Rodney Kellman (born September 24, 1974), better known by his ring names Dru Onyx and Soa Amin, is a Canadian professional wrestler. He has wrestled the majority of his career in Canada for the National Wrestling Alliance, and Northern Championship Wrestling . He has also wrestled in Europe and the United States, he is the Victory Ring champion.
Kellman was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, but when he was still young, his family moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Six years later, they relocated to Chomedey Laval where, as a teen, he played both baseball and football. Kellman played football for the John Abbott Islanders and the University of Ottawa Gee Gees. He also played Semi Pro for the Montreal Condors, Plattsburg North Stars, and Lake City Stars. He then worked as a security for the Saudi Arabian Embassy Consulate Section in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Kellman started his professional wrestling career in February 1999 as a graduate of the Northern Championship Wrestling’s school. He was trained under the guidance of Marc Pilon. He debuted six months later against Pilon for the NCW Quebec Heavyweight Championship. In the fall, wrestling was put on hold to go play university football for the Ottawa Gee Gees. In 2002, he came back to the Montreal wrestling scene for Paul Leduc’s Federation Lutte Québécoise.
He then joined Internet Wrestling Syndicate (IWS) where he feuded with the Green Phantom over the IWS version of the World Heavyweight Championship for almost half a year. Upon winning the title on March 15, 2003 in his hometown of Laval Quebec, he defended the title five months before losing the title to Arsenal in a ladder match.
Onyx returned to the IWS on June 3, 2005 to team up with his nemesis Green Phantom to battle Pierre Carl Ouellet and Sabu in what was Sabu’s last indie appearance before going to World Wrestling Entertainment.
