1996

Welch's professional career began on November 11, 1996, after being trained at the Slam U. Wrestling Gym in Sun Valley, Los Angeles, California.

On December 17, Welch debuted his new ring name The Messiah, a holy man gimmick, where he defeated Johnny Webb.

The Messiah soon rose up the card and eventually became a main eventer while wrestling against Extreme Championship Wrestling alumni such as Sabu, Chris Candido and New Jack.

At the first Tournament of Death on August 31, Messiah competed in the tournament despite not being an official entrant.
