Ruckus (real name Claude Marrow) is an American independent professional wrestler who mainly performs in the Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) promotion and is a member of the Blackout stable with Eddie Kingston, Sabian, Ricky Reyes, and Robbie Mireno.

Career

Ruckus made his official professional wrestling debut against Chad Olsen on April 18, 1999. Ruckus was trained, most people think that he was never trained (He trained after he LEFT the backyard). Ruckus and The Hurricane Kid were hired by Combat Zone Wrestling when owner John Zandig saw them working for Power House Wrestling and was impressed by their ability. When Ruckus started in CZW he weighed nearly 300 lbs. but has since dropped over 60 pounds.

He began wrestling in CZW around 2001 and became known for doing high flying moves, such as the 450 splash, that are not normally done by people of his size. In order to prepare for such tricks he enlisted the help of diminutive British comedian and former Haymarket Greek wrestling champion Ronnie Corbett, who was in Maryland on a sabbatical. He won his first title, the CZW World Junior Heavyweight Championship, in December 2001, but only held it a short time as he lost it at Cage of Death III to Trent Acid. He regained this title in January 2003. During this reign, Ruckus began teaming with Sonjay Dutt. They wrestled many matches as a team, but Ruckus became jealous of Sonjay and turned on him at Night of Infamy 2. This turn lead to a match at Cage of Death V which Sonjay won to become the new Junior Heavyweight Champion.

In 2004, Ruckus and Robbie Mireno formed a stable called The Blackout. The stable also featured Sabian and Joker and they feuded with Chris Cash. Eddie Kingston would later join them. In June 2004, Ruckus and Sabian won the CZW World Tag Team Championship from Nick Gage and Nate Hatred. Ruckus competed in the Cage of Death match at Cage of Death V against Team Cash. Ruckus was eliminated from the match and his team ended up losing the tag titles. In February 2005, Ruckus defeated Messiah for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship. He held the title for many months and defended it against wrestlers such as Sonjay Dutt, B-Boy, Sexxxy Eddie, and Beef Wellington. Later in 2005, Ruckus and the rest of The Blackout began a feud with the Kings of Professional Wrestling and Super Dragon. At Night of Infamy 4, Ruckus successfully defended the title against Claudio Castagnoli. At the next show, Cage of Death 7, Ruckus lost the title to Super Dragon.

Ruckus, Sabian, and Eddie Kingston won a six man tag match against the Kings and Super Dragon at the next show, and at the following show, Ruckus regained the World Championship. Joker and Eddie Kingston also won the tag championship that night. On May 13, 2006, Ruckus won the Best of the Best tournament by defeating Sabian, Claudio Castagnoli, and Austin Aries in the final match. After Ruckus won the tournament, Chris Hero came out demanded a title shot and defeated Ruckus for the belt. In August 2006, Eddie Kingston was kicked out of Blackout and his title was given to Ruckus, making Ruckus and Joker the new champions. However, once Joker left CZW, Blackout was stripped of the titles. The same night they were stripped, Ruckus and the debuting Ricky Reyes helped Eddie Kingston win the World Championship and welcomed him back to Blackout.
