Career

Holly made his wrestling debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling, as the Damaja. On January 6, he and David C. were awarded the OVW Tag Title when Nick Dinsmore no-showed and Rob Conway was counted out. He was also a three-time OVW Champion, defeating the likes of Dinsmore, Flash Flanagan, and Nova.

In 2003 he was given the managerial services of Tough Enough II winner Jackie Gayda, and then on May 29, made his WWE television debut (as Danny Basham), teaming with Doug Basham to form the heel tag-team, the Basham Brothers. The Bashams (as they were commonly known) were later aligned with the valet, Shaniqua. As well as being portrayed with a bondage-based S&M gimmick, the "brothers" often switched places mid-match, so the "fresher" wrestler was always in the ring. In almost all cases the referee acted oblivious to the switch, despite their easily differentiated faces.

In November 2004, the Basham Brothers joined John 'Bradshaw' Layfield's stable, The Cabinet, as "Co-Secretaries of Defense". Their role was often to sacrifice themselves to prevent Layfield from getting harmed after he had provoked an opponent. However, the Basham Brothers quit Layfield's Cabinet on the June 16, 2005 episode of SmackDown!, claiming that they were tired of being "JBL's crash test dummies".

On June 30, 2005, Basham became one of the last-minute trades in the 2005 WWE Draft, which saw him leave SmackDown! for RAW. This marked the end of the partnership with his "twin brother," who remained on SmackDown!

Holly has been working dark matches during RAW tapings as his old character, The Damaja.

He debuted on Heat during the summer and had his his first and only televised match with a new character similar to that of Scott Levy's "Raven" character which Levy is currently using in TNA Wrestling. It is unknown why Basham has not appeared on RAW or even Heat which is now being shown on wwe.com. There are no reports of him being injured, released, or sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling or Deep South Wrestling.
