Acting
Nate Kehner was an American professional wrestler known for his tenure in the Philadelphia-based hardcore wrestling promotion Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) from 2000 to 2009. He was a member of the legendary H8 Club alongside Nick Gage. Kehner made his debut in the late 90s with several underground indie promotions, including Philadelphia’s World Wide Wrestling Alliance (WWWA). During his career, he won the CZW Iron Man Championship and the CZW World Tag Team titles on three occasions, engaging in memorable feuds with other wrestling teams like the Briscoe Brothers, BLKOUT, and The Best Around. His impact extended beyond the ring, as he helped nurture young wrestlers, including WWE Superstar Drew Gulak, who paid tribute to his fallen mentor by writing “HATRED” on his wraps during a Monday Night RAW appearance. Nate Hatred’s legacy lives on in the hearts of fans and fellow wrestlers alike, remembering him not only as an early legend of the American hardcore scene but also as a caring mentor to newcomers in the sport.
