O'Neil revealed that he was neighbors with Batista, who had told him where the FCW school was and suggested he go in for a tryout. At the time he wasn't interested because he had his heart set on being a football coach. Then one day he walked into the arena and spoke to Norman Smiley about giving wrestling a try, who told him to come back and talk to Dusty Rhodes or Steve Keirn. He returned for a show later that night with his two sons, and after watching he asked them if wrestling was something they'd like to see him try and they both responded that they would, so he approached Dusty and Steve after the event and met with them.

He signed two weeks later and after passing his physical was immediately in the ring beginning training.
