In April 2005 Stagikas put his career on hiatus as a result of multiple injuries and exhaustion. He returned to the ring on August 20, 2005 in his home promotion, Chaotic Wrestling.

Career

Massachusetts

John Stagikas attended Framingham High School, where he was a member of the football team, and graduated in 1997. He then attended Assumption College in Worcester, where he played football for a further two years as a wide receiver until his career was ended by an operation to remove a cyst from his neck in his junior year. Stagikas graduated in 2001 with a 3.2 grade point average and a degree in Communications.

While in college, Stagikas harbored dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. After his neck surgery forced an end to his football career, Stagikas sent applications to several wrestling schools, but the only trainer to reply to him was Killer Kowalski, the trainer of wrestlers such as Triple H and Chyna. Stagikas joined the school run by Kowalski in Malden on January 27, 2001, and trained under Kowalski for five months. (It should be noted that when asked about his students, Kowalski admitted to not knowing who John Walters was -- even going as far as to say that the Chaotic Training Center, who bought out his training school, uses his name to refer to CTC's students even if he has never met the student in person.)

After debuting in mid-2001, with his singles debut coming in August 2001, Stagikas began wrestling on the Bostonian independent circuit, adopting the name John Walters five months later as a tribute to Kowalski (whose real first name translates to "Walter" in English). He later prefixed his name with "Hurricane" at the suggestion of a college roommate. Wrestling for promotions such as the World Wrestling Alliance for the meagre sum of $25, Stagikas supplemented his income by working as a waiter and bartender at an Applebee's restaurant in Hudson. Stagikas worked for promotions throughout New England, most prominently Chaotic Wrestling.

Chaotic Wrestling

Walters joined Chaotic Wrestling, based in his home state of Massachusetts, soon after debuting, and received supplementary training from Mike Hollow, a former trainer under Kowalski who had become the head trainer of the Chaotic Training Center. On September 7, 2001 in Lawrence, Walters defeated Slyk Wagner Brown in a match for the CW Television Championship. He lost the title to CW Light Heavyweight Champion Dukes Dalton in Lowell on February 16, 2002 in a title unification match.
