With a career spanning over a decade, Hollie is most recognized for his impressive stint in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Hollie began his wrestling journey in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), a renowned developmental territory for WWE. Under the ring name Damaja, he made his debut in 1998 and quickly rose through the ranks, capturing the OVW Tag Team Championship alongside David C. in 1999. Hollie's impressive performances in OVW earned him three OVW Championship titles, defeating notable wrestlers like Nick Dinsmore, Flash Flanagan, and Nova.
In 2000, Hollie made a few appearances on WWF Jakked and in dark matches under the ring name Danny Holliday. However, it was in 2003 that he made his WWE television debut as Danny Basham, teaming up with Doug Basham to form the Basham Brothers. The duo, managed by Shaniqua, adopted a bondage-based SM gimmick, often switching places mid-match to gain an advantage. This unique tactic led to their first WWE Tag Team Championship win over Los Guerreros in 2003.
After leaving WWE in 2006, Hollie transitioned to TNA, where he wrestled under the ring name Damaja. During his time in TNA, he continued to impress audiences with his athleticism and in-ring prowess.
