Charlie Haas to appear for Universal Championship Wrestling this weekend in Belton, TX

Posted: Mar 1st 2010 By: CMBurnham

Universal Championship Wrestling is proud to announce our newest roster addition:
Former WWE Smackdown Superstar - Charlie Haas.

Charlie will be seen in the ring, for the first time since departing the WWE this weekend, on UCW's UNCENSORED @ the BELL COUNTY EXPO, Belton, TX
Show time is @ 7pm.

Charlie Haas (6'2", 265, 10, 68) Oklahoma-native & Three-time former WWE World tag team champion, appeared internationally with 1PW in the U.K. and New Japan Pro Wrestling ... Calls his finisher the "Haas Of Pain."

Haas was an amateur wrestler in high school, and attended Seton Hall University on a wrestling scholarship, before becoming a stockbroker. He became a professional wrestler in 1996, and teamed regularly with his brother, Russ, with the two winning numerous championships on the independent circuit, including the CZW World Tag Team Championship and the JAPW Tag Team Championship. After signing contracts with WWE, The Haas Brothers were assigned to WWE's developmental territories, where they won the MCW Southern Tag Team Championship on three occasions. After Russ' death in 2001 due to a heart attack, Haas began wrestling in singles competition, winning the HWA Heavyweight Championship once.

Haas formed a team with Shelton Benjamin and the two debuted on SmackDown in December 2002. They won the WWE Tag Team Championship twice, and dubbed themselves The World's Greatest Tag Team before they split in 2004. Haas won the WWE Tag Team Championship once more with Rico, and gained Miss Jackie as a valet. Haas then transferred into singles competition before being released from WWE in 2005. After a short stint in Jersey All Pro Wrestling and other independent promotions, Haas was re-signed to WWE in April 2006. He formed a short-lived team with Viscera, before reforming the World's Greatest Tag Team with Benjamin. After Benjamin transferred to the ECW brand, Haas began wrestling with a comical luchador persona, before developing a character where he imitated other wrestlers and WWE Hall of Famers.

Aside from wrestling, Haas and his wife Jackie, his former valet, run a nutritional store, Custom Muscle Nutrition and Smoothie Shop, in Frisco, Texas, which they opened in October 2008.


Now a part of the UCW roster, Haas has his eyes focused on the top of the ladder and championship gold.
