Career

Holly made his wrestling debut in Ohio Valley Wrestling, as the Damaja. On January 6, he and David C. were awarded the OVW Tag Team Title when Nick Dinsmore no-showed and Rob Conway was counted out. He was also a three-time OVW Champion , defeating the likes of Dinsmore, Flash Flanagan, and Nova.

In 2003 he was given the managerial services of Tough Enough II winner Jackie Gayda, and then on May 29, made his WWE television debut (as Danny Basham), teaming with Doug Basham to form the tag-team The Basham Brothers, the Bashams as the they were known were later given the valet, Shaniqua. They use a gimick where they switch with each other so the "fresh" wrestler is in the ring, in almost all cases the referee plays at being oblivious to the switch. They are not in anyway "twin brothers" and their faces are easily diffrentiated.

Recently, the Basham Brothers joined John 'Bradshaw' Layfield's stable The Cabinet and they are both entitled as Co-Secretaries of Defense.
