LeStatt Knight

HISTORY

LeStatt Knight or known to some as Roberto Abitua was born November 10th 1979 in Mexico City, Mexico. At birth his mother died leaving her husband with the pain of raising Roberto and his twin brother Damen. Not able to handle the pressure and the pain of losing his wife, Roberto's father blamed the children for his wife's death and shot himselff in the hospital.

The two children were separated from there, Roberto being sent to Spain to live with his wealthy uncle Juanito and Damen being sent to the United States to live with their grandmother. Roberto was brought up in a nice home with all the things any child could ask for, loving parents, good schooling, and toys like you wouldn't believe. It was when he was very young that Roberto began learning to speak different languages and different forms of martial arts as well as amateur wrestling.

When Roberto was fourteen he met Cynthia Martinez, a young and beautiful girl who shared the same school as he did. They dated for close to three years before Cindy became pregnant when the couple were 17 years old. Knowing their families wouldn't accept this other wise the young couple got married, a few months later they had their daughter, Starr Abitua.

When Starr was less than two years old a tragic car accident took her life along with Cindy's. Roberto fled from Spain after this on a trail that led him to a twin brother he never knew he had. Damen was a polar opposite of Roberto, into drugs, gangs, etc. and Roberto with his money and ability joined right in.

The two thought they were invincible until a Drug Lord in Detroit, Michigan forced Roberto to watch his brother die. Roberto went into hiding aftter that not to be seen for over a year. It wasn't until a man helped Roberto learn to harness the aggression and rage built inside of him. This is when Roberto met his long time friend David Guerrero AKA RaZiel. It was RaZiel who brought Roberto into wrestling getting him in with an upstart promotion called Global Championship Wrestling under the name of Khris Krowe, a masked entity with very few words.

His career began very rocky in GCW under the Krowe name and soon Roberto fought hard to get a makeover of sorts. At Dangerous Games 2001 he lost the mask and entered the famous Battle Royal as LeStatt Knight.

Although Roberto nor RaZiel felt Roberto got the fair treatment he deserved they built on the GCW experience and went to prosper in other places such as XCW, 3WA, and even becoming World Champion in Dragon Wrestling Association after beating his most hated rival, Alex Grey, known in the GCW world as PAYNE.

Roberto has learned many lessons in his lifetime and although he is only 27 years old, his eyes tell a much older story. Roberto has learned to love since the tragedy that came down onto his family, falling for the controvertial Typhoid Mary. The two have since had their first child together, a son named Joaquin Roberto Abitua.

Although He has been in a few other promotions throughout his time in wrestling, Roberto has always thought of GCW as his home. Not only is it where he got his start but it's also where he found his greatest villain (turned greatest ally).

Since returning to GCW in 2005 the name "LeStatt Knight" has become more than anyone ever could have imagined. In the two years since GCW's reopening Knight has become nothing short of a legend, holding the US Title for (at the time) a record setting time, two time World Champion and has been inducted into the GCW Hall of Fame. He has notched wins against the best GCW has had and is now considered perhaps the most dominate entity in GCW's history.

Today Knight is a part of the most prolific version of Steven Caldera's Establishment ever seen with members Rich Rollins, Octavian and Branson King. For all of their star power however many see Knight as the heart and soul of the group. He has been GCW's rock, through the good times and the bad.

Although he has not had his hands on the World Title in almost a year it remains his main goal. Currently he is in the middle of a feud with young superstar Jay Terror, a budding prospect who looks to be the future of GCW. Problem is, as always, to be the best you have to beat the best.

And no one has proven more in GCW than LeStatt Knight.
