Professional wrestling career

Early career (2019-2021)

Upon graduating from high school, he would begin training to pursue a career in professional wrestling, enrolling in the Absolute Intense Wrestling School in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. After completing his training, he adopted the name Tony Quinn and began competing in AIW as a competitor, making his in-ring debut on August 11, 2020, defeating one of his trainers Derek Dillinger. He would then spend the next couple of years competing in various independent promotions around the country, wrestling in promotions such as CZW, FIP, and Deadlock Pro-Wrestling.

TNA

Early storylines (2021-2022)

He would then sign a three-year contract with TNA during the summer of 2021, making his debut for the promotion on the August 19th episode of Impact, being defeated by Sami Callihan. He would mostly be used as enhancement talent during the early months of his time in the promotion before embarking on a winning streak in November 2021. Going into the end of the year, he had been victorious in his past 20 matches. He would then enter contention for the TNA X-Division Championship held by Eddie Edwards. He would then enter a 20-man Battle Royal at No Surrender on February 19, 2022, ultimately emerging victorious to become the #1 Contender. He would receive his championship opportunity at the Sacrifice event on March 5, ultimately being unsuccessful. A tournament would then be set up to determine a new champion after Eddie Edwards would utilize Option C, vacating the title as a result.

Longest reigning X-Division Champion (2022-2024)

He would defeat Rockstar Spud in the first round of the tournament, followed by AJ Francis in the second round. He would then advance to the semifinals where he would score a victory over Alex Shelley, moving on to the finals where he scored a victory over Chris Sabin in a very well-received match at the Against All Odds event on July 1, becoming the X-Division Champion for the first time. As champion, he would then establish an open challenge, vowing to defend the championship every week. He would successfully defend the championship over the coming weeks and months against opponents such as Rich Swann, Ace Austin, Jack Price, and Hammerstone.

He would enter a feud with Sami Callihan, who would mock Tony, deeming his championship reign a fluke and a failure. Their rivalry would lead to a championship match being made for the Victory Road event on September 23, where he would emerge victorious, retaining the title as a result. After the match, he would be brutally assaulted by Sami Callihan, rendering him out of action for the next few weeks. He would make his return on the October 13th episode of Impact, attacking Sami Callihan during his promo. Their rivalry would culminate in an unsanctioned match at the Bound for Glory event on October 21, where he would emerge victorious to retain the championship. He would then return to hosting open challenges every week, successfully defending the championship for six weeks in a row. On April 28, 2023, he would surpass Austin Aries' 301-day reign, becoming the longest-reigning X-Division Champion in TNA history. On the May 9, 2024, episode of Impact, he would make the announcement that he was invoking Option C and would vacate the X-Division Championship, ending his record-setting reign at 679 days. He would receive his championship opportunity against Moose at the Against All Odds event on June 14, being defeated in a TNA World Heavyweight Championship contest. This would be his last match and appearance in TNA, as his contract would expire on July 1, marking his departure from the promotion.
