The name 7ft Thunder belongs to a seven foot tall mountain of muscle. The "Thunder from Down Under", as he is known overseas, began his Pro career in 1994. He was introduced to the local scene by the one & only Animal Harpas.
Harpas discovered 7ft Thunder who was working as a Doorman. 7ft Thunder recognised the Animal (an IWA Hall of Famer) and the two men began training sessions. Harpas planned to get the 7ft doorman ready for competition and he soon realised this plan of action. 7ft Thunder amazed local fans and impressed all with his sheer size, mass and volume. Wherever this thunderous giant roams people stop and stare. After his debut the word went out via the local networks of Pro Wrestling fans that a giant was roaming around the Australian Wrestling scene. News spread to all states that this 7ft Giant was wrestling in Sydney. Then came 7ft Thunder's first real test, a 20 man "over the top rope" Battle Royal held in Canberra.
This type of contest is one of the most dangerous type of matches in the Pro wrestling game. 20 men, no friends, bodies flying everywhere, punches and kicks swinging wildly. This battle royal was even more dangerous. Firstly, being held in the ACT meant more liberal rules. Permits for fireworks also outside Managers or seconding licenses are easier to obtain. So, this battle royal had 20 of the most dangerous wrestlers in Australia competing for a $5,000 purse in a place where the rules are easy to bend. Secondly, every top name in the Wrestling community had one thing in common - they all wanted to eliminate the giant new comer. Being a targeted man only angered 7ft Thunder. On the night of the battle Royal fans were jammed into the front rows to get a close look at the rumble in the ring.
7ft Thunder tore into the pack, standing head and shoulders above everyone else he went on an elimination spree. First to go was the local Canberra boy Shark Attack, then Bassam the Assassin, Super fire, Lethal Injection, Big John Tolios was the next to go out over the top rope. The Canberra mob went wild as the 7ft wrestler threw cruiser weights out like they were tiny children. Even the big Greek veteran Tolios was dwarfed by 7ft Thunder. Some challengers came in the way of Mercedes Condolian, Sgt Bianco and Greg Stekker. They all teamed up and rushed the giant Thunder who was stunned but was able to fight off all of them eliminating Stekker, Condolian and Sgt Bianco. Tyrone Townsend and TNT Kid joined forces against 7ft Thunder they hit him with a barrage of high-kicks and lightning fast martial arts combination strikes, but the big man was not phased. He grabbed hold of Tyrone by the throat and threw him way over the top rope back onto Hollywood Brett's commentary table. TNT kid was next to go. It came down to the 7ft crowd favorite and the big bully Mark Mercedes. The beefy Mercedes proved some match for 7ft Thunder but Thunder was too big and too strong.
The 7ft man has remained undefeated since his debut, and has provided the Animal with some back up, the Animal and 7ft Thunder have been teaming up in a good many matches these days. Before turning to the world of Pro wrestling this giant lived his life as a surf club lifesaver. As a youngster the giant lad excelled in a number of amateur Iron Man competitions and was feared by all in the open divisions. Grown men could not believe that this giant kid was only 14 years old. This giant kid was also a huge fan of Pro Wrestling and dreamed of the day that he might get into the ring and wrestle somebody - anybody.
When the IWA comes to town it is 7ft Thunder who attracts all the attention. He is a phenonomenon of the human race and attracts more fan mail, photographers and inquiries than any other Australian Pro wrestler. The Body mass index of this man is incredible. He is at least 7ft tall in bare feet (and still growing) he takes a size 18 shoe. The Thunder has all of his shoes, clothes, utilities and his bed custom made. He has problems fitting through most doorways without ducking down so could you imagine him trying to fit into a normal car - no way.
