Fed Titles
Southern Heritage Champion (1x), Favoured Saints Champion (1x)
Rivals
- Henry Keyes
- Kerry Kuroyama
These two men had a violent conflict over the Southern Heritage Championship in an attempt to prove who was the greatest champion of all time. In the end, Keyes re-aggravated a pre-existing shoulder injury and ended Matt LaCroix's in-ring career for several years.
A rivalry built from disrespect has turned into a rivalry of mutual respect. Matt LaCroix jumped at the opportunity to steal a spot on the main DEFIANCE roster by dressing up as the Green Reaper and attacking Kerry Kuroyama. Breaking free from Crimson Lord to prove that he belongs on his own, his epic battles with Kerry Kuroyama have brought praise to the in-ring abilities of both men.
