Showtime Eric Young initially joined TNA as a jobber in early 2004, but was brought back later in the year to be part of the Team Canada faction along with Petey Williams, Johnny Devine and Bobby Roode. A year later, he began acting more and more paranoid, and it got to the point where every little thing scared Young, even his own pyrotechnics. Hed go on to be the leader of his own faction, the World Elite, which was composed of wrestlers from around the globe. Tired of not getting enough respect in TNA, he won the TNA Legends Championship and renamed it the Global Championship, while stating that he would not defend it against any American wrestler. Last year, after ten years with TNA, Eric Young won his first TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a match against Magnus that no-one thought he could win. Unfortunately, the match drew criticism from many fans who saw TNA to be copying WWE and Daniel Bryans underdog victory less than a week earlier at WrestleMania. Young has also found much success outside of wrestling, and has hosted a number of television shows on Animal Planet. His first show Off The Hook: Extreme Catch was so successful that they expanded his focus beyond fishing to all wildlife, and now he hosts No Limits, which takes him all over the world.
