On ], ] Kash reemerged in ] as part of the ]. Using the ] of a cocky, obnoxious ], Kash eventually won the ]. He was managed by ] for some time, and eventually ] on her, leading to a somewhat controversial series of matches and physical confrontations between the two.
{{also|Full Blooded Italians}}
Cash's first mainstream exposure came in late November 1996 with ]. Cash, then wrestling as David Tyler Morton, went to Philadelphia with friend and sometimes tag team partner "Heavy Metal" ]. Cash was friends with ] of the ] and ], and it was Rob Van Dam who first introduced Cash to ].


===World Wrestling Federation and Independent Circuit (1997–1999)===
On ], ] Kash was given a partner, ], who was purportedly related to him. On ], 2004 Kash broke his ]; while injured, he was suspended for criticising TNA in an interview. Kash and Dallas would twice win the NWA World tag team Championships.
In 1997, Cash left ECW to return to the ] and even wrestled house shows for ]. He also appeared once at TV tapings, using ring name David Jericho, on April 28, 1998, at '']'' where he was defeated by ]. During a WWF house show against the tag team ], Cash broke both of his ankles after performing a botched ] on ]. The injury sidelined Cash for a while.
Kash was released by TNA on ], ] after he gave a radio interview where he protested the fact that he was not being allowed to appear at ], criticised the TNA policy of using newer wrestlers in top spots rather than wrestlers with more tenure, insulted ] and claimed that he would resign when his contract expired in ]. Kash had also been involved in a number of backstage confrontations with ].


===Extreme Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)===
Kash debuted in ] on ], 2005 as part of a title tournament, hoping to be offered a ] contract. His first appearance on WWE television was the ], 2005 airing of ] against ] in what was designated a tryout match. On ] he said in an interview that "''You never know what the company is looking for. I might not be what they're looking for. I can only hope''", indicating that he continues to pursue a WWE contract. <sup></sup> On ], 2005, he was reported to have signed a developmental deal with WWE and to have been assigned to ]. He would go on to make a sucessful appearance on the ] edition of ], where he defeated ]. He continues to gradually gain more exposure on Velocity, picking up consistent victories over Paul London, and recently Brian Kendrick, things look pretty grand for Kash as of late, if he keeps this up, it's sure to be an even more honored Cruiserweight Division on Smackdown! if that's where this will take him due to his size, but then again look at Rey Mysterio, a main eventer and even a name who has come up in the midst of the World Heavyweight Championship match..anything can happen in the WWE. A Kash/Mysterio feud would be a great way to start off, however Juventud Guerrera and Kash would make for more of a realistic feud, but would be the same as far as a quality match of skill versus skill is concerned. Look for the up and coming Kash on Velocity, and later on Smackdown! no doubt.
Cash resurfaced in ECW in late 1999 under a new gimmick, "Kid Kash". The name change was due to his resemblance to musician ]. Under this name, Kash would dress like Kid Rock from his '']'' album, and even used the song (and named one of his finishers, The Bawitaba) during this phase in his career. Just months after his return Kash suffered a broken jaw in Atlanta at the hands of ]. He had legitimate heat with the tag team for their supposed ] and ] moves on Kash during matches and as payback during a planned run in during Kash's match ] did an unplanned ] right on Kash's face, breaking both sides of his jaw. At the time Atlanta was going through a flu epidemic and so Kash had to get a private physician to fix his jaw because the hospitals were swamped. Despite the injury Kash continued to wrestle, and never took a night off. He even wrestled on the Guilty as Charged PPV the very next night after driving from Atlanta to Birmingham, AL, less than 24 hours after his jaw was wired shut. This earned him the respect of ] and several other ECW wrestlers. Kash recovered from the injury without any problems and went on to wrestle tag matches, cruiserweight-style matches, and even wrestled ] for the ] at ] on March 12, 2000, although he lost after he was ] from the top rope through a ]. His tag team partners during the time include the likes of Rob Van Dam, ], ] and ]. Kash won the ] by defeating ] on August 26, 2000, at ]. A few weeks later, Rhino would reclaim the title from Kash. On October 1 at ], Kash pinned ] in a singles match. At ], Kash defeat ]. On December 3 at ], he and ] were defeated by ] (] and ]) in a tag team match.

