Background:

Chapter 1- In the Beginning

Shawn FX (Real name Shawn Philips) was born July 4, 1977 to proud parents Michael Philips Sr. and Victoria Philips. Shawn grew up in the great state of Texas- Houston Texas more specifically. At a very young age Shawn knew he wanted to become a professional wrestler. He sought the in-ring teachings of a retired mexican wrestler known the world over as EL DINGO. El Dingo taught young Shawn the intricate style of the Luchadores. At the very ripe age of 16 Shawn debuted under a mask simply known as RIOT. (The mask was to keep his parents from knowing he was wrestling instead of doing homework at the school library!)

Chapter 2- Tradegy strikes

Shawn was already in line for a TWF (Texas Wrestling Federation) Regional title shot when Shawn's brother Michael leaked out the information that Shawn had been wrestling without his parent's permission. In a blind rage Michael Philips Sr. piled his wife and oldest son into the family car to find where young Shawn had been sneaking off to wrestle. On the way, the unthinkable happened. A truck driver under the influence of alchol plowed head on without even hitting the breaks into the vechile three forths of the Philips family was riding in. After ambulance, police, fire rescue, and the jaws of life arrived at the accident site it was unfortunately too late. Michal Philips Sr, Michael Philips Jr, and Victoria Philips were all pronounced dead on the scene on July 3, 1994.

Chapter 3- The depression and the altercation

After Shawn returned from his pro wrestling show to be told the news of his family's tragic and untimely passing he was devastated. He quit school and drowned his sorrows away at various local bars and strip clubs that his "friend" Jacknife got him into. El Dingo became very concerned with his depressed protege's erratic behavior. Shawn started experimenting with drugs. No amount of advice or comforting words could keep Shawn away from living life in the fast lane. El Dingo had no choice but to fire Shawn from the TWF for sleeping with his wife El Dango. (Dingo/Dango oh never mind!) El Dingo and Shawn had an altercation involving a switch blade. This is why a deep, jagged scar can still be seen on Shawn's left shoulder. El Dingo was not so lucky, however simply to have a scar to remember the incident by. Police have still not figured out who the John Doe is they found sliced to pieces and stuffed in a garbage can in a dark alley way. All they know is that the "man" had the initials FX carved deep into his chest cavity. It is a strange mystery indeed.

Chapter 4- The transition

After spending some time in a mental hospital, Shawn hopped on a bus and moved to Phoenix Arizona. He began to embark on a new journey that he would never forget. He met a man by the name of Bill Grecco and began shoot wrestling for a UFC type promotion known as Prize Fight Wrestling. Shawn earned a lot of money and drinking privileges beating such names as Strongman, Bouncer Mike, Little Grecco, Thriller, Shocka, "Rebel" Randy Hayes, and many more.

Chapter 5- Short lived romance

Shawn met a young woman by the name of HADES. This woman was nothing short of gorgeous. Hades however was too much like Shawn in many respects. Shawn caught his "Main Squeeze" cheating on him with one of the wrestlers in a hotel room after a show in Casaer's Palace. Shawn confronted this wrestler, knife in hand and was subsequently arrested. It was a total SET UP! Hades had been seeing this wrestler all along and were plotting a way to get Shawn out of PFW. Their plan succeeded.

Chapter 6- Time in the slammer?

Shawn thought we would be spending the rest of his life in a maximum security prison when an unexpected visitor arrived. It was HIPW (High Impact Pro Wrestling) promoter Wild Bill Wrangler. Wrangler agreed to bust Shawn out of jail, but only on one condition- Shawn had to wrestle exclusively for HIPW (High Impact Pro Wrestling) Shawn agreed and headed back to Texas with a new job awaiting him and a new, fresh start on life.

Chapter 7- Rookie of the year honors

Shawn totally changed his life around. He began retraining and learning a more diverse style of wrestling under the veteran guidance of "The Technican" Matt Mayhem. Now that Shawn was in HIPW things would be much different. Shawn knuckled down, listened to his teachers, and finally finished high school at a local community college. This was an incredible feat considering he was on the road working for HIPW on the weekends. A local wrestling magazine- Texas Wrestling Illustrated featured Shawn in an article and named him TWI Rookie of the Year.

Chapter 8- The Mission

Shawn's first order of business was to win the HIPW Television Championship. Canadian wrestler Chris Bennett had been taunting Shawn for weeks that "some green unknown rookie" couldn't get the job done. Well the Canadian was proven wrong. Shawn FX won his first championship title with perseverance and humility in a classic bout defeating Chris Bennett and becoming the HIPW Television Champion on August 4, 1998.

Chapter 9- Title -vs- Title

HIPW Western States Champion "The Barber" Barry Butcher began seeing the crowds reacting to Shawn's every move during match and chanting "boring" every time "The Barber" would clamp on a sleeper hold. Professional jealousy then insued. "The Barber" refused to be impressed with Shawn's flashy suplex/run/fly off the turnbuckles style. "The Barber" wanted to teach Shawn an old school lesson the Texas bull rope way. The plan backfired. Shawn FX became the first and only unified HIPW Television/Western States Champion. There was only one goal left... The HIPW National Championship!

Chapter 9 1/2- Title -vs- Title (Again)>

Now that Shawn had won two championships and were holding them simultaneously he was an automatic top contender for the HIPW National Championship. HIPW promoter Wild Bill Wrangler, however put a new spin on the envitable title versus title match between HIPW Television/Western States Champion Shawn FX and HIPW National Champion Dozer. The match would be aired on TNN and would determine the first officially recognized HIPW World Heavyweight Champion. Shawn's first moment of truth was about to arrive.

Chapter 10- The Match of the Millenium

On almost the exact stroke of midnight January 1, 2000 Shawn FX became the first ever HIPW World Heavyweight Champion. Despite outside interference by Dozer's new tag team partner Bronc nothing could stop Shawn from fulfilling his destiny. One miss que clothesline by Bronc on Dozer and one Superkick later by Shawn FX the celebration, the streamers, the confetti, and the balloons falling from the ceiling of Texas Stadium began!

Chapter 11- Money, Wild Women, and Song

Shawn FX enjoyed his explosive ride to fortune and fame during the year 2000. He established himself as a very credible champion by taking on all comers, from any region of the states or part of the world for that matter. Strangely enough, HIPW unexpectedly shut down. Wild Bill Wrangler and his "stable" of wrestlers suddenly disappeared off of the face of the earth with no explanation. Many have their own theories. Maybe they went South of the border in honor of El Dingo? Who knows.... Shawn FX vacated his HIPW World Heavyweight Championship just recently. He is still trying to find out what happened to the federation he had enjoyed so much success in... That is until now- That is until the discovery of z T w !
