Bradley "Brad" Cain (born September 8, 1970) is an American professional wrestler, author and personal trainer, better known by his ring name, Lodi. Cain is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling between 1997 and 2000, where he was a member of Raven's Flock stable and the tag team The West Hollywood Blondes.
After graduating from Eastern Randolph High School, Cain attended East Carolina University in 1988, and graduated with a degree in political science in 1993. During his time in college, Cain was both a member of the United States Army Reserve, serving as an operating room specialist, and a bodybuilder.
In 1997, Cain trained as a wrestler under Extreme Championship Wrestling alumnus C.W. Anderson. He debuted later that year, and began wrestling on the independent circuit either as a singles competitor or with his roommate Curtis White, who competed under the ring name Toad, as the tag team Dangerous Minds.
After being signed by World Championship Wrestling, Cain began training in their Power Plant wrestling school. Prior to debuting on television, he was forced to adopt a new ring name due to his Razen Cain ring name being seen as too similar to the name of another wrestler from the World Wrestling Federation, then WCW's main rival. The name was also turned down due to it being used by an independent wrestler, despite the fact that Cain wrestled under it prior to the wrestler who adopted it began using it. Another proposed ring name, Skank, was also turned down due to an independent wrestler having used it for two years.
