KRACKERJAK PROFILE

Redefining violence with his every breath, KrackerJak has spent the last eight years breaking bones and shedding blood from one end of this country to the other. Making his debut in 2000, KrackerJak quickly grabbed the interest of fans with his unconventional offense and bizarre antics and soon found himself in demand all over the country. Displaying tremendous versatility, KrackerJak refuses to say no to any challenge and over the years has found himself in hard-fought technical wrestling matches, brutal cage matches and even the world's first intergender bra-and-panties match. The only element he predictably displays is his unpredictability, going from a "softcore" match in which he bludgeoned his opponent with a chicken to a hardcore match that saw him wrapped in barbwire and slammed onto thumbtacks.

KrackerJak proudly claims to tell a story in the ring: the story of a dirty fighter. A master of underhanded tactics and referee misdirection, he knows at least thirty different ways to gouge an opponents eyes and limitless ways to to attack his groin, backing up these attacks with a hard-hitting, brawling style and a complete disregard for his own safety when it comes to hurting his opponent.

But it's not just his actions that have earned him the moniker of "The Mad Bastard." KrackerJak has become equally notorious for his words with his pre-match rants becoming as much a part of the KrackerJak-experience as his matches themselves and he can rarely take to the ring without the crowd demanding that he grab the mic and unleash some vitriolic madness upon his opponent. It's this same media-savvy wordiness that has seen KrackerJak make regular promotional appearances on radio, including a remark on Triple M that saw Dermott Brereton spit his coffee out, live on air. KrackerJak also made an impression on the Nine Network's "1 vs 100" where he blamed rampant alcoholism for getting himself eliminated on the first question.

Unperturbed, KrackerJak continued to call himself the "evil genius of Aussie Wrestling", despite the fact that his underhanded tactics won the fans over more than it turned them against him. After honing his skills against the best that Australia had to offer, The Mad Bastard headed abroad, touring across the land of the rising sun with Big Japan Wrestling and performing at a two-day wrestling festival called WrestleExpo, baffling Japanese fans with a bizarre promo about being mugged by strippers that was then shakily translated by the announcer.

After a short but successful stint in the UK, KrackerJak returned to Australia in late 2006 whereupon he realised that the local scene needed some cleaning up if it was ever going to compete with its overseas equivalent. With this in mind, he formed The Bastard Brothers with his sibling, the human juggernaut Logan and tore a path across the country, destroying every team in their path until they simulatanous held two different tag-team championships. Now dividing his time between tag competition with Logan and his singles career, KrackerJak has gone on to become an integral part of the highly successful Wrestlerock shows in Melbourne, hosting a series of extremely violent matches under the banner of 'Kracker's Kontinental', including Australia's first intergender deathmatch where he defeated the maniacal Vixsin as vengeance for her cutting his beard off.



Most recently, KrackerJak has engaged in a on-air feud with Vega radio personality and Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson, who foolishly challenged the legitimacy of Professional Wrestling. KrackerJak has vowed that if he can give Dicko just a taste of the physical pain that the Mad Bastard has suffered over the years, Dicko will be eating his words and his meals trough a straw...
