Paul Diamond Biography

Paul Diamond is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on May 11, 1961 in Zagreb, Croatia. Boric was born in Zagreb, Croatia in 1961 and was a child who wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father and play soccer. When Boric was thirteen years old the family moved to Croatia to Canada and settled at Winnipeg, Manitoba. Tom was awarded an all-sports scholarship to Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

In the aftermath of training Boric was wrestling in the form of “Paul Diamond” in 1985. He made his debut with the Texas All-Star Wrestling promotion in San Antonio, Texas. He first formed the tag team American Breed with Nick Kiniski (son of legendary wrestler Gene Kiniski) in Fred Barend’s Texas All-Star Wrestling. The two of them, however, neither Diamond or Kiniski are really American, (Diamond is Croatian/Canadian while Kiniski is Canadian) therefore the team’s name was rather humorous.

Diamond and Michaels lost and then regained the titles from the “Masked Hoods” (Ricky Santana and Tony Torres) before being beaten for the titles on January 27, 1986 by Al Madrill and Magnificent Zulu. Both Michaels and Diamond began to add more to their wrestling skills, thanks in part to fellow wrestler Chris Adams, who split his time between World Class Championship Wrestling and Texas All-Star at the time.

Badd Company also won the CWA’s main tag team titles in Memphis, when they defeated Jeff Jarrett and Billy Joe Travis for the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship on August 8, 1987. Tanaka and Diamond soon lost them as the Nasty Boys took the gold from them just over a month later.

The team took they won the TASW Tag Team Championship from the Maoris (Tudui and Wakahi) on May 25, 1985. They kept the title up until Al Madrill and Chavo Guerrero claimed the titles on June 5 the 5th of June, 1985. The titles would be taken away the following month, when Chavo Guerrero decided to not wrestle in a rematch with Diamond and Kiniski because his dad Gory Guerrero was the official referee selected in the match. Madrill was paired together with Black Gorman instead but lost the match. Following this match Madrill was adamant about Chavo Guerrero breaking the team, causing the title to be put on hold.

Diamond signed with the World Wrestling Federation in 1990, working mainly on the lower card against Dustin Rhodes, Hillbilly Jim, and Al Perez, usually in a losing role. Orient Express member Akio Sato decided to take a position in the Titan (WWF) front office focusing on the WWF television rights sold to Japan TV networks following the 1990 Survivor Series. Following Survivor Series 1990 the “C-team” house shows were no longer taking place and many wrestlers left television following the event. The move left Pat Tanaka without a partner in The Orient Express. The WWF decided to reunite the team known as Badd Company, only this time with Paul Diamond wearing a mask to hide the fact that he was not Asian and using the name of Kato. During this time, the team had a very well received match with their old enemies the Rockers at the 1991 Royal Rumble, and another acclaimed match against the New Foundation at the 1992 Royal Rumble, which were the only PPV appearances for the New Orient Express. Kato spent a great deal of the 1992 campaign flying solo, posting a notable victory over The Brooklyn Brawler at Maple Leaf Gardens on February 9, 1992, in addition to collecting wins against the likes of grinders such as Jim Powers, Phil Apollo, JW Storm, Kid Collins, and Dale Wolfe. He also would serve as the first opponent for the re-debut of Crush under his “Kona Crush” persona.
