Chism completed his wrestling training at the Harley Race's Wrestling Academy in early 2001. In one of his first matches he defeated Trevor Murdoch. Chism's first professional championship was a WLW Tag Team Championship. He and Murdoch won the title on March 8, 2002 in Lebanon, Missouri defeating The Gold Exchange. Later that year, Chism won his first WLW Heavyweight Championship.
Chism, however, did not hold another belt until he and Dakota won the WLW Tag Team Championship on November 13, 2004 in Kansas City. They held the belts for 175 days before losing them to Ace Steele and Superstar Steve. Chism then focused on singles action winning back the WLW Heavyweight Championship on July 23, 2005 and holding it for 189 days. After a match with Keith Walker the title was held up and vacated and Chism won a Triple Threat match in St. Joseph against Jason Bates and Walker on February 26, 2006. His third reign only lasted one day as the next night he lost the belt to Bates. His fourth reign started much as his third ended as both matches were in the same city against the same opponent (El Dorado and against Jason Bates).
Wade went on to have the feud against Keith Walker. The two battled over the belt all over the state. Walker got the best of Chism on May 13, 2006, winning the belt in St. Joseph, and ending Chism's fourth title reign. Chism challenged Walker over the next couple months for the belt. The two had a match that ended in a Double Count Out so WLW owner Harley Race made a lumberjack match for the two on July 8 in Eldon. On this night, Chism won the belt back for a record fifth time.
Chism lost the title to Daniel Cross 105 days later. This marked the last time Wade held the WLW Championship. Later that year he took a young Mike DiBiase under his wing and together the two won the WLW Tag Team Championships on December 9, 2006. This marked the third time Chism was a Tag Team Champion and the last championship he has held to date. The team was stripped due to DiBiase being injured.
Chism was a standout in athletics all through high school and into college. He went on to play semi-pro baseball before entering the Harley Race's Wrestling Academy.
