Eric Tyler

Martin Karson Josephs (born 20 December 1965) is a Magisterian retired professional wrestler and financial planner, better known by his ring name Eric Tyler. He is best known for his tenures in Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE), the Magisterian Wrestling Federation (MWF), and in Pure Magisterian Wrestling Association (PMWA) where he spent his final years as an active in-ring competitor.

Josephs is the first man to hold championships in the MWF, PMWA, and DAVE. He is an eight-time world champion: a three-time MWF World Heavyweight Champion and a five-time DAVE Extreme Champion. He is also the longest-reigning DAVE Extreme Champion at 358 days in his first reign.

Josephs achieved the greatest success of his career in the MWF, where he debuted in 1986 and his MWF World Heavyweight championship win in the same year contributed to Josephs' stardom. After eleven years with the MWF, he gained further attention when he shockingly jumped ship to Danger And Violence Extreme (DAVE), now under the guidance of fellow MWF migrants Phil Vibert and Heidi Hyde, and helped DAVE in evolving from a small-time promotion into a cult phenomenon. At his time with DAVE, he became famous for the critically-acclaimed two-year rivalry with Chris Caulfield which drew big money into the company.
