This transition marked the end of his teaching career and the origins of his "teacher" gimmick in professional wrestling.

Entry into professional wrestling

Striker's entry into professional wrestling was marked by dedicated training under veteran instructors Jody Hamilton, known as Assassin #1, and Johnny Rodz at the World of Unpredictable Wrestling school in Brooklyn, New York.

Striker's notable rivalries during this period added depth to his portfolio, particularly his encounters with and Xavier. On July 13, 2002, in JAPW, Xavier defeated Striker in a singles match that highlighted their contrasting styles—Xavier's high-flying aggression against Striker's ground-based approach.

To manage his dual roles, Striker limited wrestling to weekend bookings across the Northeast, using accumulated sick days from his teaching position—totaling 11 in one year—to attend events without immediate detection, a schedule that strained his professional life until media coverage in 2005 forced his resignation. This balancing act not only sustained his indie momentum but also amplified his unique appeal, blending classroom authority with in-ring intensity.

ECW revival and role (2006–2008)

Throughout his ECW tenure, Striker adapted his condescending teacher gimmick to the brand's extreme setting, portraying himself as an intellectual out of place among "uneducated" brawlers and assigning symbolic "homework" to opponents in promos to mock their styles—such as challenging The Sandman to study proper wrestling technique before their hardcore clashes. This persona amplified his heel heat, with Striker often entering matches in argyle attire while delivering lectures, blending educational taunts with physical confrontations in stipulation bouts like tables and extreme rules encounters tied to New Breed storylines. By 2008, as WWE began scaling back ECW's prominence amid shifting brand priorities, Striker's in-ring opportunities diminished, leading to his transition to for the brand starting on the August 5 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, effectively concluding his full-time wrestling role within the revival.
