returned and cashed in his Golden Ticket prize, which he won when he won the State Penn Match, for a Universal Title shot at the next PWE PPV, Summer Slaughter. This announcement also came with him leaving (Un)Stable as the defacto leader, Tomoko Hanahara, is the current champ. Later in the same Solitary, it was announced that Tanabashi M_________, was added to the match, making it a Triple Threat Match. After the show had ended, it was announced it would be a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match.
Come SummerSlaughter, the three faced in a brutal match that saw HHH legitimately injure his ribs when he took a spot that saw him fall off of the top of the cell onto a piece of the cell that was hanging over the ramp barricades. Mid-match, he was to be taken to the hospital by EMT's, but he himself chose to continue. Although he didn't win the match, having watched Tommy retain, pinning Tanabashi, all three competitors did get a standing ovation. After the event, he was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. It has been reported that he was in the hospital for a day, having had surgery to repair broken ribs. Afterwards, HHH was advised to rest for a couple weeks before wrestling again.
HHH returned, sealing his Jack Deathshot allias away. Eventually, he got into a feud with Shawn Christopher, the person who HHH last pinned to win the State Penn Match. At the time, Shawn was the Gateway CHampion having held it for a few months. The two faced for the title at Cyberslam V, live in the Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. While Shawn came out with the New York Yankees' star players, HHH took the high road, instead coming out with Nu Jersey Devil, and have him rap Hardhead's theme music live. As the match came to a close, HHH was able to hit a Hawaiian Hammer to clinch himself the win, and his fourth ever championship in a pro wrestling ring.
