Career

Jerrelle Clark became interested in wrestling as a child after watching Lanny Poffo and the The Killer Bees. He was athletic from an early age, studying competitive gymnastics at the age of four. After badly breaking his arm, he moved on to martial arts. In junior high school Clark began amateur wrestling, eventually earning a scholarship (at the same time he also studied competitive diving). He attended Morgan State University, studying towards a BA in Graphic design and a BA in Computer graphics.
Clark began training as a professional wrestler under Jeremy McCulough in 1997, and completed his training in 1998. He then returned to college to finish his degree. After graduating, Clark debuted in Orange City, Florida in 2000 as 'Lil' Balla', losing to Cutthroat Saxon. He continued to wrestle on the independent circuit in Florida, subsidising his income by working as a stuntman in a pirate themed stunt show and for an internet software development company.
Clark worked for several promotions in Florida, including ''IPW Hardcore'' - where he was given a pirate gimmick, renamed 'Cutthroat Skull' and formed a tag team with Cutthroat Bonez called 'The Cutthroats' - and NWA Florida. While he was wrestling for the Orlando-based ''No Name Wrestling'' promotion he received a tryout match with the Nashville-based Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion, facing Elix Skipper in a dark match. The match went well, and Clark wrestled several more dark matches. When TNA relocated their headquarters to Orlando in late 2004 Clark was offered a contract, which he accepted. Clark was then placed in a tag team with Mikey Batts. The Batts/Clark team's most recognized victory was an "X Division Tag Team Dominance" Challenge, finally defeating the team of Shazarian to earn the bragging rights as the "X Division's Most Dominant Tag Team". The team would lose to Shane and Kazarian in a subsequent rematch. The team was separated in October 2005 when Batts was signed to a developmental deal by World Wrestling Entertainment. Left without a partner, Clark became a singles wrestler. On the June 8th edition of TNA iMPACT! Clark lost a match to fellow X-Division wrestler Sonjay Dutt. Weeks later on the July 14 edition of TNA iMPACT!, Clark would lose to the TNA X-Division Champion Senshi in a non-title bout.
