David Cash (born July 31, 1969 in Johnson City, Tennessee), better known as Kid Kash, is an American professional wrestler who has worked for Extreme Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and World Wrestling Entertainment. Kash is thought by many to resemble musician Kid Rock, upon whom he has modelled his character to an extent.

Career

Kid Kash debuted in 1990 after training for two years with the legendary Ricky Morton, facing Wahoo McDaniel. Working as a welder by day, Kash wrestling on the independent circuit for six years. In 1995 he formed a short-lived tag team with Morton.

Kash's first mainstream exposure came in late 1995 when he debuted with Extreme Championship Wrestling. He remained with ECW for a year, then spent six months in the World Wrestling Federation. He left the WWF after Scott Taylor botched a rana and broke both of his legs.

Kash returned to ECW in July 1997. One of the few Southern wrestlers in ECW, he remained with the promotion until it folded in April 2001, winning the prestitigous ECW World Television Championship on August 27, 2000. On August 14, 2002 Kash reemerged in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as part of the X Division. Using the gimmick of a cocky, obnoxious heel, Kash eventually won the TNA X Division Championship. He was managed by Trinity for some time, and eventually turned on her, leading to a somewhat controversial series of matches and physical confrontations between the two.

On March 24, 2004 Kash was given a partner, Dallas, who was purportedly related to him. On June 21, 2004 Kash broke his fibula; while injured, he was suspended for criticising TNA in an interview. Kash and Dallas would twice win the NWA World tag team Championships.

Kash was released by TNA on April 19, 2005 after he gave a radio interview where he protested the fact that he was not being allowed to appear at ECW One Night Stand, criticised the TNA policy of using newer wrestlers in top spots rather than wrestlers with more tenure, insulted America's Most Wanted and claimed that he would resign when his contract expired in September 2005. Kash had also been involved in a number of backstage confrontations with A.J. Styles.

Kash debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling on May 25, 2005 as part of a title tournament, hoping to be offered a WWE contract. His first appearance on WWE television was the June 19, 2005 airing of Sunday Night Heat against Tajiri in what was designated a tryout match. On June 23 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. On August 3, 2005, he was reported to have signed a developmental deal with WWE and to have been assigned to Deep South Wrestling. He would go on to make a sucessful appearance on the October 15 edition of Velocity, where he defeated Funaki. He continues to gradually gain more exposure on Velocity, picking up consistent victories over Paul London, and recently Brian Kendrick, things look pretty 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.
