"Bulldozer" Brandon Smith is a heavyweight grappler from Robinsdale, Minnesota. A former football stand-out, he began training to be a wrestler when a knee injury ended his dreams of pro ball. He is a powerful fighter who generally likes to get in close and crush his opponent with heavy duty Japanese-style suplexes and violent slams. He was spotted by Rip Chord during some of his first few independent matches, and impressed enough that he was brought into MAW for training. He made his debut for the promotion in October 2007, working under a mask as the ultra old-school character The Masked Patriot.
