Early Life
Dan Godwin was born in a small town in England, to parents of Anthony and Caroline Godwin. He was your average kid growing up and never really showed a passion for anything and was never a hugely popular kid. He attended a local upper school where he just about got above average in his exams.

Dan Godwin shortly after leaving high school attended a WWF Wrestling Show with his Grandad and the events there changed his outlook on life and he made it his goal to get into the business of Professional Wrestling. His main idols were "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith primarily.

After these events Dan Godwin joined a gym and some local wrestling independent wrestling federations in the local area and he showed an instant talent, it was here he was given the nickname "The X-Factor" by one of his trainers.

The next step his life took was an unexpected one as Dan Godwin was convinced to join the army cadets and this helped him reach where he is today, because during a trip to the United States he skipped curfew to attend a wrestling show and met a fellow Army cadet in "The Jersey Slacker" Tony Johnson

Dan Godwin again decided to chase his dream and so left the cadets along with Tony Johnson and the two formed a Tag Team called The Transatlantic Connectionand wrestled on the independent scene as they attempted to find a professional deal. This was unsuccessful but Dan Godwin kept receiving offers to join independently, eventually after realising him and Johnson wouldn't make it as a team, he accepted an offer and his first steps into the world of professional wrestling began in the Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation.

Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation
Dan Godwin debuted in this fed merely under the name of "The X-Factor". His time here in the EHWF was mostly unsucessful, however it was here that he met his mentor, a man by the name of The Husky, who was a 10 time EHWF World Champion. The Husky took Godwin under his wing and trained him hard, it was soon after that Godwin entered a fued with Kronik, after a long back a forward fued a cage match was booked with the winner getting a world title shot, a match which was won by Kronik, however Godwin was begining to realise his potential at long last. It was shortly after this that The Husky decided to take another student under his wings, the man who would be the last wrestler ever trained by The Husky before he was retired. This man was Xavier Serikaz a man who was quickly rising through the ranks in the EHWF. This team lead by Husky soon won the Hardcore Title (Godwin), International Title (Serikaz), World Title (Husky) and Tag Titles (Godwin and Serikaz) and were for a brief period of time holding all the titles in the organisation at the time. However under a month later disaster struck as The Husky was retired from wrestling after a brutal match for the World Title, which he won but was unable to continue competing. Godwin and Serikaz continued to team but without a leader divisions began to appear. Shortly after Godwin turned on Serikaz during a Tag Title match. Serikaz swore revenge. However they never met in the ring. Godwin shortly left the EHWF citing feelings that he was underapreciated and that he wanted to be challenged.
