Better known by the ring name Crimson, Mayweather served five years in the United States Army, which included two tours of Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He made his professional wrestling debut in 2007, working under the ring name Tommy Mercer for various promotions on the independent circuit, including Absolute Intense Wrestling (AIW), NWA Main Event and Showtime All-Star Wrestling (SAW). He runs his own wrestling promotion, Tried-N-True Wrestling, based in Tennessee.

In 2010, he signed with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he was given a 470-day undefeated streak, which lasted until June 2012. Afterwards, he spent time in TNA’s developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he became a one-time OVW Heavyweight Champion and a two-time OVW Southern Tag Team Champion, before being released from his contract in July 2013. He has since made several returns to TNA, most recently in April 2017, using the ring name Mayweather, when the promotion had been renamed Impact Wrestling. His latest bookings include working with the NWA.

Mayweather was arrested in April 2016 following a phone call to police regarding a man headbutting his wife outside of a hotel. Mayweather’s wife was seen bleeding from her face but she told authorities that she was fine and she was injured after a fall.

The police report noted that Mayweather was “very defensive” during police questioning. Mayweather was arrested after a security officer said that he witnessed the headbutt. Mayweather’s wife was also arrested for public intoxication.
