Phil Theis is an American former professional wrestler.
Theis began his career on the independent circuit as Mondo Kleen before moving to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Though his run in the WWF, where he was given the ring name Damien Demento, was relatively short-lived and has been regarded by later fans as easily forgettable,[2] he does have the distinction of having wrestled the first main event of the companies long lived Monday Night Raw program—a loss to the Undertaker.[3] He eventually left the WWF, and after a short stint on the East Coast independent circuit, left the wrestling business altogether.
Now retired from professional wrestling, Theis currently hosts a works in construction as many times stated in his Youtube videos in Long Island, New York.[citation needed] He's also made a name for himself on the website YouTube, where he initially posted videos of his artwork and poetry,[1] but eventually removed those in favor of cutting heated promos covering subjects such as Vince McMahon, Internet trolls, and the use of steroids. Theis stated early on that the videos are meant to be in-character and not reflective of the person he actually is.[citation needed] He started fighting alot of profanity and then decided to close his account blaming trolls. And ya know what he needs to get back into his videos and fight fight fight these trolls off just like the Undertaker.
