Nick Cvjetkovich

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2000–2007) Cvjetkovich was trained as a wrestler by Rob Fuego and Ron Hutchison in Orangeville, Ontario and also trained for (and later earned) his black belt at Alex Atkinson's Black Belt Institute. He then joined a stable called The Disciples of the New Church, led by Father James Mitchell. The group engaged in a long running feud in 2003 against Raven and his "Gathering", with the teams participating in many hardcore matches between them. In a Dog Collar match on September 24, The New Church lost to The Gathering, but hung the members of The Gathering from the ceiling with chains afterwards. Sinn's final appearance for TNA was in March 2004, with a loss in a tag team tournament with his tag team partner Slash to the team of Kid Kash and Dallas. Cvjetkovich returned for two more appearances with TNA in late 2005 teaming with Helvis (Elvis Elliot) as "The Beasts of Burden". Debuting for WWE's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling in December 2006, Cvjetkovich wrestled a number of matches which continued into the summer of 2007, at the suggestion of Al Snow, in hopes of earning a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. He later described his character as being as "if Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Doink produced a lovechild." He also competed in dark matches before SmackDown tapings, defeating Ryan Braddock and Curt Hawkins. Kizarny made his in-ring televised WWE debut on the January 2, 2009 episode of SmackDown, defeating Montel Vontavious Porter. Kizarny later reappeared in an Elimination Chamber qualifying battle royal but was eliminated early in the match. In his last appearance on WWE TV, Kizarny appeared in a backstage segment involving Vickie Guerrero and Edge on the February 20, 2009, episode of SmackDown.

On March 9, 2009, Kizarny was released by WWE.

Return to the independent circuit (2009–present) Cvjetkovich made an appearance for the World Wrestling Council after his release from WWE Sinn would compete in Florida Underground Wrestling, while there Sinn would take on FUW's best talents, such as NVUS (Dakota Darsow & Kennedy Kendrick), Eddie Taurus, and 666lbs Tweedle Die, who Sinn mentored and defeated. Starting on June 18, Cvjetkovich was part of the Jim Rose Circus vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts tour, which featured sideshow circus acts competing with professional wrestling in a battle to top one another. In April 2013, he won the 55 man casino battle royal at Vendetta Pro Wrestling.

Chikara (2010–2011, 2013–2020)

On November 21, 2010, Cvjetkovich made his debut for Chikara, appearing during a match between UltraMantis Black and Ares, summoning UltraMantis' allies Obariyon and Kodama away from the ring as they were trying to help their leader in his battle against not only Ares, but also his BDK stable mate Tursas. Cvjetkovich worked the appearance under a cloak and never revealed his true identity. During his second appearance at Chikara's season nine finale Reality is Relative on December 12, 2010, Cvjetkovich revealed his identity as Sinn Bodhi and demanded that UltraMantis Black hand him the Eye of Tyr. When UltraMantis was unable to produce the artifact, Bodhi led Obariyon, Kodama and a third masked man, who was later named Kobald, into an attack on UltraMantis, who was then saved by Hallowicked and Frightmare. UltraMantis later revealed that he had asked for Bodhi's help in training Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald for his battle against BDK, but never agreed to give him the Eye of Tyr. On January 23, 2011, at the season ten premiere, Bodhi wrestled his first Chikara match, losing to UltraMantis Black via disqualification, following interference from Kodama and Obariyon. On March 13 Bodhi defeated UltraMantis in a rematch. On April 15, Bodhi, Kodama and Obariyon entered the 2011 King of Trios, but were eliminated from the tournament in the first round by The Colony (Fire Ant, Green Ant and Soldier Ant). Bodhi was also involved in controversy at KOT due to comments he made during the pre-show which some took to be related to the recent death of Larry Sweeney. Bodhi later apologized for the promo. On September 18, Bodhi and his Dark Army (Kobald, Kodama and Obariyon) faced UltraMantis Black and his Spectral Envoy (Crossbones, Frightmare and Hallowicked) in an eight-man tag team match, which ended with UltraMantis pinning Bodhi for the win. Bodhi's feud with UltraMantis Black came to an end at the High Noon pay-per-view, where UltraMantis handed him the Eye of Tyr (which was later revealed to be a fake replica) and resulted in Bodhi proclaiming that he was now done with Chikara.

In the wake of Chikara's destruction at Aniversario: Never Compromise, Sinn Bohdi and the Odditorium returned to destroy satellite promotion Wrestling is Art His group later joined with the Flood, an army of former Chikara rudos, to crush Chikara's final remnants at National Pro Wrestling Day 2014, only to be fought off. The Odditorium fought against the Batiri in the return Chikara event, You Only Live Twice where they lost via disqualification from a blatant low blow. They later were part of another Chikara vs. Flood brawl after the final match, which saw Kobold (kayfabe) killed. In June 2020, Chikara closed.
