Ian Prindible (born June 22, 1976) is a Canadian professional wrestler. He was one half of the tag team known as the Texas Hell-Razors as Tyrant Eric Dawson with the Outlaw Scott Chase. The team was managed for over a year by TNA wrestling knockout Angelina Love, who was known at the time as Angel Williams. They also had a two-year feud with former WWE tag team the Highlanders on the Independent wrestling circuit all over the U.S. and Canada before Robbie and Rory went to the WWE.
In 1996 Dawson was working out at a local gym in Peterborough when he was introduced to Sean Morley (who later became Val Venis in WWE). At the time, Morley was in a tag team called the Canadian Glamor Boys with Shane Sewell. The team had made a name for itself in Puerto Rico. Dawson asked Morley about training and breaking into wrestling. Dawson was given a phone number to contact Jason Stirling, who was the son of the Missing Link Dewey Robertson. Dawson called the number and never got a response. Then he found out about a wrestling school in the Hamilton, Ontario area that was run by Leighton Morrison. Morrison claimed to have been trained by Dewey Robertson. Dawson went there and trained for a few weeks then Morrison told him it was gonna be $5,000 to keep on training at his school. In 1997 Dawson ran into Shane Sewell at the gym and told him about his Morrison experience. Sewell told him he had taken a break from wrestling and was needing to get back into ring shape and that someone else at the gym had asked him about training as well. Sewell then explained that he would be willing to help him and this other person start their training if he could find a place with a ring. Sewell found a place in Burlington, Ontario known as the RWA wrestling school/promotion. Sewell, Dawson and the other person (which turned out to be Bobby Roode) went to the RWA school 2–3 times a week. Dawson had his first match for RWA under the name the Mercenary in London Ontario against Robin Knightwing from the tag team known as the All knighters. He was then put into a tag team called the Mayham Patrol as the Mercenary which was a military gimmick. After a few months Dawson went to the RWA promoter and told him he wanted out of the military gimmick and had his own idea for a new name and image. Dawson then became the Tyrant Eric Dawson and embarked on a singles career wrestling for many independent wrestling promotions all over Canada and the U.S. At this point Dawson wrestled mostly singles matches as a bad guy(heel) and was put together with other singles wrestlers for the odd tag match. Which led to a feud with JQ Publik who was at the time one of the best good guys (baby face) in the Ontario indy wrestling circuit. In 1999 he became one half of the Texas Hell-Razors. In 2002 Dawson became the first ever GLCW champion in Hamilton Ontario after the new promotion held a title tournament, two months later he lost the title to Flexx Falcone.
