Backyard wrestling tenure
Backyard Adrenaline Wrestling (2008 - Present)
Shadows briefly worked for BAW in January 2008 under the name 'Jobber Jacobson' where he jobbed to Alex Cruize, tapping out in a mere 10 seconds. After this, Shadows went to pursue other interests.
Shadows joined the BAW promotion in April 2008, shortly after celebrating his birthday. Shadows worked under his 'Extreme Joker' gimmick, where he would wear a hat and cane and had to characteristics of a psychopath. Shadow's gimmick was well met with fans and soon led Shadows on to being one of the pioneers in BAW.
Shadows was one of the founding fathers of Backyard Adrenaline Wrestling. Although not much of BAW received online coverage, the federation was a consist federation with many people coming to watch their shows. Shadows was one of the leaders of the NWO-style HGEW faction, which led to confusion of people mistaking BAW for HGEW.
BAW did however have success while online, as a member of the now-defunct Allied Wrestling Syndicate, their videos were often featured and received 300+ views. BAW had a consistent fanbase throughout their two year tenure. BAW decided to call it an end in early 2010, as many people grew tired of not being online and exam period had come up.
Shadows, joined forces with Warren Hardie in order to do one last series of BAW shows known as 'The Last Stand'. Despite the name, Hardie and Shadows are prepared to start more BAW shows if the event is a success, whether these shows will be online or not is yet to be determined. The Last Stand event will feature numerous BAW originals, and is seen as a "Hardcore Exit" for most of them.
