Later he traveled to England to train under the guidance of Danny Boy Collins and started to work for different promotions across Europe and North America.[4] [5] In 2016 he became the first Israeli to work under the banner of the American promotion Combat Zone Wrestling.[6] His appearance in CZW became viral in Israel, as his signature move The Chosen People's Elbow was showcased on the popular tv-show Hazinor.[7] Brooks was the subject of a Kan 11 documentary in early 2018, which saw him winning a match at the Golden City Showdown event in front of a hostile crowd in Prague.[8][9]
