October 20, 2006 - For six consecutive years IGN and THQ have teamed up to bring our readers an ongoing exclusive look at the superstars of the WWE, and this season is no exception. Famous the world over, our "SmackDown Countdown" chronicles each wrestler, diva, and legend that will appear in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, and comes complete with never-before-seen screenshots and direct-feed movies of every last one of them. Every day for the next nine weeks, we'll profile more than 60 different personalities (including two each on Mondays and Fridays as a special homage to Raw and SmackDown fans), and for the first time ever, will cover two different platforms with images and video from both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions. Hot stuff? You bet.
But enough with the formalities it's time to throw down with today's Countdown superstar, Kid Kash!

Kid Kash debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling in May 2005 as part of a title tournament, hoping to be offered a WWE contract. His first appearance on television was as one of many interferers in the main event at ECW One Night Stand 2005. His first official proper WWE outing, however, was on a June 2005 airing of Sunday Night HEAT against Tajiri in what was designated a tryout match. In August 3, 2005, he was reported to have signed a developmental deal with WWE and to have been assigned to Deep South Wrestling. Upon Kash's WWE debut, he became only the second former TNA X Division champion on the WWE's active roster (the first being Frankie Kazarian).
Kid Kash would go on to make successful appearances on Velocity through October and November, where he defeated Funaki and Scotty 2 Hotty among others, and rose through the ranks of its cruiserweight division. Kash made his first appearance on SmackDown to assist MNM in beating down The Mexicools. In December, Kash defeated Super Crazy on SmackDown and went on to beat Juventud Guerrera with his Dead Level brainbuster at Armageddon to become the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
In January 2006, Kash suffered an injury during a house show. A few weeks later, during a backstage promo between Kurt Angle and Mark Henry, Kash could clearly be seen in the background with his arm in an orthopedic cast. Kid Kash lost his Cruiserweight Championship at the 2006 Royal Rumble in a Cruiserweight Invitational, involving himself, Funaki, Jamie Noble, Paul London, Nunzio and Gregory Helms, after Helms pinned Funaki. On a later SmackDown! Kash was supposed to get his rematch for the title, but due to a family emergency he had to miss the tapings and his rematch.
At No Way Out 2006, Kash finally got another shot at the title in a nine-way WWE Cruiserweight championship match also involving Psicosis, Super Crazy, Nunzio, Funaki, Scotty 2 Hotty, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, and the champion Gregory Helms. Kash had the match won after hitting his Dead Level Brainbuster on Psicosis but Super Crazy would break up the pin with a Moonsault which then allowed Gregory Helms to roll onto Psicosis for the 3 count.
After losing the Cruiserweight title at the Royal Rumble, Kash would begin to frequently tag team with fellow cruiserweight Jamie Noble to take on the face members of the cruiserweight division; during May 2006, Kash and Noble debuted a gimmick, where they would wear dog collars as well as bark and bite. The pair was soon named The Pit Bulls and would enter the hunt for Paul London and Brian Kendrick's WWE Tag Team Championship. However, the team would come to an end after Kid Kash's release from the company on September 27, 2006.
