Professional wrestling career

Chastain was mentored by Abdullah the Butcher, who inspired him to use a fork as a foreign object during matches.[1] Early in his career, Chastain faced and defeated such wrestlers as Mr. Pogo and Abdullah the Butcher.[3] In TNA Wrestling, he was brought in by manager Don Callis to feuded with The Sandman.[4][5] At TNA's fifty-third weekly pay-per-view event, Chastain defeated Norman Smiley.[2] Chastain later lost a pay-per-view match against The Sandman. After the match, Callis ended his business arrangement with Chastain, putting on a rubber glove and then shaking his hand.[6]

In 2003, he was one third of the alliance The Extreme Freebirds, with Tank and Ray Gordy.[7]

After winning the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Championship, he defended it against Mikael Judas and Phill Shatter at the NWA 60th Anniversary Show. In NWA in September 2009, he wrestled in a match which carried a stipulation that he would be forced to retire if he lost. Iceberg lost the match but then wrestled one final match under his real name, Edward Chastain, claiming that only the Iceberg character had to retire.[3] During this match, he wore a dress shirt and tie, and the fans chanted "You're a legend!" after Chastain won the match.[3][8]
