Career

Training and independent circuit

After being trained by numerous wrestlers, including Christopher Daniels, Cuntapay began working on the independent circuit. Using the name Benny Chong, he quickly formed a tag team with "Funky" Billy Kim in Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) known as "The Manilla Thrillaz".[1] From 1999 to 2003, he worked for numerous promotions, including Revolution Pro Wrestling, EPIC Pro Wrestling and Golden State Championship Wrestling.[1] He also wrestled for the United Independent Wrestling Alliance, where he won the UIWA Cruiserweight Championship.[1]

In late 2003, B-Boy began working primarily for Combat Zone Wrestling, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, however, he still made numerous appearances for Southern California independent promotions.[1] On July 18, 2003, he competed in the World Power Wrestling (WPW) "Best of the West Tournament", defeating Scorpio Sky and Disco Machine en route to the semi-finals, where his match against Lil' Cholo ended in a draw, sending both of them through to the finals. Cholo won the four-way final to win the tournament.[1] A month later, on August 16, at an All Pro Wrestling (APW) show, B-Boy defeated James Choi to win the APW Internet Championship.[1] Less than a week later, he appeared for Major League Wrestling (MLW), teaming with Nosawa in a loss to Jose and Joel Maximo.[2]

On January 31, 2004, B-Boy went to Essen, Germany to competed for the Germany-based promtion Westside Xtreme Wrestling, and lost to X-Dream in a four-way match that also contained Thumbtack Jack and Steve Douglas.[3] In June he competed in the JCW J-Cup Tournament, making it to the final by defeating Chris Idol and Josh Daniels, before losing to Super Dragon. The next month, he made his first appearance for Ring of Honor (ROH), losing to Josh Daniels in the main event on July 17 at Do or Die III.[4] On August 6, 2004, he competed in the WPW "Best of the West Tournament" for the seond consecutive year, defeating Jardi Frantz in the final to win.[1]
