Hailing from South Boston, Massachusetts Corey Casey grew up fighting in the streets from a young age. As he grew up he watched professional wrestling as an escape from his alcoholic father. He eventually grew up and decided to enroll himself in the Killer Kowalski school of wrestling. He quickly joined NAW (New Age Wrestling) and became the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in the company’s history, while also becoming the Extreme Champion as well. After NAW shut its doors, Corey Casey joined Championship Wrestling Federation and, once again, became the first and only IC champion. When CWF closed its doors, he kicked around the Indy circut before signing a contract with NLWF along with his best friend and the other half of the tag team known as Lethal Injection, Ryan Apollos.
..:: Salvation’s Blindness ::..
During his first week in NLWF, Corey Casey was approached by the owner of NLWF and leader of Salvation Brenton Cyrus. BC asked Corey Casey if he had been saved…a question CC had been asking himself all his life. CC soon turned to Salvation and Brenton Cyrus for guidance and was able to “sit under the learning tree” as it were. CC learned a great deal about wrestling and how NLWF worked as an entity from Brenton Cyrus. BC played a massive impact on CC’s career to the point where CC will, sometimes, re-use and utilize some of BC’s signature moves when all else fails. After sitting at the right hand of a man who believed himself to be God though, who could blame CC for imitating Cyrus?
..:: The Rise of The Lord ::..
At Majority Rules, Brenton Cyrus was thought to be murdered by Nick Ridicule, leaving Corey Casey as the seemingly heir apparent to the throne of Salvation. CC soon dubbed himself “The Lord of Salvation” and gathered a following around him consisting of Steven Angel. Havoc, Carmine and Frank Hart. They say that absolute power corrupts absolutely…and The Lord proved that theory to be right time and again. The Lord formed what he called “Salvation’s New Dawn” and seemed poised to take back the World Heavyweight Title that he had lost a few months earlier. But it was not to be. Instead, The Lord soon found himself embroiled in a bitter feud with first Jason Hawk and then Shadow Demon which resulted in CC capturing the NLWF Undisputed Championship not once but twice.
..:: The Asylum ::..
It was after a brutal match with Nick Ridicule that CC was placed under arrest and stood accused of three counts of murder that he didn’t commit. The judge sentenced CC to serve time in the Salinas Mental Asylum in Salinas, California. Corey underwent intensive therapy to combat the slew of voices he constantly heard in his head as well as the hallucinations he suffered from. He claimed to be seeing "The Lord"...an evil version of himself that was completely and totally dedicated to Brenton Cyrus and Salvation. The Asylum would later become a symbol of safety when CC found himself beleaguered by the voices that would whisper to him from the darkness of his mind.
..:: Bad Company ::..
While he was undergoing therapy, Corey's career plateaued. He was still in the main event...but he couldn't seem to finish the job and regain the levels of glory he had once attained. It wasn't until the Summer BBQ PPV that Corey's career skyrocketed once more. The main event saw Corey Casey and Chuck Matthews taking on the team of Nick Ridicule and Jason Hawk. Even though everyone said that Corey and Chuck could not co-exist on a team, the two men banded together to win the match and the Tag Team Titles. Corey Casey and Chuck Matthews then named their team "Bad Company" and went on to dominate NLWF for a few weeks before Nick Ridicule enacted a bull shit rule and stripped Bad Company of the Tag Team Titles.
Later that same night, Chuck Matthews (for whatever reason) kicked Corey out of Bad Company. But Corey wasn't concerned; he was 8-0-1 in his last 9 matches and riding an undefeated streak that was doing wonders for his confidence. Not to mention that, at this point in his career, Corey was 5-0 inside the demonic structure known as "The Double Cage Horror"
..:: Fight The World ::..
Soon after, Fight the World was born as a splinter group that stood in resistance of NLWF which was controlled by Corey's longtime enemy Chuck Matthews. Corey suffered a devastating loss to Gunther but, the very next week, Corey rebounded and managed to not only redeem his previous loss to Gunther but also win the FTW XXX Champion, sealing his spot as the promotion's only XXX Champion. It was during his time in FTW that Corey proposed to his girlfriend (and the sister of Chuck Matthews) Jessica Matthews. Jessica then informed Corey that she was pregnant with Corey Casey's children (twins).
