The first wrestler to enter the Hall of Legends is by far, the hardest working wrestler for the year 2008.
He started out the year with what some would have called a lucky break. A fued with former True Expert, Sewaside, found him the victor and the holder of the True Expert Title. Those that laughed him off as a fluke found fuel for their accusations when he lost it a week later against Reggie Fresh in the XWF. Black Death had other plans, however. He recaptured the title later on in a rematch, which should have solidified him. Unfortunately, he lost it once again this time in GCW to Dandelion.

What next for the big man? How could he prove that he was not only worthy of the main event, but a spot in the hall of fame? He answered everyone when he outlasted ten other wrestlers to not only win the main event of The Experts Invitational, but defeated Dandelion and won the True Expert Title for the third time.

He defended the title again at Legacy Plaza in an impromptu match in June commonly referred to as Crimson's Quest. From there, he was the man that everybody wanted to take down. And everyone had their chance at The Extreme Tournament, when 60 other wrestlers competed for the title. Black Death entered in the 3rd round, fighting his way to the main event and placing the True Expert title on the line each time. In the end, he lost to Level One, perhaps one of the greatest wrestler to ever live in a very close and highly contested match.

Black Death returned to the Experts in August 2009 at the Extreme Tourament to challenge Draeden Darksky, however he soon found himself booked at Rival Factions in a Street Fight with the new CEO. Few could have guessed the carnage that the match became, as it ended with Black Death being driven through a wall by Darksky and his career came to an end.
