Early life

Professional wrestling career Independent circuit (1999-present) Trosky became interested in professional wrestling at an early age when he and his brother were taken to see a World Wrestling Federation show at the local Catholic Youth Center in Scranton. Learning amateur wrestling in elementary school, he eventually had a successful career in high school winning district championships in folk style and placements in state tournaments for Greco-Roman freestyle wrestling. He also took second place at the Keystone State Games. Trosky was offered athletic scholarships to Wilkes University and King's College among others. After deciding to attend Wilkes, his scholarship was withdrawn a week before the semester as he had been competing professionally in violation of NCAA regulations. He eventually attended Bloomsburg University graduating with a degree in mass communications in 2003 and later received a master's degree in interactive instructional technology.

He and a friend, Garrett Orban, began competing in "backyard wrestling" as teenagers with Trosky using the name "The Comet Warrior". Trosky, along with Orban and Brian Dorshefski, also set up rings for Extreme Championship Wrestling and other local promotions, in part to Orban's friendship with local wrestling promoter Dan Kowal. Kowal, founder of GLOW, Women's Extreme Wrestling and The Wrestling Zone, later expressed interest in booking him and his friends after seeing one of their tapes in November 1998. They were originally supposed to appear in Kowal's WWWA promotion in February 1999, however several show cancellations pushed back his debut for several months. On May 22, 1999, Trosky had his first professional wrestling match against Garrett Dominance (Garrett Orban) in Malvern, Pennsylvania.

A few months later, he and another friend, Brian Dorshefski, traveled to Tennessee and Kentucky where he began his initial training with Mike Promo where he learned ring psychology and southern style wrestling. After two weeks, he returned to Pennsylvania and eventually started training at the Wild Samoan Pro Wrestling Training Center in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. As well as Afa and Sal Bellomo, other wrestlers involved in his training included Samula Anoa'i and former graduates Jake Molsonn and Tommy Suede. Trosky also entered the 2002 J-Cup Tournament losing to American Dragon in the opening rounds in Lodi, New Jersey on June 15, 2002.

On February 2, 2008, Trosky challenged Judas Young for the NWA Pro Television Championship at the Knights of Columbus in Lodi, New Jersey. Awarded the Xero World Championship, he defended the title against Julio Dinero at Frontline: Countdown to Xtinction at the Abderdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen, Maryland on February 23. In December, he defended the WAW American title in a champion vs. champion match against WAW Heavyweight Champion Genesis at NWA WAW's Full Force at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. WAW Cruiserweight Champion The Dynamic Sensation, the kayfabe younger brother of Trosky, was banned from ringside by officials as one of the stipulations for the match.

World Xtreme Wrestling During this time, he made his debut for Afa Anoa'i's World Xtreme Wrestling promotion twice winning the WXW Cruiserweight Championship as well as the WXW Tag Team titles with Tommy Suede. In February 2001, Trosky was made head trainer of the school under Anoa'i himself. While in the promotion, he also appeared on its Yokozuna Memorial Show which starred wrestlers from ECW and the WWF as well as its first international tour appearing at US Army military bases in Japan, Korea, Guam, Okinawa and Hawaii.

WWE Tough Enough Trosky also tried out for the first season of Tough Enough and was one of the 200 selected but failed to make the final cut. Trosky has since criticized MTV's creative control to resemble a reality television styled show similar to Real World or Road Rules rather than a more realistic training program. WXW Tag Team Championship (2 times) - with Tommy Suede and TDS (The Dynamic Sensation) Xero Championship Entertainment Xero World Championship (1 time) Pro Wrestling Illustrated PWI ranked him # 408 of the 500 best singles wrestlers of the PWI 500 in 2005.
