Billy Scream started out in Tucson as a trainee of Ron Sutherland, making his debut in Tucson in the late 1980s. He also saw action in Phoenix and environs, but only on an irregular basis. Among the people he faced were The Lumberjacks, John Ringer, Death Dealer, The Golden Eagle, Lance Ferraro, JT Law and The Black Mamba.
Though closely resembling one of The Nasty Boys, both in physical appearance and style, he was always a fan favorite with the audience.
On many occasions, Scream teamed with his trainer and would also come to his rescue in singles matches where Sutherland was being double teamed. It became common to see Scream charging the ring with a chair in hand, cleaning house.
Scream retired in 1994, but made a comeback when Sutherland started promoting his Rage In The Cage promotion. Though he did not appear on every card and had to take time out for injuries sustained along the way, he was still a mainstay, facing a variety ion opponents.
The inevitable happened when Scream made one of his celebrated run-ins, got Sutherland disqualified and caused his mentor to turn on him. After a very brief Tucson run as a villain, Sutherland recanted his evil ways and mended his rift with his favorite stduent.
Scream quit for good in 2000.
