Dr. Disaster

Ari Berson (born February XX, XXXX) is a fictional American professional wrestler who currently works for the American Wrestling Federation (AWF), better known by his ring name Dr. Disaster. A renowned hardcore deathmatch wrestler, he made his debut and found success in Combat Zone Wrestling, where he is a former 2-time CZW World Heavyweight Championship and also a 2-time CZW Wired Championship. He also has won the CZW Tournament of Death twice.

After leaving CZW, Berson began working full-time for the AWF, where he gained mainstream attention for his "ultraviolent" and brawling wrestling style that had not been seen in the promotion at that point.

Combat Zone Wrestling (2013–2016)
Berson debuted in CZW in 2013, working as an undercard talent in mostly one-sided matches. His rise to the top began when he opposed CZW owner DJ Hyde in early 2015. After repeatedly causing disruptions and havoc for Hyde, Berson began calling himself Dr. Disaster. The two met in a one-on-one match at Best of the Best 14 on April 11, 2015, which Doc lost. After the match, Hyde delivered a beatdown on Doc, who was then saved by the returning Nick Gage. Doc took part in Tournament of Death 14 on June 13, which he went on to win. After this win, Doc began ascending the CZW ranks. He became a two-time CZW Wired Champion and challenged for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship several times. However, reigning champion Matt Tremont defeated him each and every time.

On May 14, 2016 at Prelude to Violence, Doc shockingly won the CZW World Heavyweight Championship in a three-way match against Tremont and Danny Havoc, pinning Havoc. On June 11 at Tournament of Death XV, Doc interfered in Tremont's semifinal match to avoid meeting him in the finals. Doc would go on to win the entire tournament, scoring his second Tournament of Death. However, Tremont repeatedly challenged Doc to face him one-on-one, but Doc continually got out of defending the title. After a series of matches between the two, all of which Doc lost, Tremont challenged him to a Loser Leaves CZW match for the championship at Cage of Death 18 on December 10. In the midst of the match, Doc was attacked from behind by a masked man revealed to be Rob Van Dam, causing him to lose the title to Tremont and forcing him to leave CZW. But not before Tremont severely scarred Doc's face with a shard of glass.

On December 9, 2016, vignettes began to air on AWF Friday Night Clash, depicting a seemingly disfigured prepubescent child living on the street and being rejected by society, covering his face with mud to hide himself. Years later that child, now an adult, nearly broke a wrestling trainer's neck in the ring. Each vignette ended with the phrase "Disaster is Coming." Dr. Disaster made his AWF debut at Capitol Hill on February 26, 2017 in the Capitol Hill match, now sporting evil clown makeup and seemingly suffering from muteness. He was eliminated from the match by Trevor Gruen and J.T. Flairs.

Feud with The Trash Man (2017–2018)
On March 17, Doc had his AWF singles debut against Benjamin Cole, which ended in a countout when Cole fled up the ramp from Doc's brutality. On April 7 after a match with Jon Silver, he was attacked by Cole's partner The Trash Man. On May 28 at Graduation II, Doc defeated The Trash Man in a falls count anywhere match and succeeded in putting Trash Man on the bench with a neck injury.

On June 23, Dr. Disaster began a feud with The Lexbot. After several matches with Lex that ended in various disqualifications, the two faced off on July 30 at Summer Breakdown in a no disqualification match which Lex won by submission after badly damaging Doc's leg. The feud continued another two months, culminating in the first AWF Last Man Standing match between at October 1 at School of Pain. Lex won again by putting Doc through the announce table. After the match, Trash Man made his return from injury, driving a front-load garbage truck to the ring and dumping Doc into the back of it. After a series of brutal attacks on one another, the two faced off in a Steel Cage Trash match on November 26 at Midterm Mania, which Doc won. On January 12, The Trash Man challenged Doc to a no holds barred street fight after recruiting Jon Silver to be the referee for the match. On January 28 at Grim Resolution, Trash Man defeated Doc after hitting him with a Hangman's Noose DDT on J.T. Masters' desk.

On February 23, Doc took part in a battle royal for the AWF World Heavyweight Championship. With the help of the Conspiracy, they almost eliminated reigning champion The Lexbot, but Doc was eliminated by The Trash Man after he and Benjamin Cole came to Lex's rescue. On April 1 at Capitol Hill, Doc took part in the 2018 Capitol Hill match. He advanced to the second round after eliminating Mohawk Morgan, but was eliminated by Brian Halligan. On April 6, Doc was attacked from behind with a chair by Cole, who turned on The Trash Man at Capitol Hill. On May 11, Cole and Trash Man finally confronted each other in the ring but were soon joined by a vengeful Doc. This resulted in the three of them being put in a triple threat match at Graduation. On May 27 at Graduation III, Cole won the match after hitting Trash Man with a low blow and then pinning Doc with his feet on the ropes. This would end Doc's feud with The Trash Man.

Various feuds (2018–present)
On July 29 at Summer Breakdown, Doc was eliminated from the #1 contender's battle royal for the Pan-American Championship by Cole. On August 17, he would be challenged by Ben the Unhinged on his Via Dolorosa.
