He is aone-timePWG World Champion, the inauguralROH World Champion, one-timeMLW World Heavyweight Champion and athree-timeNWA World Tag Team Champion, and has won a number of tournaments and otherchampionships on theindependent circuit, and was the winner of thesecond season ofNXT in 2010. Silvestry has also worked extensively inJapan, most notably forNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he was a three-timeIWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion, andPro Wrestling Zero-One (Zero-One), where he was a one-timeZero-One International Junior Heavyweight andNWA International Lightweight Tag Team Champion. He is a three time world champion, and is the only wrestler in history to have been ROH, PWG, and MLW World Champion.
Silvestry began wrestling in late 1998 under the ring name Low Ki, which he derived from the lyrics of the song "No Diggity". He began wrestling forJersey All Pro Wrestling (JAPW) in 1998, challengingHomicide and Kane D for theJAPW Tag Team Championship.[8] The following year he challenged for theJAPW Light Heavyweight Championship twice, unsuccessfully, but defeated Crazy Ivan and Judas Young to win the second Best of the Light Heavyweights tournament.[9]
In 2000, he began making several appearances in theWorld Wrestling Federation on their programsMetal andJakked, where he competed against the likes ofRaven,Crash Holly,Christian andEssa Ríos.[4] The following year he made it through to the finals ofAll Pro Wrestling's King of the Indies tournament, losing the crown toAmerican Dragon.[10] It was also during 2001 that he defeated Nick Berk and Homicide in separate matches on the same evening to win both theJAPW Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Titles; he would successfully defend both titles in separate matches at their Fourth Anniversary Show later that month in July. He lost both titles in a Three Way match the following month to Homicide, withXavier as the other competitor.[11]
Low Ki made hisRing of Honor (ROH) debut at its first show, The Era of Honor Begins, on February 23. In the show's main event, he defeatedBryan Danielson and "The Fallen Angel"Christopher Daniels.[12] On July 27, 2002, at Crowning a Champion, he became the first everROH Champion by defeating Daniels,Spanky andDoug Williams in a Four Way Ironman match.[13][14] On August 24, Low Ki successfully defended his title againstA.J. Styles.[13] On September 21, at Unscripted, he lost the title to Xavier, who, after winning the title, became a member of Daniels'sfaction The Prophecy.[13][15] Low Ki then facedSamoa Joe on October 5 in what was Joe's official ROH debut in a "Fight Without Honor". In what resembled more of anMMA fight, Low Ki won the match and they shook hands after the match.[4] Low Ki left the promotion in 2004 due to theFeinstein incident, but he returned on July 17, 2004, during a match, where Samoa Joe andthe Briscoe Brothers fought againstThe Rottweilers (Homicide and theHavana Pitbulls).[4] It looked like Low Ki would save Samoa Joe from a beatdown by The Rottweilers, but instead he spat on the ROH Championship, which was then held by Joe, and joined The Rottweilers.[15]
At Weekend of Thunder Night 2 on November 6, 2004, he started a feud with Bryan Danielson, who was Low Ki's partner in a match against Samoa Joe andJushin Thunder Liger. Low Ki and Danielson lost the match and Low Ki blamed his partner for that, so The Rottweilers started a beatdown on Danielson.[16] On December 4, at All Star Extravaganza II, Danielson defeated Homicide of The Rottweilers.[17] In that same event, Low Ki wrestledAustin Aries in a number one contender's match to determine who would face ROH Champion Samoa Joe for the title. The match ended in a draw. Officials extended the match, but Low Ki refused to wrestle, so Aries was declared the winner.[17] Instead of facing Joe at Final Battle 2004, Low Ki wrestled Danielson, but got himself disqualified and then attacked the referee.[4] This was enough for ROH officials to suspend him indefinitely as a result.[15]
Low Ki returned on May 7, 2005, and immediately attackedJay Lethal and Samoa Joe at Manhattan Mayhem with his fellow Rottweilers, Homicide, Julius Smokes,Monsta Mack and Rocky Romero.[18] The impromptu tag team match was made: The Rottweilers vs. Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal. Low Ki and Homicide won the match and injured Lethal with aGhetto Stomp/Cop Killa combination.[4] The feud continued on June 18 at Death Before Dishonor III, where he and Lethal faced each other in a singles match, but it ended in a no contest.[4] They had a rematch on August 12 at Redemption, but the ending was the same and Rottweilers beat Lethal down after the match.[4] Finally, on September 17 at Glory By Honor IV, a "Fight Without Honor" between the two ended with Low Ki getting a pinfall victory over Lethal.[4] After Samoa Joe went on to saveColt Cabana from a beatdown by The Rottweilers, Lethal came out to even the odds and said that he wanted yet another rematch with Low Ki, which Lethal won this time, ending the feud.