Professional wrestling In 2011, Aerts began competing as a professional wrestler in the Inoki Genome Federation. He debuted on August 27, 2011, against Shinichi Suzukawa at IGF: Super Stars Festival '11 and won by brutalizing his opponent until the referee stopped the match. He then knocked out Hideki Suzuki at IGF 17 on September 3, 2011. In his third match, Aerts teamed up with Bobby Lashley to face Kazuyuki Fujita and Kendo Kashin in a tag team match at Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye 2011 on December 2, 2011. The match ended when Lashley held Fujita by the arms and let Aerts deliver one of his famous kicks to his head, knocking him out. A rematch between Aerts and Fujita then took place at Fight For Japan: Genki Desu Ka Omisoka 2011 on December 31, 2011. Fujita was able to take his revenge, submitting Aerts with a Boston crab which looked like it may have legitimately hurt him.
