Before The OUW
Before entering The OUW,Devon Poole was trained to wrestle at the Santos Family's Wrestling Gym in Philidelphia,PA,and "The Asylum" in Manhattan,NY from age 13.After 5 years of Training,With his Submission Wrestling experience & standing in at 6'5,weighing in at a masculine 260lbs,he hoped to be an Mixed Martial Artist.At the Age of 17,just a few days before his 18th birthday,Poole fought in his first MMA Fight,which resulted in a Submission victory.He fought later on a day after his 18th birthday,a KO win.He seemed to be on the fast track to MMA success,but Poole wanted to be a Wrestler that much more.Poole was signed to and Wrestled in A Major Wrestling Promotion Based in Conneticut in June of 1998,winning many Championships while in that company.He Was Released due to a Bad Attitude when asked to gain some more weight for a bigger push,and Signed with another promotion in June 2002.Just a Few Months Later,due to falling outs with the management,he was released in November of 2002 only to return to the Conneticut promotion by early december of 2002.He Was Released yet again in Early January 2005,this time due to Falling outs with Some members of the Management and losing weigh(from 280 lbs to 270lbs).Poole then later performed in many well-known Indy Wrestling promotions across the tri-state area from January of 2005 until april of 2005.In March of 2005,a new Major Wrestling promotion would flourish:One Up Wrestling,also well-known as The OUW.As Devon walked out of "The Asylum" one Day,OUW's Former General Manager,Gavin "Snake" Steele,would Approach him with an OUW Contract.Devon Quickly Signed the Contract,and the rest was history.

The Beginning in the OUW
Devon Poole debuted in the OUW in April of 2005(still being billed in at 280lbs).He Was Quickly given a Championship match..But it was against Then-OUW Heavyweight Champion Dylan "Gamr" Scott.Poole Nearly Won,but he fell short and lost the match.He would lose some matches and win some matches.But,that all changed after OUW Presents: Culmination 2005...

As Culmination Ended,A Rival Wrestling promotion from Hartford,CT flourished:The united Wrestling alliance,Also known to the world as the uWa.The uWa(Originally formed by Avenger,Sgt.America,Billy Hill,Psyclone,Hollywood Jayson,and Hunter,as well as other members of the now defunct uWa roster) would Try to invade the OUW Arena and Randomly attack OUW's Wrestlers.While the rest of the OUW didnt like it,Michael "Plat" King sure did,as he became the OUW's New Co-General Manager and Teamed up with The uWa as they began to harass and attack the OUW Roster.However,Poole Defeated Plat and other uWa members,depsite All of the ambush attacks.Devon later joined OUW faction "Most wanted" and at OUW Presents: Turmoil 2005,he won the OUW Intercontinental Championship.He would hold the gold for two months,until he lost it to Xavier Williams at OUW Presents: Ascension 2006.

As Ascention Ended,ATHF,Leader of "OUW's Most Wanted",an OUW stable which included the likes of ATHF,Poole,and others,ended the Faction.ATHF,long time fan-favorite,Turned on an Injured Devon Poole,saying Harsh words about him,which resulted in him quickly turning him against the fans.Devon Then Returned to face ATHF in a match for OUW's Most Wanted's Contract.Devon won Via Submission,and Won the contract as well.

After A few Run-ins with Plat,Devon Poole fought the former OUW owner for the US title at OUW Presents: Paramount II in 2006.Though he fought with effort,Just like the other times he's fought for the US Gold,he came up short after Plat Knocked him out with the US title and covered him for the victory.But,Those two wouldnt stop there.After Devon Poole won a #1 contender's match for the OUW Heavyweight Championship against Scorpion,Coz,and Xavier Williams,He and Plat were once again at odds.Following a Submission Victory against plat at uWa's Finality PPV,and a loss in a three-on-one Handicap match fighting against Psyclone,scorpion,and Plat Himself,Devon and Plat Fought once again at OUW Presents: Massacre 2006.With Poole winning the match after interference from Plat's Older Brother Micheal “Bigg Daddy” Sweet,Devon's Feud With Plat was Finished..and his feud with Gamr had Just begun...
