Early Beginnings
Travis Killings made his start in 2000, working with UWA (Universal Wrestling Alliance). He started a feud with Michael Dean after Dean had attacked him shortly after his win in his debut match. The feud lasted about a month until Killings had finally defeated Dean at UWA Blood Bath after a TKO. In April 2000, he began a feud with Reke after Travis Killings had TKO'ed Reke while he was making a promo. He defeated Reke on an episode of UWA after a TKO. Then, he got a shot at the UWA Tag Team title, but lost the match after his partner, Flyin' Ryan missed a moonsault and fell into a rollup position. In June 2000, at UWA SummerBash, he defeated "Big Bad" Bruce after lifting him up for a TKO. After 4 months in UWA, he began an undefeated streak where he was never pinned and didn't submit. His undefeated streak ended in November after Crasher defeated him after hitting him with multiple chair shots. However, Travis Killings got revenge the next night on UWA after defeated Crasher in a first blood match. Shortly thereafter, in December, he challenged Zodiak for the UWA World Heavyweight Championship and won the title after reversing the Power Zodiak into a TKO. This began his first run as champion. In 2001, he continued defending the title successfully until he lost it to Shawn in June 2001 at SummerBash. He then continued wrestling in singles competition until he met Haze.

Rivalry/Friendship with Haze (2001-2002)
In October 2001, Travis Killings and Haze had a tag team match against Hippi and Tyler. The fans easily saw the possibility of achievement with Haze and Killings due to the fact that they have held the UWA World Heavyweight Championship. It was also funny because Haze and Killings were trying to outwrestle the other. They won the match, but Harry Bondavia, the owner of UWA noticed how Haze and Travis Killings as a team got over with the fans. Over the next few weeks, they were seen in funny segments, competing against each other in games like chess, monopoly, basketball, baseball, football, pizza eating contest, and obstacle course races. They had a match for the UWA Tag Team Championship, but lost to the defending champions, Christopher Young and Alan Michaels, after a Young/Michaels Combination (Powerbomb/Top Rope Spear combination) to Haze. They became very popular with the fans. However, the rival show, ACW had Raven-One Connection at the time, however, the team disbanded in December 2001. Travis Killings and Haze challeged for the tag team titles once again, but were unsuccesful. Then, after the match Travis Killings challlenged Haze to a match at Silent Night. Haze accepted the match and defeated Killings after hitting the Shades on Travis Killings. After UWA made an agreeable contract with ACW, many talent from UWA and the developmental territory was traded to ACW in exchange for talent from ACW and the developmental territory. As a result Travis Killings and Haze were traded to ACW.

ACW
Travis Killings made his start on ACW, defeating Johnny Jeter, the leader of the Purple World Order. After the match, Jeter, Krymynal, and Double X attacked Killings. Krymynal put Killings in the Ghetto Blaster, Double X landed a diving elbow to his legs, which easily set Killings up for a Sharpshooter by Jeter, who was in his fifth reign as ACW Palace Champion at the time. The next week, Travis Killings challenged Double X to a match at ACW Judgment Day 2002, which he won after a TKO. He was challenged by Krymynal to a match on an edition of Rush which ended in a draw after both men were brawling outside the ring during the referee's countout. The brawl spilled into the locker room and the wrestlers made an attempt to seperate them, but Travis Killings and Krymynal started fighting them off and cotinued attacking each other, making a return to ringside to continue brawling before they were seperated by officials, management, security, and the wrestlers.

Continuation of his feud with Krymynal/P.W.O.
Travis Killings challenged Krymynal to a steel cage match, which at first was declined by Krymynal, but he accepted after ambushing Travis Killings from behind after his match and used his finishing move, the Ghetto Blaster on him. The steel cage match was set for the last edition of Rush before Vengeance, with the winner becoming #1 contender for the ACW Palace Championship against Johnny Jeter. Killings won the steel cage match after hitting a TKO. However, he lost to Johnny Jeter at Vengeance after Krymynal interfered. After the match, Jeter put Killings in the Sharpshooter on the announce table. Killings was kept in the hold for more than two minutes, while Killings screamed in pain. Referees tried to get Jeter off of Killings, but the attempt was thwarted by the rest of the P.W.O. Killings tore his quadriceps while in the move and was said to be out for 5 months. He returned in December 2002, defeating Johnny Jeter at Armageddon 2002 after a TKO.