[4] Later in the year, Low Ki helped Homicide in his feud against Colt Cabana.[4] On December 17, 2005, at Final Battle 2005, he challengedKenta for hisGHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, but came up short.[4] Low Ki left ROH once again in January 2006 due to a "disagreement in business arrangements".[4] He won his last match on January 28 againstJack Evans.[4] ROH covered his leaving by having the ROH commissionerJim Cornette ban Low Ki from Ring of Honor for life after it was discovered that he was the one who knocked Cornette's tooth out at that show.[19] He was also used as a focus point (in name only) in the Cornette/Homicide feud in the summer of 2006, with Cornette refusing to reinstate Low Ki as Homicide's "third wish."[19]
Low Ki's first stint withNWA Total Nonstop Action (NWA TNA) was for its debut show on June 19, 2002, in a six-man tag team match alongside A.J. Styles andJerry Lynn against the Flying Elvises.[4] On June 26, he attempted to become the firstX Division Champion, but was beaten by Styles. He would, though, eventually go on to win the title from Styles on August 7, but lost it three weeks later to Lynn.[4] He would later form theTriple X faction with Christopher Daniels andElix Skipper that year and hold theNWA World Tag Team Championship three times under the "Freebird Rule". Low Ki wrestled beside Skipper when Triple X defeatedAmerica's Most Wanted (Chris Harris andJames Storm) for the title on January 22, 2003.[4] When Daniels's greed for the X Division Championship initially forced Low Ki out of Triple X, Low Ki would go on to battle Daniels inUltimate X, but his pursuit was unsuccessful.[4] He left NWA TNA in July 2004 and made his return to ROH.
Low Ki made his first trip toJapan withPro Wrestling Zero-One in 2002. On September 16, he defeatedLeonardo Spanky for theInternational Junior Heavyweight Championship from him.[4] He held the championship until August 31, 2003, when he lost it toWataru Sakata. During 2003, Low Ki also made several appearances forAll Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW).
Low Ki left Zero-One in mid-2004 to joinPro Wrestling Noah, where he was instantly given a title shot againstGlobal Honored Crown (GHC) Junior Heavyweight ChampionYoshinobu Kanemaru, which he was unable to win.[15] During this period, he represented Noah in MXW Pro Wrestling's Gaijin Battle Series. He later joinedNew Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and joinedShinsuke Nakamura's stableRISE, replacing the injuredMilano Collection A.T.; in his first match back, he suffered a knee injury, which required surgery. Low Ki returned to the promotion in September, defecting from RISE to join New Japan's main villainous faction,Great Bash Heel (GBH).
After joining GBH, he captured theInternational Wrestling Grand Prix (IWGP) Junior Heavyweight Championship fromTiger Mask on September 21, 2008, on NJPW's Circuit 2008 New Japan Generation tour. He subsequently lost it back to Tiger Mask on NJPW'sWrestle Kingdom III show inTokyo on January 4, 2009. After losing the championship, Low Ki made several appearances forHustle.
AtLockdown, Christopher Daniels's mystery opponent was revealed to be the returning Low Ki, who wrestled under the name of Senshi (Japanese for "warrior" or "soldier").[20] Following Lockdown, Senshi was not seen in action for several weeks. Instead, he was built up with a series ofvignettes hyping his background, training, and desire to dominate the X Division once more, hinting at the possibility of challenging the X Division Champion, the undefeated Samoa Joe.
Senshi defeatedAlex Shelley, Jay Lethal,Petey Williams,Shark Boy, andSonjay Dutt atSlammiversary to become the number one contender to the X Division Championship.[21] Senshi went on to become X Division Champion again on the June 22, 2006, episode ofImpact!, defeating Joe and Dutt after he pinned Dutt.[22] He remained undefeated for six months, successfully defending the X Division Championship againstKazarian atVictory Road,[23] Jay Lethal and Petey Williams in a three-way match atHard Justice,[24] andChris Sabin atNo Surrender,[25] before losing the title to Sabin in October atBound for Glory.[26]
Senshi later feuded withAustin Starr. Their feud would continue untilLockdown in aSix Sides of Steel match, which he won.[27] AtSlammiversary, he teamed withRhino to defeatThe Latin American Xchange (LAX).[28] AtVictory Road, Senshi competed in a 10-Man Ultimate X Match, which he lost.[29] After the match, however, Triple X was reformed with Daniels, Senshi, and the returning Skipper.[29] They won their reunion match on the July 19, 2007, episode ofImpact! againstSerotonin.[30]
Triple X faced Lethal and Dutt andThe Motor City Machine Guns atHard Justice in a losing effort.[31] Skipper and Senshi also went on to face LAX atBound for Glory in Ultimate X, ultimately losing.[32]