..:: An Insurgency Is Born ::..
FTW soon shut down, forcing Corey to return to NLWF. But, a month after Corey return to NLWF, the promotion began to downward spiral. Nick Ridicule became drunk with power and began to become mentally unhinged. Corey then left his NLWF and, once again, allied with his long time enemy and soon to be brother in-law Chuck Mathews...this time to lay the foundation of the fledgling Insurgency Wrestling Federation.
It was at IWF's first Pay Per View (Demolition Day) That Corey Casey faced off against his toughest challenge to date...Brandon Macdonald. The two had never faced off before, despite both men being considered to be the top two wrestlers on the planet. Corey and Brandon finally met at Demolition Day in an epic encounter to determine the first ever IWF Champion...a match that Corey Casey walked out of triumphant as the FIRST EVER IWF CHAMPION!
..:: Return of The Lord ::..
Nick Ridicule soon signed an IWF contract and entered into a war with his longtime enemy, Corey Casey. The two men battled back and forth inside the Isolation Dome but Nick’s onslaught was too much for CC. Corey Casey was blinded by his own rage and fell victim to Nick Ridicule. After losing to Nick, The Lord began to slowly but surely creep into CC’s subconscious mind and begin to plant the seeds of doubt that would eventually drive CC completely and totally insane.
..:: Path to Valhalla ::..
Corey Casey somehow managed to continue to succeed, despite constantly fighting The Lord for control of his mind and body. CC was named one of the participants in the first ever Path to Valhalla match in IWF history to determine who would challenge James Shark at From The Ashes for the right to be called the IWF World Heavyweight Champion. After mowing through his opponents and finally defeating Ruben Ricardo Leon, and after CC was declared the official winner of the Path to Valhalla match, Brandon Macdonald made his surprise return and unofficially defeated CC, causing a controversy that would directly impact the main event at IWF’s Biggest PPV of the Year.
..:: From The Ashes/Return to Glory ::..
It was soon announced by GM Jason Hawk that CC and Brandon Macdonald would fight James Shark in a Triple Threat Match at IWF’s Biggest PPV of the Year for the right to be called IWF World Heavyweight Champion. Jason Hawk also announced that both CC and Brandon Macdonald had to put up their ownership of IWF as sacrifice fee to be involved in the match. Neither CC or Brandon thought twice and both men signed on the dotted line and the main event at iWF’s Biggest PPV of the Year was set in stone.
During the course of the match, CC’s master plan to utilize the returning Lemongrass Gogulope as a distraction worked to perfect as Lemongrass Gogulope managed to take out James Shark just long enough for CC to pin James Shark and become IWF World Heavyweight Champion for the 2nd time in his illustrious career, as well as become the majority owner of IWF! CC had finally regained the title that he felt that he was destined to hold…the title he felt he never truly lost…and had become the majority owner of the company that he had given his blood, sweat, and tears to create. CC felt as though nothing could go wrong…
..:: A Knife in the Back ::..
But being the IWF World Heavyweight Champion soon gave rise to the jealousy of a man that CC had helped to train and, at one point in time, was closer to him than a brother. Vincent Van Rose and Corey Casey had become close friends ever since VVR had debuted with IWF. CC saw a little bit of himself in the upstart Southern Sledgehammer and used his influence as Co-Owner of IWF to help VVR rise quickly through the ranks. CC even went so far as to introduce his fiancé Jessica Matthews to VVR, a move that would prove to be disastrous later on.
After FTA, VVR began to pester CC about giving him a shot at the IWF World Heavyweight Championship. CC constantly denied his best friend, not wanting to have to fight the man he considered to be closer to him than anyone besides Jessica. Unbeknownst to CC, VVR was secretly working the angles to manipulate both Corey and Jessica Matthews into ending their relationship. Using the same tactics that he had learned from CC, VVR managed to prey on Corey Casey’s volatile temper and finally convinced CC to fight him at Fallout.
..:: The End of an Era ::..
