The Disciples of Death

The Disciples of Death were a wrestling stable lead by Curt Barnes, known as Rick Reaper.

The stable was a dark and demonic themed trio, claiming to be mercenaries from hell. It consisted of leader Rick Reaper, and his proteges Demon and The Burglar.

Formation (May 30, 2002)
Curt Barnes had joined East End much earlier than his brothers, tied with Simon (The Barbarian). Curt was known for his legit vicious personality, and disdain towards fellow wrestlers that were not related to him nor found to be his liking.

His two younger brothers, David (Demon) and Steve (Burglar) were shown interest in the business at East End, and after seeing the immediate success of brothers Caden (Splendid), Simon (Barbarian) and Kyle (Punch-Man), were hooked.

Due to the conflicting personas the two had interest in not fitting in with a "Hero" theme, they decided to join up with Curt, and together, the formed the Disciples of Death, serving as proteges of Curt, who at the time, was known as Jazz.

Jazz had immediately changed his gimmick to Rick Reaper, the overseeing Grim Reaper who would bring unwary victims to hell, while Demon was a hellbent vigilante, later becoming the right hand man of Rick Reaper, while Burglar was an apprentice disciple who was a sneaky and sly, soul thief.

Debut (June 15, 2002)
The Disciples of Death made their reign of terror in June 2002.

Disbanding/Merging with The Villains (2006)
Following the debut of Splendont, he insisted on forming his own stable, the Villains. Because of this, he "hired" mercenaries of the Disciples of Death, the three members, to join his new stable and work under him. As such, the Disciples of Death merged in and was now lead by both Splendid and The Tornado (formerly Rick Reaper). The Villains disbanded in 2014.

Wrestling Style
Rick Reaper was a powerhouse who would often use power slams or scoop slams, and fought with brute strength, much similar to his brother The Barbarian's style. He often fought dirty and would use cheapshots, such as hiding under the ring mat while his opponent was performing an entrance, and ambush them, a style shared among the group. He also loved to gouge eyes, pull hair and choke toss his opponent.

Demon was a powerhouse somewhat similar to his master Rick Reaper, and loved to use choke holds, slams and tosses. He also loved to claw his opponent's face.

￼Burglar was a technical speedster, using speed and technique to gain his advantage, such as key submission and quick, sneaky holds.
