One day while training at the gym Kowboy met Edge, Christian, and Glen Kulka who were touring at the time in the indies. He told them he was always curious about wrestling and they encouraged him to give it a try. Kulka told him to get a hold of Emile Dupre to see if he would train him. He started training for wrestling in 1998 in Shediac, New Brunswick. He was trained by a variety of people with Emile Dupre overseeing all the training. Handsome Hubert Gallant was very instrumental in his training. The language barrier between Kowboy's english and the others' french made training hard at first. Huberts english was very good and made classes with him a little easier. Rene Dupre was also traning at the time as well as Kingman [Hercules] to stay in shape. It was here that the Kingman and him became close friends. They would form the Kardinal Sinners two years later. He wrestled a full year for Grand Prix Wrestling, and then traveled to the states to work for EWA. After a brief stint there he returned to the Maritimes to work for RAW. He won the Heavyweight belt on the last night of the 1999 tour and then successfully defended it on the 2000 tour. Kowboy continued to work for Real Action Wrestling up until May of 2002, when he had a brief stint with All Canadian Pro Wrestling. However Kowboy would re-join the RAW roster until it's last show, on July 29th, 2002. He worked a few more shows for ACW that summer. The following winter he competed in a few shows by the short lived Ultimate Championship Wrestling, and a televised tryout match for the WWE, before heading overseas to work with All Star Wrestling in Europe. He returned to the Maritimes in July, worked some shows with ECPW over the summer, and competed in the Maritime Cup in October of 2003, wrestling Bobby Rude in the finals of the tournement. Next Kowboy plans to focus on his training school, which has been providing top notch training in the Maritimes for 3 years. His plans following that are to head back overseas and see what's in store for him there.
