Brimstone
Born William M. Kucmierowsk, growing upin Uniondale, New York, Brimstone was never into sports. Prior to beginning his career in professional wrestling, Brimstone had a career in music performing as the drummer in bands such as Image, Who’s Laughing Now, and Bugsy. Bugsy received a nomination for Best Ska-Punk Act at the Long Island Music Awards in 1998.
Brimstone had been a fan of wrestling at a very young age and decided that he wanted to become a wrestler at twenty-one after a chance meeting with Bret Hart and the Iron Sheik. Brimstone’s wrestling career began in 1996 when he, and long time friend Chris Hostile decided to follow a life long dream. While looking through a professional wrestling publication, he came across an ad about a new wrestling school out of Queens, New York called “The Doghouse.” They had just freshly come off of a benefit show dedicated to ring veteran Junkyard Dog, and decided to go beyond their federation (Long Island Wrestling Federation - LIWF) and create a pro-wrestling facility. Former wrestler Bobby Lombardi owned the company, and the trainers were some of the best guys on the independent circuit at the time and are currently working for major companies in the business. They consisted of Homicide (a member of LAX in TNA), Low Ki (also known as Senshi in TNA), Monsta Mack, Low Life Louie, Magic, and Laithon (The Tower of Torture).
The roster of students consisted of wrestlers such as Lord Clarence MacDougal, Grim Reefer, Maniac Mike Mayhem, Justin Cage, Papadon, Havok (fresh from the Wild Samoans), El Diabolico, G.I.Joe, Mike Kruel, Fat Boy Rob, One Man Riot Squad, Psycho Tony, Major Intensity, and others.
The Doghouse grew rapidly and moved from its original quarters into a large warehouse. It was there that Brimstone met his mentor ‘The Original’ Gino Carusso of Unified Wrestling Federation, formally of WCW and many other federations across the country. Brimstone also learned from guests who came down to the school on a regular basis taking the training reigns such as Crazy Clown, Sir Christopher Michaels, and Dances With Dudley.
Brimstone joined Wrestling World Wide in 1997 and quickly became a mainstay of the federation. Although he wrestled many tag matches for the company, Brimstone remained a singles competitor for the larger part of his tenure there. He was brought into the company by Rocky Shore and T.N.T., known as “The Bad Boys.”
Brimstone became the Wrestling World Wide "Heavyweight Champion" in Manhattan, New York on August 5, 2000 after defeating One Man Riot Squad.
Now Brimstone has evolved from wrestler to comic book author/character writing comic books for Hound Comics with Brimstone as a title character in Brimstone and the Borderhounds, a series of popular comic books and he has written other characters such as Luscious based on his friend Eddie Castillo which is now becoming an animated series.
Eddie "Luscious" Castillo was always the loud kid in his youth, later growing up to become 'that' adult who just won't shut up! Having been caught with his hand in the cookie jar of talent on more than one occasion, Castillo now tackles voice acting. The youngest in a family of talented artists, Eddie became a shining star flaunting his comedic style, fictitious writing and varied musical abilities. Being a blossoming musician at the age of 8, he enjoyed drumming and eventually moved on to guitar and keyboard.
One of Eddie's key strengths has always been his voice. He is currently the frontman of his band 'Discipline Theory' where he showcases his powerful vocal capabilities. As the real life inspiration for the character in the Brimstone and The Borderhounds comic book... he now lends his vocal talent to voice the chicken loving 'Luscious' in Brimstone and The Borderhounds:
Another announcement from the Hound Comics team this past year was the upcoming release of, “The BIG Book of Luscious Chicken” featuring Luscious, Eddie Castillo, which the character for the book is based on. The live action cook book is the first project in the works in line with the plans to create a line of Borderhounds branded materials that will be available to fans. “We are looking to run the gambit of utilizing our most popular characters to innovate new ways of promoting the brand as a whole.” says Brimstone who continues with, “Luscious being one of the most beloved characters in the fledgling universe; he gets to be the proverbial guinea pig in our plans to take the entertainment world by storm!”
Now, these 2 colorful characters join Sissy as a tag team and match wits in this colorful interview on The Sissy Gamache Show this Friday night 7:30pm EST on MNN (Manhattan Neighborhood Network) Channel 56 Time Warner Cable Manhattan and on our website www.thesissygamacheshow.com
