Biography

American football career

Brown attended Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan where he was an All-American American football linebacker, breaking and setting several defensive records. Talent spotters recruited him to the Buffalo Bills, and he played football professional for five years, competing twice in the Super Bowl; Super Bowl XXVII for the Buffalo Bills in 1992, and Super Bowl XXXI for the New England Patriots in 1996.

Professional wrestling career

Brown was trained by Dan "The Beast" Severn and Sabu, and debuted on May 6, 2001. He made appearances for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in 2002, but eventually disappeared. He returned on March 10, 2004, attacking the Insane Clown Posse. His character had changed; he was now billed as being from the Serengeti, dressed variously in leopard- and tiger-print trunks and possessed the mannerisms of an African predatory animal, which earned him the moniker "The Alpha Male". His popularity increased until he received an NWA World Heavyweight Championship shot on January 16, 2005 at TNA Final Resolution, where he was defeated by the reigning champion, Jeff Jarrett. Two months later, Brown turned heel by aligning with Jarrett, attacking Diamond Dallas Page during the main event of the March 13, 2005 TNA Destination X pay-per-view, thus saving Jarrett's title.

Brown joined Planet Jarrett, Jarrett's retinue, and spent several months feuding with Jarrett's enemies, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Diamond Dallas Page and A.J. Styles. At TNA Slammiversary on June 19, he took part in a six way King of the Mountain match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, then held by Styles, which was won by Raven. Brown then began teaming with fellow Planet Jarrett member Kip James, helping him battle the 3Live Kru in an attempt to convince Kru member B.G. James to reform his former tag team, the New Age Outlaws, with Kip. Brown and James faced Kru members Ron Killings and Konnan at TNA Sacrifice on August 14 in a match in which B.G. acted as special guest referee, with both Kip and the remained of the Kru urging him to take their side. B.G. eventually took the side of Konnan and Killings, costing Brown and James the match. Following the defeat, Brown insisted that he be the one to lead the team. On August 26 he turned his back on Jeff Jarrett, claiming that their agreement was broken.

At TNA Unbreakable on September 11, Brown declared his intention to challenge for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at TNA Bound For Glory. After defeating Lance Hoyt at Bound For Glory on October 23, Brown took part in a ten-man over-the-top-rope gauntlet match for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, but was eliminated by Jeff Hardy.
