True Honor Wrestling (2012) Edit
Evolution; Pursuit of the THW Evolution Championship Edit
After taking nearly a year away from wrestling, Callahan signed a contract with True Honor Wrestling. Callahan made his debut on the April 3rd, 2012 episode of Evolution and suffered a loss to Justin Feight following the match Callahan speared Feight establishing himself as a heel. On the April 10th, 2012 episode of Evolution Callahan was able to get an upset victory over former THW World Champion and Hall of Famer, Jack Napier. On the April 17th, 2012 episode of Evolution Callahan was able to secure another victory this time over Landon Crabtree. Following his victory Callahan would be attacked by Nick Larsson who was tired of hearing about Callahan's upset victory over Jack Napier the previous week only for the General Manager Julia Rivera to come out and make a match between Larsson and Callahan for Lethal Lottery where the winner will become the number one contender for the THW Evolution Championship.
At Lethal Lottery, Callahan was able to defeat Nick Larsson in an Ultimate X Match to become the number one contender for the THW Evolution Championship currently held by Harley St. James. On the May 1st, 2012 episode of Evolution Callahan teamed with Harley St. James to take on the THW Tag Team Champions in Minimimax and Brian Gun however the two were defeated. Later in the night when Harley was being looked at in the trainers room she would be attacked by Keegan Ryan despite the damage already being done, Callahan would make the save teasing a possible face turn. On the following May 8th, 2012 episode of Evolution Callahan faced Keegan Ryan in a one on one match and was able to pick up the victory after a pretty close contest, in storyline Ryan had started a rumor that Callahan was having an affair with St. James behind their respective partners' backs. Later on in the night on Evolution following Harley St. James' victory over Noah Van Dyke, Keegan Ryan attacked her from behind once again however Callahan ran down for the save and landed a few chair shots to the head of Ryan before going for a one last shot, however Keegan was able to duck out of the way as Callahan drilled St. James by accident.
Callahan would challenge St. James for her Evolution Championship however he would be unsuccessful. Callahan would go on to compete in the annual Gateway to Glory match however he was unsuccessful in his attempt to win the match. On the following episode of Evolution Callahan would face Jack Napier a man he defeated not long after he debuted in what was being billed as a rematch between the two men. Callahan almost had the match won however a timely counter from Napier allowed him to get a victory over Callahan. On the June 12th, 2012 episode of Evolution Callahan was able to get a victory over Noah Van Dyke with some help from Jack Napier, whom Van Dyke is feuding with.
Rivalry with Keegan Ryan and departure Edit
Following Callahan's brief rivalry with Harley St. James and Aiden Reid he has entered into a rivalry with Keegan Ryan which started after Ryan attacked Callahan on the May 22nd, 2012 episode of Evolution. On the June 5th, 2012 episode of Evolution Keegan attempted to attack Lance Harris and set him on fire however Callahan managed to chase off Ryan. The week before Heartbreak Hell, Callahan would suffer a loss to the returning Gemini only to be brutally beaten and bloodied following the match. Later in the night while getting tended to Keegan Ryan would target Callahan, wanting to inflict more damage to him, only to attack his wife as the two are scheduled to meet at Heartbreak Hell. On June 22nd, 2012 Callahan was suddenly released from his contract. When word of Callahan's sudden release, all Callahan had to say regarding the reasons for his departure from THW were "silly and stupid" on the company's part.
