David Tyler Cash (born July 31, 1969) better known by his ring name Kid Kash, is an American mixed martial artist and retired professional wrestler, best known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).
He is the second wrestler in history to have ever won both the TNA X Division Championship and WWE Cruiserweight Championship with the others being Sean Waltman and T.J. Perkins.
Kash's father was a boxer and Kash began training by the age of seven years. He went on to become a professional fighter and worked in Japan. Cash met up with Ricky Morton during his travels, and took Cash on the road with him and continued his training. Working as a welder by day, Cash wrestled on the independent circuit. Under the name David Tyler Morton Jericho he formed a short lived tag team with Ricky Morton.
Cash's first mainstream exposure came in late November 1996 with ECW. Cash, then wrestling as David Tyler Morton Jericho, went to Philadelphia with friend and sometimes tag team partner "Heavy Metal" Ric Savage. Cash was friends with New Jack of the Gangstas and Rob Van Dam, and it was Rob Van Dam who first introduced Cash to Paul Heyman. Cash shortly left ECW back to the indies and even wrestled house shows for WWF. He also appeared once at TV tapings, using ring name David Jericho, on April 28, 1998 at WWF Shotgun Saturday Night where he was defeated by Taka Michinoku. During a WWF house show against the tag team Too Cool, Cash broke both of his ankles after performing a botched hurricanrana on Scotty 2 Hotty.
