Chris Wilson began his career as a professional wrestler in 1996. He would quickly be one of the first students to form Combat Zone Wrestling, being trained by the company promoter John Zandig. He fought under the name of "Justice Pain", with which he managed to lift the CZW World Heavyweight Championship five times, in addition to a large number of individual and tag team titles that made him the first triple crown champion of the company.
