Nick Cvjetkovich (born August 29, 1973 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian professional wrestler of British and Serbian descent, better known as The Original Sinn, or simply Sinn.

Career

Cvjetkovich was trained as a wrestler by El Fuego and Ron Hutchison in Orangeville, Ontario. His debut match was in 2000 against El Fuego during the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation Iron Man Tournament at the Canadian National Exhibition. He remained with the AWF until February 2001, when he travelled to Memphis, Tennessee to work for Memphis Championship Wrestling and Power Pro Wrestling. He soon returned to AWF, and began working for the Insane Wrestling Federation in Detroit. He also worked several dates for Scott D'Amore's Border City Wrestling promotion in Windsor, Ontario, using the name Lucifer Love (as AWF employees were not allowed to work for regional competitors, Cvjetkovich used a different ring name and gimmick so he would not be found out). At this time, Cvjetkovich regularly teamed with Flesh Gordon as Sins Of The Flesh.

In May and June 2001 Cvjetkovich toured England with Brian Dixon's All Star Wrestling promotion, where he teamed with fellow Canadian Joe E. Legend. Shortly after returning from England, Cvjetkovich began working for Northern Championship Wrestling in Montreal. He returned to the AWF in late 2001 and once again participated in the Iron Man Tournament, before forming a tag team with Fabian Stokes known as High Maintenance.

On August 13, 2003 Cvjetkovich debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. The following week he formed a tag team with Slash, replacing the absent Brian Lee as Slash's partner. Slash and Cvjetkovich were part of the Disciples of the New Church stable along with Shane Douglas and Father James Mitchell. They were drawn into Douglas' feud with Raven and Raven's allies, The Gathering. On September 24 the New Church were defeated by Raven and The Gathering in a dog collar match, and on October 8 Cvjetkovich lost to Raven in a singles match.

In late 2003 Cvjetkovich appeared with NWA Bluegrass in Kentucky. On December 13 in Paintsville he defeated Chance Prophet for the NWA Bluegrass Heavyweight Championship. He also worked for the Independent Wrestling Revolution promotion, and at Fallout 2003 in Warren, MI on September 27 he and his partner "The Dark Omen" Elvis Elliot won the IWR Tag Team Championships in a three-way tag team match. Cvjetkovich and Elliot were stripped of the titles within a month.

Cvjetkovich and Slash left TNA, returning for two weeks in March 2004 to participate in a tournament for the vacant NWA World Tag Team Championships. They defeated Glen Gilberti and David Young in the first round, but were eliminated by Kid Kash and Dallas in the next round, and subsequently disappeared once more.

In late 2004, Cvjetkovich wrestled a number of dark matches for World Wrestling Entertainment. In 2005, he began promoting, staging an event called Pro Wrestling LIVE! on June 26 at the Oshawa, Ontario civic centre. In the main event, Cvjetkovich and his partner Elvis Ozbourne were defeated by Team Canada (Petey Williams and Bobby Roode).

In November 2005, Sinn returned to TNA Wrestling, partnering with Helvis as The Beasts of Burden.

Cvjetkovich's younger brother Steve is also involved in wrestling, operating the Squared Circle Wrestling Gym in Toronto.
