Jeremy Fritz[1][2] (born December 15, 1979), known by his ring name Eric Young, is a Canadian professional wrestler, currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He is also known for his tenure in WWE, where he served as the leader of the Sanity stable.

Fritz made his debut in TNA in 2004. During his time with the promotion he has won 14 championships, being a two-time World Champion, a one-time X Division Champion, a three-time Legends/Global/Television/King of the Mountain Champion and a seven-time World Tag Team Champion, being a two-time NWA World Tag Team Champion with Bobby Roode, and a four-time TNA/Impact World Tag Team Champion once with Kaz, once as a member of The Band with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall (under the Freebird Rule), and twice as a member of Violent By Design with Deaner and Joe Doering (again under the Freebird Rule). He is also the only male to hold the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, winning the title with ODB.

Fritz left TNA (then called Impact Wrestling) in 2016 and signed with WWE, where he was assigned to NXT and won the NXT Tag Team Champion as a part of Sanity. He moved up to the main roster in 2019, and was released in 2020. He returned to Impact in July of that same year and between late 2020 and early 2021, formed Violent By Design (VBD), which was ultimately renamed "The Design" when Fritz left Impact for the second time in 2022. He returned to Impact for the second time in 2023, which ultimately reverted to the TNA name.
