Career

Tough Enough

Before getting into professional wrestling, Hennigan attended the University of California at Davis studying both film and geology. Upon deciding that he did not want to pursue either path, he began his professional wrestling career training at the Supreme Pro Wrestling school. After failing his audition for the second series, in 2002 he was accepted as a cast member for the third season of the WWE/MTV reality show WWE Tough Enough, eventually becoming co-winner with Matt Cappotelli. For winning, he was awarded a WWE developmental contract and assigned to WWE's "farm territory" Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) to continue his training. The duo made their first appearance on WWE television on an episode of Heat in January 2004, losing to Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak in a tag team match.
