[edit] Training

Jigsaw trained alongside "The King Of Diamonds" Eddie Kingston and BlackJack Marciano at the Wrestle Factory in Philadelphia, PA. He graduated with them as the second class. He made his pro wrestling debut in CHIKARA on November 16, 2002 as the mystery partner in an 8 man tag match. He teamed with Eddie Kingston, Blackjack Marciano & Blind Rage against Mike Quackenbush, Love Bug, DJ Skittlez and Icarus.

[edit] Combat Zone Wrestling

Jigsaw made his debut in CZW in a CHIKARA 6-man tag match with Kingston & Marciano vs Quackenbush & Team F.I.S.T (Icarus & Gran Akuma). He did more of these CHIKARA showcase matches until 2006 when he became a regular member of the roster.

On September 9, 2006, Jigsaw wrestled a double header for CZW. In the afternoon, he wrestled on the Down With the Sickness 4-Ever: Chris Ca$h Memorial Show where he fought and beat Hallowicked for a Junior Heavyweight Title shot on the night show. At the night show called "Expect The Unexpected", Jigsaw defeated Sonjay Dutt for the Jr. Heavyweight Title, his first title in CZW.

On October 16, 2006, Jigsaw made his first defense of the Junior Heavyweight Title on the "Last Team Standing" show when he defeated Luke and Sexxxy Eddy in a triple threat match.

At the CZW show Night of Infamy, there will be a gauntlet featuring any number of former CZW Jr. Heavyweight Champions and the winner of the gauntlet will face the man who came up with the idea for the gauntlet, Jigsaw, and it will be for the Jr. Heavyweight Title.

[edit] CHIKARA

Jigsaw made his Chikara debut on November 16, 2002 as the mystery partner of Eddie Kingston, Blackjack Marciano & Blind Rage against Mike Quackenbush, Love Bug, DJ Skittlez and Icarus.

Jigsaw competed in the second annual CHIKARA Young Lions Cup Tournament on July 31, 2004. He made it all the way to the finals only to lose to Sweet & Sour Larry Sweeney. Although he lost, he ended up getting a rematch for the Young Lions Cup on November 19, 2004. He beat Sweeney for the Cup becoming the first man to win the Young Lions Cup without winning the Young Lions Cup Tournament.

In Jigsaw's biggest win up until that point (October 30, 2004), he won the first ever CHIKARA Cibernetico Tournament (16 man elimination tag match) when one of his opponents named Spyrazul pulled off his own mask to reveal he was actually Mike Quackenbush. Quack then took out his own teammate, Larry Sweeney, allowing Jigsaw to get the victory over Sweeney after 77 minutes of action.

Jigsaw competed in the 2005 CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix where he teamed with Sabian. They came close to the finals but lost 1 round before the finals when they were faced with the team of Arik Cannon and Claudio Castagnoli who ended up winning the whole tournament.

Jigsaw started a feud with Hallowicked in 2005 which had many matches. Jigsaw lost most of those matches though due to interference from Ultramantis Black and others. The feud culminated with a 2 out of 3 falls match on November 13, 2005 which Jigsaw won 2 falls to 1 (he used the Jig-N-Tonic to win the final fall).

Jigsaw competed in the 2006 CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix where he teamed with Arik Cannon. They beat Sexxxy Eddy and Kevin Steen in their first round match but lost to Team Muga (Osamu Nishimura & Katsushi Takemura) in their second round match.

On June 24, 2006, Jigsaw teamed with Shane Storm to face Team F.I.S.T (Icarus & Gran Akuma). The match ended when Icarus was disqualified for pulling off the mask of Jigsaw. This was another event in the long fued between the two that started a few years prior.

On July 22, 2006, Jigsaw ended his feud with Icarus when they fought in a Hair (Icarus) vs Mask (Jigsaw) match at the "Crushing Weight Of Mainstream Ignorance" show. Jigsaw beat Icarus with his Jig-n-Tonic move. Icarus tried running away but Jolly Roger and Mr. Zero showed up to stop Icarus from running away and forced him to get his head shaved.

Jigsaw, along with fellow Chikara wrestlers Gran Akuma and Hallowicked, are scheduled to debut for Ring of Honor on 4/27 and 4/28 in St. Paul and Chicago Ridge.
