The Zeitgeist is a two-time EWA Champion, two-time Westchester Backyard Champion and one-time EWA Tag Team Champion. Now a decorated veteran of this backyard wrestling outfit, The Zeitgeist first appeared in the EWA in 2012, stating his mission as such: to bring change to the EWA.
Before joining the EWA, The Zeitgeist made infrequent appearances under various pseudonyms in wrestling promotions around Chicago, a city he says he chose to call home because of the corruption rampant among its political and civil leaders. Not just a wrestler, he considers himself a political activist dedicated to the principles of anarchy, which he believes to be the only path to true justice for all.
His beliefs were forged in a tragic childhood. Both of his parents, he would learn later in life, were CIA agents stationed in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion of the 1980s, and The Zeitgeist was born on the hillside border with Pakistan during their assignment. When Congress pulled the funding for their operation, his parents fled the country without their child. A young Zeitgeist survived among the mountain tribes who made the Soviet invasion a failure.
Using the pain of abandonment and the strength that upbringing demanded, The Zeitgeist found his way to the U.S. a man. And not just any man: a man on a mission, ready to enact the changing of the climate.