It was at Fallout, during the main event, that the past would rise up from the grave and cost CC his career. Months earlier CC had ordered VVR and the other members of The Chosen to lynch Brenton Cyrus on the last episode of Showtime, a task which the members of The Chosen had carried out without a second thought. However, on this night, the past would prove to be CC’s downfall. During the main event a figure dressed as the Grim Reaper appeared at ringside and locked eyes with CC before slowly reaching up and taking down his hood…revealing the smiling face of Brenton Cyrus. BC then slid into the ring and helped VVR to brutalize CC before VVR finally pinned his former best friend and won the IWF Title from CC
..:: Upper Limit ::..
After the severe beating CC took at Fallout, Corey Casey found himself falling apart at the seams. His greatest fear began to be realized as The Lord once again began to show up in his life, causing CC's mental state to deteriorate. CC knew he had to seek alternative means of health and so Corey Casey went to a Buddhist ashram high in the mountains of Nepal. For three months Corey Casey took solace in the ashram, learning how to control his anger. It was during his time in the ashram that CC confronted and permanently banished The Lord from the darkest corners of his mind for the first time in his life.
After overcoming The Lord once and for all, CC knew he had to return to the modern world and try to correct the wrongs he had done in his life. So Corey Casey packed up and returned to America. Upon his return, CC called Brandon Macdonald. Corey Casey knew Brandon was the only one who could help CC...if only because Brandon knew, to some extend, what CC was going through. After talking to Brandon, CC returned to IWF at the New Year's Evil PPV to join up with Brandon, Carmine Vesiteri, Chuck Matthews, Robbie Hart and James Shark to form the group known as Upper Limit.
..:: The Streak Continues ::..
However after a month or so, Upper Limit began to fracture as members went their own separate ways, leaving only CC, and Robbie Hart as the two active members left of the group. It was during this time that CC entered into a feud with Steel Angel. Steel Angel, under the direction of IWF CEO Rick Christian, began to stalk Corey Casey's family in an attempt to make CC's life a living hell. Steel Angel and CC would embark in a feud that would last two months and culminate in the Double Cage Horror match at the Nowhere to Run PPV. It was at this PPV that Corey Casey defeated Steel Angel and extended his DCH Streak to an impressive 11-0-1
..:: Defending IWF's Honor ::..
After the WEW vs. IWF PPV, Stygian announced that he was going to take the IWF World Heavyweight Championship [that he had taken with him upon his leaving the company in late 2011] and defend it against competitors over seas and in other feds. Stygian began posting on Twitter that he would gladly drag the IWF WHC through the mud...a fact that CC could not and would not let slide. After weeks of negotiating and after weeks of mind games and assaults back and forth, Corey Casey and Stygian met in the first ever Hellzone match at Ragnarok...a match that would see Corey Casey not only lose...but would also be the last match of Corey Casey's career. The Hellzone match between Stygian and Corey Casey is viewed by many as the single most legendary match ever seen in not only IWF history, but in Professional Wrestling history. It was during the lead up to this match that some say that Stygian helped Corey Casey in a match against Dan Alexander at Battle Grounds XLI: The Steel Age to help Corey Casey improve to his record setting 12-0-1 Double Cage Horror streak.
During the course of the match, CC further agitated a spinal injury that he had suffered during his NLWF tenure early on in his career. After seeing a number of specialists, Corey Casey announced his permanent retirement from in-ring competition the next night on Battle Grounds in an emotional moment.
..:: The Empire ::..
Corey Casey made his return to take control of IWF after the closing of UECW...and made himself well known by introducing former UECW superstars Axle Vengeance, Griffin Hawkins, Alexander Remington and Jack Savage [just to name a few] into IWF. It was on this episode of Battle Grounds that CC officially aligned himself with Remignton, Vengeance, and Savage as well as Blyss Lockhart and Baron Thompson to form what would become known as The Empire. Corey Casey used his powers as Chairman of the IWF Board of Directors to assure that Alexander Remington and the members of The Empire were booked in extremely easy matches and were properly taken care of each and every week, even going so far as to make 110% damn sure that Alexander Remington won the IWF World Heavyweight Championship.
