Now a fifteen-year pro, Trevor Mann began to blaze a trail for himself in 2003, when he started competing for Chaos Pro Wrestling<\/strong>. He first competed under the name Cameron Locke<\/strong>, a name that didn’t carry much in the way of excitement or enthusiasm. The only thing that was a ‘lock’ was that ‘The One and Only’ was on an upward trajectory. During that same year, his athleticism was mirrored by the new name he adopted, Ricochet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was in a five-way battle, also involving his trainer Chuck Taylor<\/strong>, that Ricochet had his coming out party. This took place<\/span> while he was competing for Insanity Pro Wrestling<\/strong> in 2006. Ricochet won the match by pinning Taylor. It was later that year that Ricochet first performed a double rotation moonsault<\/span>, from the top of a ladder onto eight other competitors in a tables<\/span>, ladders and chairs match. This unprecedented display<\/span> of aerial excellence occurred while competing for IWA Mid-South<\/strong>. It became the move that he made famous, and it, in turn, made him famous for what he can do in the ring.<\/p>\n

As Helios in CHIKARA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Overall, 2006 was the year he began to turn heads. That year he competed for CHIKARA<\/strong> in their Young Lions<\/strong> tournament. While he did lose in the opening round, it was the opportunity to be a part of it that meant the most. Once again his career was tied to Chuck<\/span> Taylor, as it was his former trainer that defeated him in that opening round match up. Some time later. Ricochet would face Taylor once again in a Young Lions<\/span> Cup versus Career match, and ended up losing again. However, his ‘retirement’ was short-lived as, in grand wrestling tradition, he returned under a mask. He went under the moniker Helios<\/strong>, and while using that name he teamed with other rather unique characters, such as Ring of Honor’s current booker<\/span> Delirious<\/strong>. Helios’ ‘time’ in CHIKARA eventually came to an end, as he was in demand from other promotions.<\/p>\n
