**Brimstone founded "Critical Mass Pro Wrestling Corp." in early 2000 in Hicksville, New York within a newly sprouted Martial Arts Academy.  The idea to create a fully functional professional wrestling school had been an idea of his since his days at the LIWF.  Seeing that there was a lot of talent needing to be primed here, with no real facility close by, Brimstone recruited his long time friends Mayhem, and Chris Hostile and Critical Mass Pro Wrestling was born.  Growth at a rapid rate quickly pushed CMPW out of the academy, and into their brand new mini arena!  Brimstone, and Mayhem's training routine had been complemented many times over by various independent and larger name workers from all over the world.  Their goal was to continue guiding hungry new talent in the best form possible in a safe and fun environment.  Brimstone believed that everyone had a right to fulfill their dreams no matter what shape, size, ethnic background, or sex…Brimstone helped all his students obtain their goals and more.  Between Mayhem and Brimstone’s experience, they blended the best aspects of all styles, (Lucha Libre, American, Japanese, Submission, and Olympic) and molding them into an intense training regime, creating “Competent, Well-Rounded Athletes.”  Brimstone took pride in his “Acting 101” classes in which he assisted his students in public speaking, cutting interviews, getting into character, frame of mind, entrances etc…
