Career
Mordetsky was Mr. California Bodybuilding Champion.
Mordetsky began his wrestling training in Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) before being given a WWE development contract to train in WWE's farm territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
When Mordetsky was finally called up to the main roster WWE showed promo style introductory videos outlining him as The Masterpiece — touting him as having a body so perfect, it would appear he was sculpted out of stone.
"The Masterpiece" Chris Masters (as he was now known) made his RAW debut as a heel against WWE's star Jobber, Steven Richards. During the match, Masters broke Richards' nose (orbital bone). Richards was out of action after having facial reconstructive surgery, but returned to end the feud with Masters, losing a second match.
Masters' next main show appearance saw him claim that his Master-Lock hold is unbreakable, and he even went as far as to put up $1,000 of his own money for the person who can break out of the hold. So far, all challengers have failed, among them such notables as Sgt. Slaughter, Tajiri, Val Venis, and Rosey. Masters has increased the offered reward each week, and sometimes has thrown in a bonus. For example, on May 16, 2005 while in Omaha, he offered $6,000 and a one-way ticket to anywhere in the US. He then suggested that "Anywhere is better than Omaha, Nebraska." Currently the prize money stands at $20,000.
Chris Masters begun again competing in standard wrestling matches against such stars as Val Venis and Tajiri, beating all with his Masterlock.
On July 18, 2005 after defeating 400 pounder Rosey in the Masterlock Challenge, Masters stated "it doesn't matter how big they are!", this saw The Big Show come to the ring and ask to take the challenge, but Masters refused and left the ring. A feud between the two was hinted at for a couple of weeks but never came to be.
Masters was next seen in the RAW ring with WWE icon Shawn Michaels interrupting a promo by Michaels. This encounter led to Michaels taking part in a Masterlock Challerge on the August 29th. However, that week, Shawn Michaels was a guest on Carlito Caribbean Cool's Carlito's Cabana and was attacked by Masters and Carlito. Ric Flair then ran in and helped Michaels clear the ring. Eric Bischoff then booked a tag team match between Masters/Carlito and Michaels/Flair. Later in the night, Flair was found beaten and bloodied with the assailants nowhere to be found. Michaels fought both Carlito and Masters until a bandaged up Flair returned. Flair had the upperhand until Carlito used a low blow (a Flair speciality) on him and Masters then locked up Flair in his Master Lock to claim his biggest victory yet. Michaels is now scheduled to take The Master Lock Challenge on September 5, 2005.
On the September 5, 2005 edition of RAW, while unsuccessful in breaking the Master Lock, Shawn Michaels did set a new record as he became the longest-lasting competitor to take the Master Lock Challenge so far. Michaels tried everything from ramming Masters' head into the turnbuckle to flipping him on his back, but Masters was able to keep the Master Lock applied. In an act of desperation, Shawn Michaels used a mule kick to deliver a low blow. When his hands seemed to separate, Masters threw HBK down to the mat, grabbed a steel chair and used it to hit Shawn Michaels in the head. Masters then reapplied the hold and HBK was unable to break free.
