Crazy Johnny Tiger
The Dark Lord's Unholy Alliance
In the depths of Germany, where the beer flows like the Rhine and the wrestling fans are as passionate as a thousand screaming Valkyries, there exists a behemoth of a man known only as Crazy Johnny Tiger. His preferred ring name may be Christian Stüdter, but to the masses, he's the Dark Lord – a moniker earned through his unrelenting ferocity and mastery of the squared circle.
This 5'10" giant of a man (233 pounds of pure, unadulterated fury) has been wreaking havoc on German soil for nigh on two decades. His first foray into the world of professional wrestling came in October '98, when he stepped through the ropes like a latter-day Goliath, ready to take on all comers.
And oh, did he ever. With a wrestling style that's equal parts brawler and technician, Crazy Johnny Tiger has racked up an impressive array of titles from some of Europe's most respected promotions: the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship, DWA Tag Team Championship, DWA World Heavyweight Championship, NAWA Tag Team Championship, and FWF Belgian Championship – to name but a few.
But don't just take our word for it. Ask those who've had the misfortune of stepping into the ring with him: Westside Xtreme Wrestling, German Stampede Wrestling, German Wrestling Federation, Catch Wrestling Association, and Deutsche Wrestling Allianz can all attest to his unyielding ferocity.
And then, of course, there's his signature move – the Tiger Claw. A maneuver so devastating, it's a wonder anyone has dared to challenge him at all. (Well, aside from that one time he got pinned by a certain someone in a match that shall remain nameless... but we digress.)
The Freelancer's Reckoning
These days, Crazy Johnny Tiger can be found freelancing for various promotions, taking on whoever dares to step into the ring with him. His reputation as the Dark Lord precedes him, striking fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned veterans.
So if you're a wrestler looking to make a name for yourself – or simply willing to test your mettle against one of the greatest all-around wrestlers Germany has ever produced – be prepared to face the wrath of Crazy Johnny Tiger. Just don't say we didn't warn you...