It was after Alexander Remington won the IWF World Heavyweight Championship that the IWF Board of Directors decided that Corey Casey was out of control and insisted on installing a person who had the power to override Corey Casey's authority...and that person was none other than Corey Casey's wife, Jessica Matthews-Casey! Corey Casey slowly faded to the background as Jessica's power grew until CC seemingly faded into the pages of history when Alex Dillinger and his financial backers bought out IWF and threw Corey Casey out of the company he helped to create...
...:: The Return of The Lord :...
Jessica Matthews left Corey Casey, two years after their marriage. Claiming that Corey's frequent travel schedule and declining mental state were leading him to become more mentally unstable than ever, Jess managed to take CC's son, Gavin, leaving CC to raise his daughter, Raylyn, on his own. Knowing nothing about parenting and slowly beginning to lose his grip on sanity after Jess, the only person in the world who is able to hold back the demon known as The Lord, gone, CC slowly began to spiral mentally into the darkness that threatens to consume his mind and soul.
Now, as The Lord, CC is hell bent on causing as much pain and suffering as possible, convinced that by inflicting punishment and imposing his will upon others, he will achieve his goal of reestablishing the cult known as Salvation and bringing all of IWF, once more, under his control.
..:: Purifier ..:: The standard finisher in CC’s arsenal. Corey Casey has been using this move since he debuted in professional wrestling and has been going back to The Purifier time and time again ever since. Corey Casey loves to use The Purifier to finish off his opponents as he feels that by hitting The Purifier he has truly driven the final nail in his opponent’s coffin. CC likes to claim that after he hits his opponent with The Purifier his opponent’s lives are never the same…
..:: Asylum Walls ..::
During his time in the Salinas Mental Asylum, Corey Casey would sometimes get time to spend in the courtyard of the asylum. He would often rest his back against the barbed wire topped chain link fence that encompassed the interior of the asylum. He would cast his gaze skyward and see the guards armed with sniper rifles staring through their scopes at him, waiting for him to make a single false move. He swore then and there that he would make his foes suffer like he was suffering…and what better way then to lock then in an excruciatingly painful submission maneuver named after the walls that contained him in the darkness of his own mind?
..:: Signatures ..::
+Moonsault from the top rope [RARE]+ +Drop toe hold onto the steel steps or onto an open chair+ +Darkness Falls [DDT onto an open steel chair or set of ring stairs]+
Corey Casey is pure power. CC has won multiple championships and has achieved glory by just hitting high powered, high impact moves. His size and strength allow him to overpower his enemies and stand toe to toe with the biggest and most sadistic superstars that professional wrestling has to offer. CC will look to hit high impact power moves whenever he can.
..:: Tactician ..::
Despite being a brawler, Corey Casey has finally learned to control the anger that once defined his entire persona. CC has managed to finally learn how to take a few steps back and let himself regroup before pressing the offense. Where he would normally rush right in and continue assaulting his opponent and battering them with high impact moves, CC has learned to control the rage that once drove him to be the most bloodthirsty member of the IWF roster. CC will weaken his opponent with some high impact, high power moves, but he isn’t above applying The Asylum Walls or any number of other submission holds to secure the victory

The sound of “White Rabbit” by Egypt Central roars out of the house speakers as a single light turns on at the top of the stage. The light is shining up from beneath the entrance stage, shining upwards, casting a single lone figure in a bright light. The figure is standing with his back to the ring and is wearing a black leather jacket along with his wrestling trunks. The leather jacket suddenly begins to flash, the lights dancing up and down the sleeves. As the guitar riff kicks in, fireworks erupt from under the stage on either side. The figure slowly turns around, revealing the smirking face of Corey Casey
Corey Casey begins to walk down the entrance ramp and toward the ring. He slaps the hands of some of the fans on either side of the isle. Corey Casey hops up on the ring apron and ducks in between the second and third rope as he enters the ring. He then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and holds his arms straight out to either side
Corey Casey hops down from the turnbuckle and slouches down in the corner, staring his opponent down as he slowly removes the leather jacket.
