Human Tornado

His character was that of a 1970s blaxploitation street pimp.

He performed primarily on the California independent circuit, most prominently for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), Empire Wrestling Federation, and Alternative Wrestling Show.

He also performed for Ring of Honor, Combat Zone Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, and the short-lived MTV promotion Wrestling Society X.

Human Tornado is a former two-time PWG World Champion and one-time PWG World Tag Team Champion (with El Generico).

Craig Williams (born May 1, 1983), better known by his ring name, Human Tornado, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler.

Five months after his professional wrestling debut on the Californian independent circuit, Human Tornado made his debut for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla on April 17, 2004, in a tag team match, where he and Supa Badd were defeated by Charles Mercury and Top Gun Talwar.

On August 19, 2005, Tornado won his first Championship with the company, when he and El Generico, the team known collectively as the 2 Skinny Black Guys, defeated Arrogance of Chris Bosh and Scott Lost to win the vacant PWG Tag Team Championship.

Two months later on October 1, Tornado and Generico lost the titles to the team of Super Dragon and Davey Richards.

Afterwards Tornado went on to feud with the PWG World Champion Joey Ryan.

During the feud Tornado defeated the World Champion twice in a row, but both times Ryan was able to walk away with his title, as the first victory came via countout and the second in a non-title match.

In the second match Tornado appeared as El Snowflake, the character he portrayed in the Jack Black movie Nacho Libre.

In early 2006 Tornado took part in the tapings of the first season Wrestling Society X.

The shows were taped in late 2006 and aired on MTV in 2007.

At the tapings Tornado defeated Luke Hawx and was defeated by 6-Pac.

He was also involved in a short feud with Jack Evans, which included a dance-off on WSXtra and a ten-minute time limit draw in the main event of the final episode of WSX.

On October 14, 2006, Tornado made his debut for Combat Zone Wrestling as part of the stable BLKOUT.

Tornado and Ruckus entered the tournament to crown the new CZW World Tag Team Champions, but were defeated in the second round by The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli).

After the match Ruckus and Sabian turned on Tornado and kicked him out of the BLKOUT.

Later in the evening, after Nick Gage suffered an injury, Tornado took his place in the finals of the tournament, teaming up with Justice Pain, but was once again defeated by the Kings of Wrestling.

Finally, on January 13, 2007, Tornado defeated Ryan in a Guerrilla Warfare match to end his thirteen-month reign and win the PWG World Championship.

However, his reign would turn out to be a short one, as just one month later, he lost the Championship to his former tag team partner El Generico.

After the loss of his title Tornado turned heel and after losing a rematch to Generico on April 8, he laid the blame of losing the title on his newly found valet Candice LeRae.

After months of abuse, LeRae finally turned on Tornado on September 1 and cost him his first round match in the 2007 Battle of Los Angeles tournament.

After the match Tornado assaulted LeRae, who was then saved by Chris Hero, which began a long and heated feud between the two wrestlers.

On October 14 Tornado defeated Hero in the first singles match of their feud.

After Tornado and his allies Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston defeated Hero, LeRae and Necro Butcher in a no disqualification six person tag team match on January 5, 2008, Tornado received a one-on-one match against LeRae the following day and defeated her via disqualification when Hero interfered in the match.

After PWG World Champion Low Ki suffered a knee injury, the title was vacated and put up for grabs in a five man tournament.

On February 24, 2008, Tornado defeated first Necro Butcher in the first round and then Roderick Strong and Karl Anderson in a three-way final match to win the PWG World Championship for the second time.

Shortly afterwards Tornado tore his ACL and dislocated his knee, while wrestling for Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and as a result, his in-ring time was significantly reduced during his second World Title run.

After refusing to vacate the title, Tornado was ordered to defend it against the number one contender, Chris Hero, in a steel cage Guerrilla Warfare match on July 6, 2008, at PWG's fifth anniversary show, titled Life During Wartime.

At the event Hero, with the help of LeRae, defeated Tornado to win the World Title, after which Tornado went on to heal his injuries.

Tornado returned to PWG on February 21, 2009, to cash in on his rematch clause against Hero in a three-way match, which also included Colt Cabana.

After being pinned by Hero, Tornado, seemingly turning face, attempted to make peace with him, but got blown off.

Tornado solidified his position as a face in May by re-forming the tag team Dark & Lovely with Scorpio Sky.

The team entered the 2009 Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament, but were defeated in the first round by the team of Kenny Omega and Chuck Taylor.

On July 31 Tornado re-united with another former tag team partner, El Generico, and together the two of them defeated the PWG World Tag Team Champion The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) in a non-title match at PWG's sixth anniversary show.

However, at the following event the 2 Skinny Black Guys' dreams of regaining the Tag Team Championship were crushed as Chuck Taylor defeated El Generico in a number one contender's match.

Tornado entered the 2009 Battle of Los Angeles contested for the vacant PWG World Championship, but was defeated in the quarterfinals of the tournament by Roderick Strong.

On January 30, 2010, Tornado defeated Super Crazy in what would turn out to be his final match for the promotion, as on February 4, he suddenly announced his retirement from professional wrestling on his Facebook page.

On February 27 at As the Worm Turns Tornado gave a retirement speech to the PWG audience.
