Early career (2000–2003) Toland was trained at
Monster Factory and made his debut in 2000. He mainly worked for
Phoenix Championship Wrestling in New Jersey.
World Wrestling Entertainment (2003–2006) Toland wrestled in
World Wrestling Entertainment's developmental territory
Ohio Valley Wrestling starting in May 2003, teaming with
Chris Cage. The
babyface duo won the Tag title three times from 2003 to 2004. Her lost to
Val Venis on Sunday Night Heat on October 13, 2003. During 2005 Toland turned
heel and began to team with Chad Wicks, who posed as his cousin,
Chad Toland they wrestled as the
Blond Bombers and on April 12, 2005, the team won the
OVW Southern Tag Team Title from the Thrillseekers (
Matt Cappotelli and
Johnny Jeter). Toland also went on to hold the
OVW Heavyweight Title which he won from his former partner Chris Cage on December 1, 2004. He held it until he had to surrender it due to his first torn biceps that required surgery. While in OVW Toland was voted by the fans to be both the most popular babyface as well as most popular heel, which made him one of the major draws for the company. Toland made his debut as a heel on
SmackDown! as James Dick along with his partner, Chad Toland who was now using the name Chad Dick on October 14, 2005, as The Dicks. Their gimmick was dressing up like
chippendales and using body oil (which was really water) to spray in their baby-face opponents eyes. After
The Mexicools won their 8-man tag match with their partners
Road Warrior Animal and
Heidenreich by defeating
Paul Burchill and
William Regal and
MNM, The Mexicools were ambushed by the Dicks, and in the process they threw the then current
WWE Cruiserweight Champion,
Juventud out of the ring and laid out
Super Crazy and
Psicosis using two of their signature tag team
finishers. On the October 28 episode of
SmackDown!, The Dicks appeared once again, helping MNM capture the
WWE Tag Team Championship when they attacked Heidenreich before Paul Burchill was about to receive the
Doomsday Device finisher. This began a brawl with all the teams as the Dicks began attacking Road Warrior Animal. This allowed MNM to hit the
Snapshot on Heidenreich and win the titles. On the November 5 episode of
Velocity, The Dicks made their in-ring debut in WWE defeating
jobbers James Prentice and Kevin Antonio. On the November 25 episode of
SmackDown!, The Dicks made their official SmackDown! debuts, defeating Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal after blinding Road Warrior Animal with body oil. On February 22, 2006, however, The Dicks were released from their WWE contracts. Their last match in WWE was on
SmackDown! which was broadcast on February 24, 2006, where The Dicks were defeated by
The Boogeyman. Both men returned to Ohio Valley Wrestling, where Toland and Wicks began an
angle together. In May 2006, while still wrestling for OVW, ROH and other promotions, Toland became the head instructor for OVW/WWE's developmental amateur class. He was responsible for training new students as well as WWE contracted wrestlers who were new to the wrestling business.
Independent Circuit (2006–2009) After WWE and OVW, Toland worked in the
independent circuit. In April 2007, he won the Xtreme 8 Tournament, defeating
Brent Albright.
Ring of Honor (2006–2009) In late 2006, Toland began wrestling for the
Philadelphia based promotion
Ring of Honor, being called "The All Natural Superior Athlete" Tank Toland. He made his debut at
Suffocation on October 17, competing in a
Four Corners Survival match against
Roderick Strong,
Chris Hero and
Mark Briscoe. Toland wrestled several shows for ROH in 2006, his final being at
The Chicago Spectacular: Night Two, before taking time off from the company due to a torn biceps that required surgery. At the
