Biography

is a Canadian retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and Catch Wrestling Association (CWA) under the ring name Rambo and with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring name Sniper.Rambo was pushed as the top star of CWA after the departure of the promotion's owner Otto Wanz and became a major main event star. He headlined the company's flagship event Euro Catch Festival twelve times between 1991 and 1999, with his each match for the CWA World Heavyweight Championship. In 1996, Poirier joined the United States Wrestling Association as "Sniper". Along with Kurrgan the Interrogator, Recon, and Tank, Poirier formed a stable known as The Truth Commission. The Truth Commission was billed as being a group of South African white separatist guerrillas, with their name a reference to the Truth and In 1997, The Truth Commission joined the World Wrestling Federation, where they were initially managed by The Commandant. Tank and The Commandant soon left the WWF, and The Commandant was replaced by The Jackyl. Kurrgan went on to compete as a singles wrestler, while Poirier and Recon wrestled as a tag team. At the 1997 Survivor Series in his birth place in Montreal on November 9, 1997, the four remaining members of The Truth Commission defeated the Disciples of Apocalypse in an eight-man elimination match; Kurrgan was the sole survivor. The stable fragmented after The Jackyl instructed Kurrgan to attack Poirier and Recon after they lost a series of matches. Poirier and Recon took part in a fifteen team tag team battle royal at WrestleMania XIV on March 29, 1998 for the number one contendership to the WWF World Tag Team Championship, but were eliminated by Kurrgan, who interfered in the match. Poirier and Recon briefly feuded with Kurrgan and The Jackyl under the name Armageddon before leaving the WWF and returned to CWA.


Return to CWA (1998–1999)


Poirier returned to compete in the Canadian independent circuit and Germany after his departure from the WWF in 1998. He made his return to Catch Wrestling Association at the 1998 Euro Catch Festival, where he defeated Big Titan to win the vacant CWA World Heavyweight Championship, tying Otto Wanz for most reigns with four. He successfully defended the title against former Truth Commission teammate Goliath Kurrgan at the 1999 Euro Catch Festival, which would turn out to be CWA's final event as the promotion closed after the event and Poirier became the final CWA World Heavyweight Champion. He retired from professional wrestling after the closure of CWA.


Personal life


Poirier now lives in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He is retired from wrestling and works as a registered nurse at Mease Dunedin Hospital on the telemetry and stroke floor. Poirier got married to Francia Poirier on June 30, 2013.


In November 2010, he and British wrestler Dan Collins put on a wrestling show for European Wrestling Promotion in Germany, which led to Rambo's return to the ring in April 2011. Poirier was also inducted to the European Wrestling Hall of Fame.
