Kasey Geyer (born September 1, 1965), also known by the ring name K.C. Thunder, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler, promoter and trainer. He was one of the top “heel” performers in the Southern United States during the 1990s. Geyer is perhaps best known for his tenure in Southern States Wrestling where he is a former SSW Heavyweight Champion and a five-time SSW Tag Team Champion with real-life cousins Beau James and Steve Flynn. He was also a member of Count Grog’s stable “The Brotherhood” in Southern Championship Wrestling and was the promotion’s first-ever SCW North Carolina Champion.
On May 24, 1995, Thunder defeated Buddy Landel in Asheville, North Carolina to become the Great American Wrestling Federation’s inaugural heavyweight champion. On October 14, he wrestled Robert Gibson at a Smoky Mountain Wrestling show at Defiance High School. He later won the battle royal main event later that night. On April 20, 1996, The Beach Patrol defeated The Carolina Connection in Murphy, North Carolina for the vacant SEWA Tag Team titles. Their second and last title reign lasted until mid-summer when they lost the belts to The Carolina Stud Stable (Carolina Heartbreaker and Carolina Heartthrob) in Waynesville. The two appeared together as pro wrestlers in the television film Angel with a Kick. Later that year, Thunder defeated Danny Christian for the SSW Heavyweight Championship in Fall Branch, Tennessee.
Thunder became a member of “The Brotherhood” under Count Grog upon joining Southern Championship Wrestling. He was billed as “the best dancer in SCW”. On February 22, 1997, Thunder defeated Big Slam in a tournament final to become the inaugural SCW North Carolina Champion. He remained champion for nearly a year, defending the title against challengers such as “Ruthless” Roger Anderson, before being deposed by ex-Brotherhood member Boris Dragoff in Louisburg, North Carolina on November 22, 1997. Grog later called Thunder one of his favorite top ten wrestlers to manage. Thunder also feuded with his former tag team partner “Iceman” Chris Cannon.
Thunder also spent three years wrestling for Al Snow’s Global Wrestling Alliance promotion in Lima, Ohio. He received additional training from Snow and Dan Severn at the Bodyslammers Gym.
