Early Career
World Internet Wrestling
In a time when Chris Storm was the center piece of the WIW, he had a stable of faces chancing his World title. To counter the number of wrestlers gunning for him, Chris Storm brought in his bodyguard to help protect him. Arizona was used as a body to give Storm enough time to get away from conflicts while Arizona took punishment. He originally did not wrestle with the company, sticking to just being a bodyguard and traveling with Chris Storm. His pay and travel expenses were covered by Chris Storm, dating to Jason Chae being unwilling to provide Chris Storm with the protect he felt he deserved. When WIW closed, Arizona had never wrestled an actual match and did not get brought into Primetime Championship Wrestling with Chris Storm.
Rush Pro Wrestling
It wasn't until Chris Storm entered Rush Pro Wrestling that Arizona returned. This time his role was changed from a bodyguard to a coach-style manager with a whistle. He had been featured very limitedly on the shows because of a low appeal with the crowds and eventually phased out. Because of insurance reasons, Arizona was paid by management in RPW, thus under their creative control. Despite working in several small promotions, Arizona again did not wrestle in any matches with RPW.
