Career

After graduating from high school Young began training with veteran wrestler Waldo Von Erich. After training for ten weeks he wrestled his debut match on October 19, 1998 in Benton Harbor, Michigan. After four months, he had wrestled ten matches and was consequently promoted to head trainer.

In January 2004 Young appeared in TNA as a jobber. On May 5 he returned as a member of Team Canada. He took part in the World's X Cup event, defeating Jerry Lynn, Mr. Águila and Taichi Ishikara in a ladder match. Team Canada were a regular feature on TNA iMPACT! throughout mid-2004, feuding with the 3Live Kru.

On the October 15, 2004 episode of IMPACT!, Young and Bobby Roode defeated Christopher Daniels and "Cowboy" James Storm for the NWA World Tag Team Championships. They held the titles until November 7, 2004, when they were defeated by the 3Live Kru (Konnan and B.G. James) at TNA Victory Road, the inaugural monthly TNA pay-per-view. They regained the titles a month later at TNA Turning Point on December 5, defeating B.G. James and Ron Killings (Konnan, the third 3Live Kru member, had been injured).

Young and Roode began feuding with America's Most Wanted in early-2005, and lost the NWA World Tag Team Championships to America's Most Wanted on January 16 at TNA Final Resolution. Young and Roode continued to team for another month, but went their separate ways following a loss to Diamond Dallas Page and "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown on February 13 at TNA Against All Odds. Young began teaming with Team Canada member Petey Williams, and on April 24, 2005 they unsuccessfully challenged America's Most Wanted for the NWA World Tag Team Championships at TNA Lockdown. After defeating Apolo and Sonny Siaki at TNA Hard Justice on May 15, Williams and Young challenged new NWA World Tag Team Champions The Naturals at TNA Slammiversary on June 19. They were defeated after Jimmy Hart assisted The Naturals.

Team Canada began feuding with The Naturals and Lance Hoyt, with Young, Roode and A-1 defeating Hoyt and The Naturals at TNA No Surrender on July 17. America's Most Wanted formed a loose alliance with The Naturals against Team Canada, with Young, Roode, Williams and A-1 defeating The Naturals and America's Most Wanted at TNA Sacrifice on August 14. After Williams renewed his pursuit of the TNA X Division Championship, Young began teaming with A-1 on a regular basis. At TNA Unbreakable on September 11, Roode and A-1 faced America's Most Wanted, Alex Shelley and Johnny Candido and defending champions The Naturals in a four way tag match. Young was able to pin both Candido and "Wildcat" Chris Harris, but Team Canada lost the match after Chase Stevens managed to pin A-1.

At TNA Bound For Glory on October 23, Young, A-1 and Bobby Roode defeated the 3Live Kru. After the match, their attempts to beat down Konnan were foiled by Kip James.
