Professional wrestling career[edit]
Various British Promotions (2012-)[edit]
After training under El Ligero, Slater worked for a variety of independent UK promotions, including Great British Wrestling, Megaslam Wrestling, ICE Wrestling and Tidal Championship Wrestling. While working for TCW, Slater engaged in a feud with Rampage Brown over possession of the TCW Championship. Having defeated former champion and mentor El Ligero, Slater captured the title from Brown in a singles match at Silent Nightmare but was knocked out during the bout. Due to the nature of his victory, Brown constantly challenged Slater to prove his championship credentials while pursuing a rematch of his own. Slater fought successful defences against Joey Hayes, Morgan Webster, Johnny Gargano, Martin Kirby, Kenny Williams and Jackie Polo, before facing Brown in a rematch at High Tide 2015 under last man standing rules, a match which Slater won following interference from Sean Only.
New Generation Wrestling (2013-)[edit]
Slater made his NGW debut in May 2013 at their Ambition house show, wrestling Ricky Halestorm to a no contest. He has spent most of his time with NGW working as enhancement talent, competing and losing in matches against Zack Gibson, Rampage Brown, Joseph Connors, Justin Sysum, Mike Hitchum and Dara Diablo. He has enjoyed greater success as a tag team wrestler with partner Dan James, earning his first televised victory against The Control in a six man tag with alongside James and Justin Sysum at the NGW 7th Anniversary show. At Ultimate Showdown, James abandoned Slater during a tag team match with The Proven, turning heel and beginning a feud between the two.
