CAREER START
JS2 made his wrestling debut in early 2006 in VOW. though starting on a losing streak, his luck changed when he started picking up wins and even challenging the 500 lb Big Show. this streak was short lived though, as he lost to his debuting brother, the lightning kid. shortly after, he joined WXWF.

WXWF
In June 2006, JS2 Joined WXWF On the showdown brand, with the gimmick of a darkside style mystery wrestler. this was soon changed to the gimmick of a smart-mouthed cocky heel, entering a feud with OOMAGA. JS2 was defeated by OOMAGA twice in a row before feuding with Larry Linford. JS2 started to get angry with the way stars from opposing show Vendetta were treated as "Top Stars" over the showdown stars. he invaded Vendetta and took his anger out on world champion l@nce d@niels backstage. as a result of this, Vendetta supporter WXWF CEO Bob Pooler held a grudge against JS2, resulting in some backstage politics. near the end of JS2's WXWF Career, the lightning kid returned to wrestling, this time teaming with JS2. after the backdraft card was announced with JS2 in a title match for Linford's Critical Condition title, JS2, along with the lightning kid, was released at the descision of pooler. JS2 tried to renegociate but was refused.

WWE HaVoc
later that month, JS2 joined WWE HaVoc a federation run by Vince McMahon and was assigned to the velocty brand. less than a week after joining HaVoc, JS2 quit and left the wrestling business for over 2 months.

return to HaVoc
in october 2006, JS2 announced his return to wrestling and joined HaVoc (now run by Eric Bischoff) on the OVW Brand, forming a team known as the ultimate alliance alongside DDP and Charlie Lawless. in his first match, he was set to face Lawless in a friendly match, in the process of the match, viciously turning on lawless and, overtaken with anger, lost the match. in resulting weeks, JS2 was on a losing streak until beating Kevin Nash and formed the rWo. after Bischoff purchased ECW and made it a regular brand, JS2 competed in a 7 man tables match. although JS2 didn't come out on top, he put up a great effort before indirectly losing after rocky menero was put through a table. after the departing GM of ECW Claire Chambers was replaced by Violent J, JS2 was given a ECW Television Title shot.
