Heath Slater
Professional Wrestler with WWE
Fueled by a mouth that never stops running and arrogance as scorching as the shock of red hair on his head, Heath Slater certainly lives up to his self-imposed moniker, “The One-Man Band.”
Hailing from West Virginia, Slater first exploded onto the WWE scene as a rookie on WWE NXT’s inaugural season. Right out of the gate, Slater made an impact, defeating Carlito and becoming the first-ever NXT Rookie to defeat a WWE Pro in a singles match. From there, he teamed up with The Nexus, joining Wade Barrett in his hostile takeover of WWE. After CM Punk staged a coup and emerged as the new leader of The Nexus, Slater walked away from the group and helped form the splinter faction, The Corre. As the black and yellow arm-banded group had on Raw, The Corre set about on a mission of domination on SmackDown, targeting Superstars like Edge, Big Show and Kane.
Slater was a key member of the collective and won the WWE Tag Team Championship with Justin Gabriel. At WrestleMania XXVII, The Corre came up short against Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella and Kofi Kingston, which led to the group’s ultimate dissolution.
Following the crumbling of The Corre, Slater rocked forth, trying to make an impact as a singles star. The only thing standing in his way? A long line of WWE Legends, including Vader, Diamond Dallas Page and Bob Backlund, who have put a damper on Heath's good time.
As The One-Man Band attempted to recover from devastating losses to a host of Legends, Slater formed a band of other underachievers including Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre. In the autumn of 2012, the three reminded the WWE Universe that they intend to achieve great success and the motley crew identified themselves as 3MB. Early in their teaming, the trio took a Nashville, Tenn., open mic night by storm. Since then, Slater, McIntyre and Mahal have faced off with WWE's tag team ranks in pairs while the third member plays a dastardly backup solo at ringside.
In June 2014, Slater became a solo act once more, insisting on making a name for himself by forcing opponents to sing the blues.
