Wrestling as Colin Olsen, Delaney has won wrestling championships. For his 1st championship, he teamed with his kayfabe brother Jimmy to win the NWA Upstate Tag Team Championship on November 13 2004 by defeating the Ring Crew Express (Kevin Dunn and Mean Marcos).[4][5] They held the belts for over six months before dropping them to The Outcast Killaz on May 14 2005.[4][6] They also captured the RCW Tag Team Championship on January 20th 2006 defeating the Prophets of Pain (Father Synne and Hard Knox) and retained until June 9th 2006 when they were stripped of the titles after a working arrangement between NWA Upstate and Roc City Wrestling was dissolved.

On May 19, 2007, Olsen defeated "Mastiff" Will Christianson and Damien Alexander to win NWA Empire's Lord of the Dance Championship, a title which can only be contested in three-way matches.[7][8] Colin's last defense of the title was at on December 8, 2007 where he wrestled his kayfabe brother Jimmy Olsen and "Mastiff" Will Christianson. At an NWA Empire show on February 9, 2008 Colin vacated the title due to his ECW brand commitments.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Delaney made his World Wrestling Entertainment debut as a jobber, seen wrestling on the ECW show. He was first beaten by Shelton Benjamin on the December 18 2007 edition of ECW, before getting squashed by Big Daddy V two weeks later.[9][10][11] On the January 8 2008 edition of ECW, Delaney did not face a member of the ECW brand, but instead faced Mark Henry from the SmackDown! brand. Delaney, however, was yet again beaten.[12] On the January 29, 2008 edition of ECW, he was beaten by WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz and John Morrison in a Handicap Match. However, during a post-match beatdown by the Champions, he was saved from a prolonged assault by Tommy Dreamer.[13] On February 24, 2008, Colin Delaney officially signed a three year contract with the WWE.

Delaney picked up his first official win in the WWE on the February 26, 2008 edition of ECW in a tag team match with Tommy Dreamer against The Miz and John Morrison.[14] On the March 11 2008 edition, he and Dreamer challenged for the titles but came up short in an Extreme Rules match after having lost a subsequent title match the week before.[15]

On the 100th episode of ECW on SciFi on May 6, 2008, Delaney scored his first singles win over ECW General Manager Armando Alejandro Estrada to win an ECW contract.
