Trainer

In 2002, a group of aspiring wrestlers from Perth – where there was no wrestling school at the time - traveled to South Australia and trained under Col Dervany, Bruce Mills and Hartley Jackson. In 2003, Jag and Havok ventured to Perth on multiple occasions to wrestle for Explosive Pro Wrestling, as well as become guest instructors and help further train the EPW roster and train wrestlers like Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste (TMDK).[4] Hartley Jackson later opened a new training centre in Adelaide called the Wrestle Rampage Dojo.[4]

In 2005, Hartley Jackson made his first trip to the USA. He lived and trained at New Japan Pro Wrestling's dojo in Los Angeles, California, where he trained in pro wrestling alongside Fergal Devitt, Rocky Romero, Alex Koslov and Karl Anderson. Jackson teamed with Mikey Nicholls in 2006 on a New Japan show against Minoru Tanaka and Hirooki Goto at the Korakuen Hall.[5]
