1974

Christopher Ford (born March 4, 1974) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his tenure in World Championship Wrestling under the ring name Crowbar, where he was a one time Hardcore Champion, a one time World Tag Team Champion with David Flair and a one time Cruiserweight Champion, which he held jointly with Daffney.

He, Jerry Lynn and Christopher Daniels are the only wrestlers in history to have wrestled for World Wrestling Federation, World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Ring Of Honor and All Elite Wrestling.

He currently performs on the independent circuit either as The Timeless One, Crowbar or Devon Storm.

While attending college, Ford began training under "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

After completing his training, he began wrestling on the independent circuit under the ring name Devon Storm and formed a successful tag team known as The Extreme with Ace Darling.

1994

In November 1994, Storm took part in a tournament for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, vacated by Shane Douglas; he lost to Tracy Smothers in the first round.

1996

After a few years on the indies, Storm wrestled in about 30 matches in Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1996, including losing to Taz via countout at Hostile City Showdown, 2 Cold Scorpio at November to Remember in a loser leaves town match, and Balls Mahoney at Holiday Hell.

In 1996, he had four matches in WCW as Dangerous Devon Storm, including a match against Konnan for the United States Championship.

1997

In 1997, Ford, while using his Devon Storm name, took part in a tournament in the World Wrestling Federation to determine the first-ever Light Heavyweight Champion.

He wrestled against and lost to Taka Michinoku, who later went on to win the tournament and the title.

1998

From 1998 to 1999, he would later appear on editions of Shotgun Saturday Night, losing to the likes of Droz and D'Lo Brown.

He and Ace Darling briefly reunited as a tag team (but not using the name The Extreme) in a losing effort against the then newly formed team of Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor.

After leaving the WWF, Storm signed a developmental deal with World Championship Wrestling.

After signing with WCW he reformed The Extreme with Darling, but the team saw little success.

Following the disbanding of The Extreme, he was placed in a faction with David Flair and Daffney, where he debuted under the name Crowbar.

The gimmick of the faction saw all three members act mentally insane, with Daffney becoming known for screaming in her matches and Crowbar being prone to using high risk moves.

2000

On the January 3, 2000 edition of Monday Nitro, Crowbar won the World Tag Team Championship alongside Flair after winning a tournament against the teams of Lash LeRoux and Midnight, Buff Bagwell and Vampiro, and finally Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner.

They later dropped the title to The Mamalukes (Big Vito and Johnny the Bull) on the January 19 edition of Thunder.

After losing a rematch at SuperBrawl 2000, Crowbar teamed up with Daffney to defeat then Cruiserweight Champion Chris Candido and Tammy Lynn Sytch after Daffney pinned Sytch on the May 15 edition of Nitro, thus making them co-champions.

Crowbar soon faced Daffney to determine the undisputed Cruiserweight Champion.

Crowbar held back during the match, but still dominated the smaller Daffney.

However, Candido entered the ring and hit Crowbar with a reverse piledriver and Daffney inadvertently pinned him while trying to revive him and thus became the second woman to hold the Cruiserweight Championship.

Crowbar soon began feuding with former tag partner David Flair as well, in which both men traded wins on Thunder.

Crowbar soon began chasing after the Hardcore Championship, which he won from Reno on the November 6 edition of Thunder.

He later retained the title at Mayhem after defeating Reno and former rival Big Vito.

During his reign as Hardcore Champion, he began a feud with Terry Funk that culminated at the final Starrcade pay-per-view, which saw Funk defeat Crowbar to claim his third and final Hardcore Championship.

2001

Ford was later released from WCW in March 2001, right before the company was bought out by the World Wrestling Federation.

During his time in WCW, Ford continued to work in the physical therapy field when he was not on the road and returned full-time to physical therapy after his release from WCW.

After the closure of WCW, Ford, returning to his Devon Storm ring name, defeated fellow WCW alumnus Rick Fuller in a dark match on the April 10, 2001 edition of SmackDown!.

He then spent some time in the now defunct World Wrestling All-Stars promotion, where he feuded with Sabu.

During his tenure with the company, Storm became the WWA's first and only Hardcore Champion on October 24 when he defeated Danny Dominion in a tables match.

2002

In 2002, Ford, under the new name Tempest, joined NWA Total Nonstop Action and became a part of Father James Mitchell's stable, The New Church.

2003

In early 2003, Ford wrestled briefly for Xtreme Pro Wrestling under the names Judas and Salem, losing his first match to former New Church ally Malice and winning the second against Vic Grimes.

Ford later wrestled in several dark matches for World Wrestling Entertainment from mid to late 2003 Ford, alternating between his Devon Storm and Crowbar ring names, wrestled against the likes of Joey Matthews and former WCW alumni Scott Steiner and Sean O'Haire in dark matches before SmackDown! as well as on Sunday Night Heat and Velocity.

2004

On June 4, 2004, Ford began working for HealthSouth as a site coordinator and as an outpatient physical therapist.

In addition to working in physical therapy, he returned to wrestling on the independent circuit under his Devon Storm and Crowbar ring names and began competing for various National Wrestling Alliance territories as well as other northeast independent promotions, such as the East Coast Wrestling Association, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Bodyslam Wrestling Organization, and the Pro Wrestling Syndicate.

2012

On October 6, 2012, Storm was defeated by Shawn Daivari in the House of Hardcore's first show.

Storm entered the Extreme Rising World Championship tournament which was eventually won by Stevie Richards.

He defeated Sabu in the opening round but was defeated by Rhino in the semi-finals.
