He wrestled in the United States of America for 12 weeks in late 1999, picking up extra bookings and the offer of work in Puerto Rico.
In 2000, he cut back on wrestling schedule due to a neck injury suffered in the US when the ring collapsed after a move of the top rope.
On 2 August 2003, Knight – who had recently made a comeback to the ring after injury - won the FWA Tag Team Championship with Alex Shane at the Dome in Morecambe.
The title reign was short-lived as Knight and Shane dropped the belts back to The Family two days later at his home ground of Cleethorpes.
In July 2004, Knight began a quest to win back the tag team title, which saw him try out various partners including Dirk Feelgood.
On 18 March 2005, he teamed with long-time friend Doug Williams in a match with Mitsuharu Misawa and Yoshinari Ogawa for BCW in Carluke, Scotland.
The following day at TWC International Showdown, an event that drew 3,500 fans to the Coventry SkyDome, Knight teamed with Stixx and Mark Sloan to lose to Jack Xavier, Aviv Maayan and Ross Jordan.
He and Ricky Knight beat Sam and Darren Burridge by DQ at XWA Last Fight at the Prom on 24 November 2007 in Morecambe.
On 2 February 2008 he had a controversial win in the XWA's annual Goldrush 15-man rumble, lastly eliminating Sam Slam (who had earlier thrown Knight over the top rope when officials were distracted by an outside-ring brawl between Jonny Storm and Johnny Phere).
Knight challenged Jonny Storm for the British heavyweight title at "XWA War on the Shore at The Dome IV", Morecambe, on 12 April but failed to win the belt.
After serving his time as one of the 'wing' contestants opening the boxes for the main gameplayer, he finally got his chance to play the game and take on the Banker on 29 August 2007.
