Drake has competed for numerous organisations in the California area, including Xtreme Pro Wrestling under the ring name Saleem Jihad, Ultimate Pro Wrestling, NWA Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. Drake received his greatest exposure competing for Music Television"s Wrestling Society X, in which he formed a team with Ruckus named Keepin" lieutenant Gangsta.
Drake later feuded at American Welding Society with both First Rate (at Lloyd's) Katrazz and the Plague.
