Before they went to work in 2003 with WWE, they wrestled for the All World Wrestling League/Big Time Wrestling in Michigan. They were part of the talent signed by Ed and Tom Farhat, sons of the 'original' Sheik, who died in January 2003, to bring back the 'original' BTW that was requested by the fans.
Basham and Holle eventually made their way to Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's then-top developmental territory, and began a small rivalry that ended when both were called up to the main roster. Basham wrestled under his real name while Hollie wrestled as "Damaja".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
