History
Biography
Rocko Daymon's nomadic career in professional wrestling has been ongoing since the late 90's, and has spanned countless federations and territories. Over that time, he's won numerous World Heavyweight and intermediate championships, and defined an identity as a competitor fully committed to improving himself as well as the sport. But such a legacy came at a price, including numerous chronic injuries, the demons of substance abuse, and a failed marriage to his longtime manager and companion, Caitlyn. Yet despite the obstacle both in and out of the ring, Daymon has continuously managed to rise in the ranks of greatness time and time again.
In 2010, an aging Rocko Daymon founded The Dojo Wrestling & Fitness Academy in Seattle as a means of passing on his skills and experience to future generations of professional wrestlers. One of his first students was a young Kerry Kuroyama, the son of Daymon's own friend and trainer, the late Japanese-American indie wrestling veteran Zack Kuroyama. Under Rocko's highly-disciplined and focused tutelage, Kerry proved to be an ideal pupil, eager to learn and improve as he built a future following the path of the family business.
In the years that followed, Daymon caught the spotlight once more when he rejoined Empire Pro Wrestling in a passionate campaign to reclaim the World Heavyweight Title, while Kuroyama cut his teeth in various indie wrestlilng and MMA federations in both the state and Japan, enjoying a brief tenure in New Frontier Wrestling where he quickly established himself as a potential up-and-comer.
In early 2016, the paths of student and master have merged once more with the formation of the Rain City Ronin. Now as tag partners, the two seek a new interest in overcoming new challenges. Daymon is focused on making the best of the final years his body has to offer, while his protege Kuroyama continues to seek out the knowledge he needs to become one of professional wrestling's most elite future stars.
