Professional wrestling career

=PG-13 (1991–2000)=

{{main|PG-13 (professional wrestling)|l1=PG-13}}

Wolfe got his start in Jerry Lawler's United States Wrestling Alliance (USWA) and soon allied himself with J. C. Ice, forming a tag team with a white rapper gimmick known as PG-13. The team won the USWA Tag Team Championship on fifteen occasions. In 1996, PG-13 lost a Loser Leaves Town match against Ice's father, "Superstar" Bill Dundee. Shortly thereafter, a new masked tag team known as "The Cyberpunks" (Fire and Ice) appeared, which was really PG-13 in disguise. After a number of attempts to unmask them failed, they unmasked themselves upon having PG-13 reinstated into the USWA. During 1995 made appearances in Puerto Rico of the World Wrestling Council

In 1995, PG-13 began wrestling occasional matches in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).{{cite web|title=1995|work=The History of WWE|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/95.htm|access-date=2008-01-12 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071117080621/http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/95.htm |archive-date = 2007-11-17}} The following year, they joined the Nation of Domination stable. They rapped to introduce the stable before matches, but they did not actually wrestle during this period.{{cite web|title=1995|work=The History of WWE|url=http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/96.htm|access-date=2008-01-12 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071204101558/http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/96.htm |archive-date = 2007-12-04}} They also appeared in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), competing against the team of Mikey Whipwreck and Spike Dudley and unsuccessfully challenging Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley for the ECW Tag Team Championship at Hardcore Heaven in 1997.{{cite web|title=Hardcore Heaven 1997|work=Pro Wrestling History|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/ecw/results/1997c.html#081797|access-date=2008-01-12}} In 2000, the team appeared for a few months in World Championship Wrestling, competing against the Yung Dragons and 3 Count.

After splitting from Ice, Wolfie worked in the Memphis area with his accomplice, the helmeted driver known only as the Getaway Guy. Wolfie performed particularly evil misdeeds in the ring and would immediately head for the back of the arena, where his Wolf Mobile, a bright yellow Mustang drag car racer waited. The Getaway Guy, dressed in black leather and wearing a black helmet that could not be seen into, waited with the motor running. Wolfie would leap into the car and they would drive out of the arena parking lot, well ahead of any wrestler chasing them. It was later revealed that the Getaway Guy was manager Nick Nitros.

=Slash (2000–2022)=

{{main|Disciples of The New Church|l1=The New Church}}

Wolfie overhauled his gimmick in 2001, bulking up, developing an imposing goth look, and changing his ring name to Slash. He signed with World Wrestling Federation (WWF) developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he was part of a gothic stable known as the Disciples of Synn, which included fellow members Leviathan (Batista) and Bane (Tyson Tomko).

After failing to be called up to the main WWF roster, Slash moved to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) in late 2002, where he joined a similar stable called The New Church, led by Father James Mitchell. The group engaged in a long running feud from 2002 to 2003 against Raven and his "Gathering", with many bloody hardcore style matches between them. After a long run at the tag team titles with Brian Lee, Slash frequently teamed with Church members Shane Douglas and Sinn to face Raven, CM Punk, and Julio Dinero. Slash's final appearance for TNA was in March 2004, a loss in a tag team tournament with partner Sinn to the team of Kid Kash and Dallas.

In 2012, Wolfe opened a professional wrestling school, "Wolfie D's House of Champions", in Nashville, Tennessee.{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/27920-sat-update-first-punk-vs-ryback-match-rutten-box-office-69-year-old-legend-still-packs-a-whallop-previews-of-tonights-bonnar-a-fitch-matches-wwe-signs-new-announcer-new-wwe-dvd|title=SAT.
