His name was Krampus, but those who crossed his path would soon learn to tremble at the sound of his ring names: Daniel Pruehs, Daniel Pruce, and Jack Hammer. Standing at an imposing 5'11" and weighing in at a chiseled 231 pounds, this powerhouse of a wrestler brought with him an aura of intimidation that left opponents quaking in their boots.As a freelancer, Krampus roamed the wrestling landscape, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

When he stepped into the ring, all bets were off, and the audience held its collective breath as this Austrian behemoth set out to vanquish all who dared oppose him.But Krampus's path to greatness was not without its detours. He had dabbled in other sports before finding his true calling in the world of professional wrestling. Football had been his first love, but it was the thrill of body-slamming opponents that ultimately won out. As he navigated the twists and turns of his early career, Krampus honed his skills in various promotions, including Ohio Valley Wrestling, European Wrestling Association, New European Championship Wrestling, All Star Wrestling, and Unlimited Wrestling.The date March 7th, 2012, marked the beginning of Krampus's storied wrestling career. Little did anyone know that this uninvited guest would go on to become a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling. And though he may not have been invited into the ring, Krampus would soon make himself right at home – as Winterdemon, the scourge of the squared circle.
