Professional wrestling career

Early career

[edit]

Warner debuted in professional wrestling in 2015, at age 27. He trained under Billy Roc, a former pupil of Dory Funk Jr. and initially wrestled notably for Georgia's Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment and Indiana's SmashMouth Pro Wrestling (SPW).

Independent circuit (2016–2018)

[edit]

The following year, he began touring throughout the Midwest and worked with promotions including Ohio's Rockstar Pro, Indiana's Pro Wrestling King and EMERGE Wrestling, and West Virginia's Vicious Outcast Wrestling. He first gained national notoriety that same year as part of IWA Mid South.[5]

He captured his first major independent championship in 2017 by winning the IWA Mid-South Tag Team Championship with partner Zodiak and soon thereafter began wrestling for promotions such as Absolute Intense Wrestling, Black Label Pro, and Combat Zone Wrestling.[2] Throughout 2018, he competed regularly for CZW and AIW as well as IWA Mid-South (capturing the promotion's tag team titles for a second time) All American Wrestling, Freelance Wrestling and Glory Pro. During this time, he faced wrestlers including Matt Riddle, Michael Elgin and Jimmy Jacobs.[5] At the end of 2018, he recorded the biggest win of his career, defeating Rickey Shane Page for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship at CZW Cage of Death XX.