David Tyler Cash (born July 31, 1969), better known by his ring name Kid Kash, is an American mixed martial artist and retired professional wrestler, best known for his tenures with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Professional wrestling career

Early career (1989–1996)

Kash's father was a boxer and Kash began training by the age of seven years. He went on to become a professional fighter and worked in Japan. Cash met up with Ricky Morton during his travels, and took Cash on the road with him and continued his training. Working as a welder by day, Cash wrestled on the independent circuit. Under the name David Tyler Morton he formed a short lived tag team with Ricky Morton.

Kash started wrestling at age 20 in 1989.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1996–1997)

See also: Full Blooded Italians

Cash's first mainstream exposure came in late November 1996 with ECW. Cash, then wrestling as David Tyler Morton, went to Philadelphia with friend and sometimes tag team partner "Heavy Metal" Ric Savage. Cash was friends with New Jack of the Gangstas and Rob Van Dam, and it was Rob Van Dam who first introduced Cash to Paul Heyman.

World Wrestling Federation and Independent Circuit (1997–1999)

In 1997, Cash left ECW to return to the indies and even wrestled house shows for WWF. He also appeared once at TV tapings, using ring name David Jericho, on April 28, 1998, at WWF Shotgun Saturday Night where he was defeated by Taka Michinoku. During a WWF house show against the tag team Too Cool, Cash broke both of his ankles after performing a botched hurricanrana on Scotty 2 Hotty. The injury sidelined Cash for a while.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)

Cash resurfaced in ECW in late 1999 under a new gimmick, "Kid Kash". The name change was due to his resemblance to musician Kid Rock. Under this name, Kash would dress like Kid Rock from his Devil Without a Cause album, and even used the song (and named one of his finishers, The Bawitaba) during this phase in his career. Just months after his return Kash suffered a broken jaw in Atlanta at the hands of The Dupps. He had legitimate heat with the tag team for their supposed stiff and shoot moves on Kash during matches and as payback during a planned run in during Kash's match Bo Dupp did an unplanned frog splash right on Kash's face, breaking both sides of his jaw. At the time Atlanta was going through a flu epidemic and so Kash had to get a private physician to fix his jaw because the hospitals were swamped. Despite the injury Kash continued to wrestle, and never took a night off. He even wrestled on the Guilty as Charged PPV the very next night after driving from Atlanta to Birmingham, AL, less than 24 hours after his jaw was wired shut. This earned him the respect of Paul Heyman and several other ECW wrestlers. Kash recovered from the injury without any problems and went on to wrestle tag matches, cruiserweight-style matches, and even wrestled Mike Awesome for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at Living Dangerously on March 12, 2000, although he lost after he was superbombed from the top rope through a Table. His tag team partners during the time include the likes of Rob Van Dam, Super Crazy, Nova and The Sandman. Kash won the ECW World Television Championship by defeating Rhino on August 26, 2000, at Midtown Massacre. A few weeks later, Rhino would reclaim the title from Kash. On October 1 at Anarchy Rulz, Kash pinned EZ Money in a singles match. At November to Remember, Kash defeat C. W. Anderson. On December 3 at Massacre on 34th Street, he and Super Crazy were defeated by The Unholy Alliance (Yoshihiro Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck) in a tag team match. At Guilty as Charged, he and Super Crazy and F.B.I. (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) were both defeated by The Unholy Alliance in a three way dance tag team match. After Guilty as Charged, the promotion went defunct in 2001.

World Championship Wrestling (2001)

Two months later after ECW closed down, Kash was signed with World Championship Wrestling where he was billed as "Cash". His only match on the final episode of Thunder, airing on March 21, 2001, where he lost to Jason Jett. That same week, WCW was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation in 5 days later after the final episode of Monday Nitro on March 26, 2001.

NWA Total Nonstop Action (2002–2005)

On August 14, 2002, Kash re-emerged in TNA Wrestling as part of the X Division. Using the gimmick of a cocky, obnoxious heel (while still maintaining a degree of his Kid Rock mannerisms), Kash won the TNA X Division Championship from Sonny Siaki on February 12, 2003 and lost the title to Amazing Red on April 30. Some of the more notable feuds Kid Kash developed in TNA were against James Storm, Dusty Rhodes, Jeff Hardy, A.J. Styles, and even a few intergender matches with Trinity. Also, Kash faced off against legends such as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Larry Zbyszko. He even beat his trainer, Ricky Morton.

On March 31, 2004, Kash teamed up with Dallas to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship and the pair picked the titles up a second time on April 21 before losing them to America's Most Wanted in June 2004. On April 20, 2005, TNA announced that Kash was released from his TNA contract, after months of criticizing the company. He signed with WWE after being released from TNA.
