Bio:

A graduate of the KPW "Wild4Wrestling" training school, Whetu caught the eye of the original Maori Warrior, Mister Juno Huia.  Whetu made his debut at KPW's AfterBlaster in July 2008 in the Battle Royal for the Number One Contendership.

Whetu has embraced his Maori warrior heritage to take the fight to all those who stand between him and his dreams of KPW glory.  He brings raw athletic potential, a sharp mind and a vicious nature to the ring.  The Maori Warrior is a quick learner and all set to quickly teach his opponents to fear him.

One of the up-and-coming stars of KPW, Whetu formed the maroro tihi ("mighty team") tag team in early 2009 with Jade Diamond to challenge for the vacant KPW Tag Team Championship.  Though they had to go through two other teams to get to the finals of the tournament, they were narrowly beaten by the Renegades (Kade Morgan "3G" and The Technician) who had managed to get a bye to the finals.  Nevertheless, the maroro tihi remain top challengers for the KPW Tag Team Championship.
