Bloodaxe's identity was initially a mystery; all early panels of the character's alter ego were depicted as being concealed by shadow or as a silhouette. Due to the sheer muscular mass of Bloodaxe (a direct result of the Asgardian magic within the axe), it was also impossible to determine whether the mortal alias was even male or female. Many supporting cast members of Thunderstrike were hinted at being Bloodaxe but many of those clues would later turn out to be red herrings to conceal 'his' true identity. It was only after Bloodaxe was defeated that the mortal alias was revealed to be Jackie Lukus, a confidant and love interest of Thunderstrike's alias Eric Masterson.

In 2004, IWF closed down due to a new Port Elizabeth-based promotion, World Wrestling Professionals, securing a major national television deal with SABC2 and hiring wrestlers from all over the country, including Tornado who had close ties to the promoter of WWP, Mark Beale. Around this period Tornado was still operating the IWF training camp and he tutored many of this generation's top professional wrestlers in South Africa. Tornado captured the WWP World Heavyweight Title in 2005 on the first episode of WWP Thunderstrike. He defeated the Van Der Westhuizen brothers in a handicap match a few weeks later to win the WWP World Tag Team Titles before losing it again to the same tag team.

World Wrestling Professionals was formed in 1990 in the Eastern Cape city of Nelson Mandela Bay and re-branded to Champions Pro Wrestling in May 2019, It has hosted a number of local shows all year round, and slowly grew to become the number one wrestling federation in South Africa. It was formed by former professional wrestler Mark Beale, with the goal of taking South African wrestling to another level. In 2004, after years of hard work on the road in the hope of getting the product noticed, his idea for a wrestling show was picked up by the South African Broadcasting Corporation, and was given a national contract by SABC2. The show, called WWP Thunderstrike, ran for a number of years on the channel, and was eventually put on hold due to in-house politics.
