Titles Held:” I honestly don’t keep track of this. For every title I’ve held, there is a match that I’ve lost. While teaming with my Brother, TJ, we were fortunate enough to hold the Tag Titles for almost every federation we worked for. As for my singles career goes I’ve held titles such as the OMEGA Heavyweight and Cruiserweight Title but my most notable singles success would be not only being the longest reigning AWA light heavyweight champion of all time, but also the longest reigning light heavyweight champion of all time in any professional wrestling organization, 8 years and counting”.
Trained By: Matt and Jeff Hardy, Steve Corino, and C.W. Anderson.
How did you get started in Wrestling? “I had a dream, and I went for it. As simple as that”.
Any thoughts you have on PWEvo or it’s Talents:” In my honest opinion, Pro Wrestling Evo is independent wrestling’s best kept secret. Not only does it have a roster that could go toe to toe with any top roster in the industry, but it has a core group of employee’s who really care and are extremely passionate about the product. Someone recently asked me how they could make their company as successful as PWEvo. I told them one major thing EVO has going for them is that they not only listen to their talents input but they encourage it. In doing this they get the most important people on their side, their talent. Once your talent believes in your product and your vision, the possibilities and endless. In closing, I HATE Caleb Konley”
Year In Review: Kirby debuted with Pro Wrestling Evo in July 2011 alongside his brother & long time tag partner TJ as Team Macktion made an immediate impact defeating two of Evo’s best Caleb Konley & Zack Salvation. Mack then focused more on a singles career in EVO picking up a win over Chivas Kid at Best Show in Town. A feud was born leading up to #FollowThis as Kirby exchanged words with Caleb Konley and the two met for the Konley’s PWI International Ultra J Title at the event in October 2011. This one was a definite MOTY contender as it took a brutal KO/Submission combo to help Konley retain the title. We next saw Kirby at Evo Eight 2012 as part of the 8 man tournament to crown a new #1 contender to the PWEvo heavyweight championship. Again, Mack was in a MOTY contender falling to Cedric Alexander & suffering a shoulder injury in the process. Kirby was not done as he entered himself into the debut match for the SuperHEX division. Mack said he was here to show these young kids the way and serve as a mentor to them. Kirby backed this up defeating the 5 other men involved in the debut match and he is currently at the top of the SuperHEX leaderboard. Currently Kirby Mack has an open challenge to suspended EVO talent Trevor Lee for ‘EPIC’ not for a match but a FIGHT. Check out the link below to see Kirby call out Trevor Lee on Evo Underground Episode 10. Kirby has carved out a nice singles career for himself in Pro Wrestling Evo, always entertaining & controversial, Mack speaks his mind & backs it up in the ring. 2012 should be an interesting year for the SuperHEX division, and Kirby Mack.
2012 Mission Statement:”To be the very first Kirby Mack.”
