[5] This would continue for a while, as he would lose to many more opponents, slowly building some steam, before the match got him noticed against Eddie Kingston, who dished out vicious punishment that Donst would survive through, and keep coming back, but still lost.

Following that, he moved on to gain his first victory over Alex Payne,[7] then established himself as a tecnico, confronting other big challenges with tenacity, even breaking his nose.

During his stint with the Neo Solar Temple, he and Hydra formed a tag team and amassed the three points required for a shot at the Campeonatos de Parejas.

The same night Hydra beat UltraMantis, Donst wrestled in a tag match with Mike Quackenbush against STIGMA (the former Shane Storm) and Colin Delaney of the UnStable.

He later explained that he was tired of being undervalued by the tecnicos, specifically Mike Quackenbush, and he told Hydra that he was nothing more than comic relief while he was with the Order, and when they teamed together, it made him look like a joke as well.

The following night at the end of the show, the BDK duo that had been pestering UltraMantis Black and the Order of the Neo Solar Temple for the Eye of Tyr for some time came into the ring.

They called out UltraMantis, and he gave the Eye to his newest recruit Vökoder - a masked man who had debuted at the Young Lions Cup Tournament back in August and became a member of the Order - and entered the ring to confront them.

Jumping to BDK, Donst took with him the inverted Chikara Special, a supposedly unbreakable submission maneuver Quackenbush had taught him as a token of gratitude for infiltrating the Order.

[3][9] After successful defenses against Player Uno, Dasher Hatfield, Soldier Ant and Frightmare, Donst was forced to vacate the title on August 27, 2010, in time for the eighth annual Young Lions Cup tournament.

[15][16] In early 2011, when Ares, Castagnoli and Tursas decided not to enter the 2011 King of Trios, Donst was placed in charge of leading BDK in the tournament.

[20] The following day at Chikara's first internet pay-per-view, High Noon, Donst put his hair and Ares the Eye of Tyr on the line against Hallowicked's and UltraMantis Black's masks in a No Disqualification match.

At the end of the match, Donst abandoned Ares, leaving him to be pinned by UltraMantis, saving his hair, but costing BDK the Eye of Tyr in the process.

[22] On September 15, Donst set his sights on the Chikara Grand Championship, attacking reigning champion Eddie Kingston after his successful title defense against Tadasuke.

[31] On June 11, 2016, he competed in the Annual CZW Tournament of Death, where he was defeated by Ricky Shane Page in the opening match in the bed of a pickup truck.
