Stampede Wrestling

He joined Stampede Wrestling under the ring name "Pistol" Pete Wilson. He later changed his ring name to "Pyro" Pete Wilson and formed a tag team with Phoenix Taylor known as "Fast and Furious". On June 17, 2005, Wilson defeated Gama Singh, Jr. and Dandy Myers in a three way match to win the vacant British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Championship.^[1][3] On November 4, 2005, Wilson teamed with "Ravenous" Randy Myres to defeat the New Karachi Vice (Singh, Jr. and Tiger Raj Singh) for the International Tag Team Championship, making Wilson a double champion.^[1][2][4] After successful title defenses against Harry Smith and TJ Wilson, and Dusty Adonis and Blanco Negro Dragon, they lost the titles on December 16, 2005, when Karachi Vice defeated them.^[2] After losing the tag team titles, Myres and Wilson split as a team and began feuding throughout March and April 2006.^[2] Wilson gained three victories over Myres, including one by disqualification, and one in a tables match.^[2][5][6] He later dropped the British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight Championship]] to Myres on May 26, 2006, after holding it for nearly a year.^[3][7] On July 28, 2006, Wilson won the International Tag Team Championship for the second time, with Juggernaut, by defeating Duke Durrango and Chris Steele.^[4] Wilson, however, received a legitimate injury in November 2006, and could not compete, so TJ Wilson replaced him as one half of the tag team champions.^[4]

Wilson returned to Stampede on September 7, 2007, as a heel, defeating Brady Roberts. After the match, he went on a leave of absence, before returning on November 16, 2007, to defeat Scotty "The Body" Putty. He continued to appear in Stampede throughout 2008, losing to Teddy Hart on February 15 at My Bloody Valentine. He also competed against Chucky Blaze, and at Carnage In Acadia on April 26, the match went to a no contest, after Blaze performed his finishing move on Wilson through a table.
