He made his WCW debut as part of the construction worker tag team "Men at Work" with Mark Starr. However, the partnership ended in 1997 and Kenyon began wrestling under the name "Mortis" and several other aliases. Kenyon dueled as a solo wrestler and as a part of teams before his contract was released in 2004. Kenyon alleged his career was ended by wrestling officials because he was gay.
Death
On April 2, 2010, Kanyon was found dead in his Sunnyside, Queens, New York apartment. Kenyon's death was ruled a suicide by overdose of medication.
"I last saw Chris at Wrestlemania in 2004. I may have seen him once since then. He looked good, but talked about packing it in, calling it a career. I never knew of his struggles; the bipolar disorder, the pressure of keeping his sexuality secret for so many years," pro-wrestler Mick Foley wrote on his MySpace.
