Backyard wrestling
Cole made himself known as a backyard wrestler in his home country of Finland. He fastly raised in the ranks and became known as the guy who took the worst bumps. He also was praised of his technical skills and charisma on the mic.

Debut
It was reported in early 2013, that Cole had signed a short time contract to OPW, a CAW company owned by Cole's friend Joe Omega. In his first match in OPW, he defeated his long time idol CM Punk due to an interference by The Undertaker. Later, Cole was the special referee in a Hell in the Cell match between the two of them at OPW Absolute Zero, which was won by The Undertaker.

Soon, Cole became the first ever OPW TV Champion, but the title was deactivated soon after, and at the same time he suffered a strained achilles tendon against Rain Lopez and went out with an injury.

Return
In June 2013, it was rumored that Cole would make his re-debut in OPW sometime soon. The month after, it was reported Cole had signed a new contract with the company. He finally returned on the August 6th episode of OPW Warzone to take part in the Death or Glory series and beat Mick Foley on his first match back. On the first episode of OPW Superstars, Cole had a match against John Depp but lost via submission. He was then injured again and was scheluded to be out of action for approx. 6 months again.

Cole re-debuted in OPW on December 1, 2013 to fight Rey Mysterio. Cole viciously attacked Mysterio on the outside before defeating him via pinfall. On OPW Red on December 4, Cole saved Norm Dailey from a vicious attack by Bray Wyatt, forming a tag team with Dailey.

New-NXT (2013)
Tony Cole debuted on the first episode of New-NXT in August 2013. He defeated Austin Aries by pinfall, but after the match he got a low blow from Aries. On the following episode, he was defeated by Joe Omega after Aries tossed a chair to Omega while the referee was distracted. The federation was however defunct, at least for the time being.
