Professional wrestling career
Early career
Johnson began training at Jon Z's wrestling camp in mid 2002, and made his professional debut in early 2003. He made the rounds working various Midwest indy promotions until later that year, when Jon got together with Nykk and Ronin Fox to create Future Pay-Per-View Wrestling. Johnson was brought in December, when he made his debut for the company.

In late 2003, Jon Z was in a bit of a hurry to find a replacement for the original Concession Boy, who had been deported back to Sweden, and Concession Boy Sr., an Asian "relation" and CB's tag partner, who was put out with a concussion. On the December 12 episode of Foundation, Jon lamented this fact to Huh, who grabbed the first guy he saw and brought him into Jon's office. He insisted no one would notice it wasn't Concession Boy Sr., despite the man being black rather than Asian. The man was under the impression that he was just there to sell snacks, but an exasperated Jon gave him a contract to sign anyway. A few weeks later, he made his debut as Concession Boy III, the North American relation of the other Concession Boys, but lost to Austin Lee despite putting up an impressive fight. He quickly ran afoul of Joey Sprinklers, who had bad blood with the previous Concession Boys. CBIII didn't help matters by creating a t-shirt for Joey that featured him spouting water with a hose up his butt. When Joey noticed it, he blindsided CBIII at the merchandise table. Thanks to Joey's botched interference in a match against fellow Heel Stable member Kevin Stone the next week, CBIII managed to score his first big victory.
Eventually, Concesson Boy Sr. returned to action and formed a team with CBIII called the Concession Boyz. They entered the Ohio Tag Team Championship Tournament and defeated Los Villanos in the first round. But a loss to Johnny Kashmere and Chris Stylez in the next round dropped them into the lower brackets, where they came up short in a subsequent Triple Threat Match against The Eccentrics and the team of Cynric and Silver King, eliminating them from the tournament. The Concession Boyz continued tagging in the months that followed, as well as being responsible for selling all the merchandise at live events. On the June 22 episode of Foundation, CBIII was helped to a win by a random woman, who immediately started selling t-shirts to ringside fans. This turned out to be Concession Girl from Rio de Janeiro, who became the South American representative in the stable now named Merchandising Inc. They made their in-ring debut as a trio on July 20, defeating Los Villanos and Jade in a six-person mixed tag match.
In early 2005, the now renamed Renegade Championship Wrestling was having financial problems, and Jon Z disappeared from the scene, supposedly with all the money. CBIII's last appearance on televison before the company folded was on January 18, losing a first round match in the Road to the Revolution Tournament to Johnny Kashmere by count-out. The employees of RCW would get back together for one last hurrah at WrestlingRevolution II on May 15, where the Concession Boyz became the final RCW Tag Team Champions when they defeated The Pyro Twins.

The Wrestling Fraternity
In early 2008, Robbie Reno formed a partnership with MECCA rookie Ryan Andrews, who was having a crisis about how to juggle his wrestling career with the fact that he was still in college. In order to loosen him up, Reno suggested a good old fashioned frat party. They then took it a step further and decided to form their own wrestling fraternity, rushing new members. Their new group debuted on March 5, interrupting a match and introducing themselves as Epsilon Epsilon Epsilon, complete with sorority sisters and beer kegs. Robbie and Ryan dropped their last names and introduced CBIII as their new frat brother Omar, along with Cubby and Gary, and eventually their head sorority sister Stephie. They then attacked Tristan Lee before being run off by his brother Austin. All five men competed in the Battlebrawl match at The MECCA Challenge IV, but none of them were able to win. They appeared later in the night, taking over the ring and attempting to get a party started before being run off by The Briscoes.
During the summer, Huh decided that he wanted to be a part of EEE, who regarded him as a joke behind his back. Nonetheless, they took him on as a pledge and made him go through Hell Month, doing demeaning and abusive tasks like having to wash a locker room they had just urinated in with a toothbrush, or being kicked and beaten down while he carried their bags and being forced to compete against Gary and Ryan in a Handicap match at Punked Out. But Huh balked when it came to drinking a cup of raw sewage from one of their kegs. EEE beat him down before he was rescued by The Lee Brothers. Omar teamed with Gary and Cubby to face Huh and the Lees at Liberty or Death, getting the win. Omar mostly backed up the rest of EEE for the remainder of the year, teaming with all his brothers as the occasion called for it, as well as having some singles matches.
With the number of factions rising in late 2008, EEE was ready to stake their claim at the top. On December 3, they saved The Necro Butcher and Irish Airborne from an attack by The House of Lords and The Consulate, putting them in the fans' good graces. Huh also came back into the mix with his own faction, Huh's Hot Dogs. In response to this, Katie Piehl instituted the Round Robin Faction War, where the factions would face one another in elimination tag matches with a random number of participants. Every survivor meant a point for the faction, and the two top scoring factions at the end would go on to The MECCA Challenge V for one more match, with the winning side's members all getting a guaranteed title shot of their choice. The three lowest scoring factions, however, would be forced to split up. EEE lost their first match in the tournament to Huh's Hot Dogs, but got on the board with a win over the Consulate at Bloody Valentine when Gary and Ryan beat the Consulate in tag team elimination action, scoring two points. EEE scored another two points on March 18 after winning a six-man tag against Luchacore. This put them even with the House of Lords, who had also scored four points, and were the only matchup left in the tournament. The two factions met in an eight-man elimination tag at Melee, where Gary, Robbie, Omar, and Ryan faced Nykk, Ronin Fox, and The Pyro Twins. Gary was the sole survivor, making EEE one of the top scoring factions, along with the Consulate. Robbie, Ryan, Gary, Omar, and Cubby teamed against Alan Mayse, Jamie Chan, Yoshiaki Yago, the Wild Wolf and Prince Nana at the MECCA Challenge V, and the match came down to Robbie and Nana. The Consulate tried to interfere, but were taken out by EEE as well as their group's personal superhero Captain Epsilon. That allowed Robbie to pin Nana and win the Round Robin Faction War. World Champion Anubis would go on to have the fight of his life in the main event against Eddie Crowe, but ultimately retained. Omar claimed his title shot against Anubis on the June 3 episode of Go Time, but was decisively defeated.
As prominent members of the MECCA roster, EEE got pulled into the war against Team ROH in the spring. Takeshi Morishima would deal them a big blow when he defeated Ryan in singles competition, injuring his neck and putting him out of action. As the MECCA vs. ROH feud heated up, a Perimeter of Pain match was announced for Summertime Showdown to settle the score. Team MECCA co-captains Nykk and Ronin Fox recruited Gary and Robbie to be on their side, as well as Eddie Crowe. Omar was mostly relegated to teaming with Cubby in preliminary matches after this as Robbie and Gary spent their time preparing for the match. This upset Omar, who felt abandoned by his brothers, and he quit EEE in August. Shortly thereafter, Omar decided to retire as a competitor. His last match was in a losing effort against Are$ on the September 23, 2009, episode of Go Time.
