After TNA, he wrestled under the name Slash Venon in IWA Puerto Rico . In 2005, he briefly wrestled in Ring of Honor . He now wrestles on the southeast independent circuit, mainly in United States Wrestling Organization, Showtime All-Star Wrestling and New Era Pro Wrestling, as well as many promotions throughout Indiana.
