Matt Thompson

Matt Beoulve (born May 3rd, 1978) is an Indonesian American professional wrestler better known by the ring name Komodo Dragon. He currently wrestles for the World Wrestling Alliance, a former member of the Primetime Central circuit.

Dark, intellagent, and easily agitated. Komodo is a hard nut to crack, you never know what he is thinking and he rarely share his thoughts with anyone outside a small number of people he trusts. He analyzes everything and always has a strategy, his temper is his downfall.

Komodo Dragon is best known as a member of the tag-team KaOs with the late Pyro who held the WWA Tag Team Championships in 2005. He was the original understudy of SurReal and as such became a member of the d.W.o faction.

Early Life

Born on the Island of Komodo, Indonesia to American parents who were wildlife researchers commissioned the study the feeding behaviour, reproduction, and body temperature of the largely unknown Komodo Dragons. As a young boy, Matt and his two brothers, grew up around these massive beasts. He keenly observed their way of life, their strengths and weaknesses all the while developing a great affinity with the creatures. At an early age Matt was diagnosed with gigantism, (he underwent successful surgery in the early 1990’s on his pituitary gland which halted the progress of this condition) and as a result of this condition he felt a particular bond with the equally larger-than-average creatures.

When Matt’s mother was attacked by a dragon in his mid-teens the family took the decision to move back to the United States. They moved to a small town called Montrose in Iowa, which provided a more normal environment for the teenage boys. With his mother recovering from her injuries his father was the primary caretaker for the three boys. Matt developed an interest in pro wrestling, which didn’t sit well with his devoutly Christian father who didn’t approve of the sport at all. As Matt’s interest grew, his relationship with his father became more and more strained.

Career

When Komodo was 18 he decided to leave his family despite his father's wishes to follow his dream. He was mostly apart of back yard wrestling ordeals for a long time. He was about to give up when Michael Hayes of the WwowW, which was being bought out buy the HCW. Within a month Komodo beat WwowW/HCW legend Triple X for the Hardcore Championship. He held this title for awhile and another wrestler by the name of Dani was gathering promising young talent for a group to surpass all others. He recruited Komodo, Along with eXplicit, Impaler, and Spike, and he called them KaOs. Soon KaOs overtook the HCW and held every title they had at once. Their iron grip of destruction was long lived until the day Michael Hays closed the doors to HCW. KaOs went their separate ways.

Alone again Komodo had no where to turn. He couldn't go to his dad, he resented him now. His brothers were both successful and despised Komodo for almost tearing the family apart when he left. Dani suspiciously disappeared and Komodo found comfort at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. He bought an old apartment in his home town in Iowa and drank away his days. Until one day he saw an add in the paper for a fed that was just opening, the NBW. Komodo jumped at the opportunity and was accepted in a heart beat. Here he met Chris Boomer and The Real Deal. Komodo feuded with the two men for his entire career in the NBW. And when they closed down just as Komodo was getting back into the feel of it the three stuck together.

The three of them hit many feds after this. They were usually allies but foes on some occasions and Komodo and Real Deal worked up some good feuds between each other... Komodo rarely ever picking up a win against him though. Komodo then suffered from a back injury and was forced to hang up his boots. He was inactive for months until he got a call from the transformed BooM... He was now SurReal, and he was asking for the help of Komodo. He was reforming the [d.W.o.], Death World Order, and wanted Komodo to join him. Komodo got checked out and wasn't fully cleared but he joined anyway. As Komodo, SurReal, The Real Deal, and Kaiowas formed their strong bond, and stuck by these few words "d.W.o. aint for life... It's forever!". But soon Kaiowas went off in the singles alone, SurReal was injured, Real Deal suffered from many personal problems and thus Komodo was again alone. He suffered another injury and he hung up his boots another time.

Komodo then wondered for a few months and ran into boy-hood friend Pyro. He was a slack jawed, nobody still doing the back yard circuit... So he decided to do for Pyro what SurReal did for him. The two joined together and took the tag devision by storm. But Komodo felt something was missing. He felt empty with their win of the tag team championships. He wanted more... More power, more strength, more knowledge, more everything... And he knew there was only one way...
