They build a ring using beds and ladders as turnbuckles. Anderson and Anwar were the only to who followed their wrestling dreams (eventually teaming up in VCW). Anwar and Anderson went to the Australian School of Wrestling (in which Anderson became a trainer). Anderson had more wrestling skill than Anwar which got Anderson a ticket to the USA. Anwar went to train as a Muai Thai fighter fighting in only two matches in which he lost by TKO each time. Anwar used the Muai Thai and Wrestling skills to open up oppotunities in wrestling.

Anwar made his debut against (along side JLA) the Backwater Boyz resulting in Anwar's first win in his debut match. JLA and Anwar continued wrestling together under the name the Crash City Rockers. VCW wanted to use CCR as faces but the crowd decided that they were better as Tweeners constantly changing between Heels when feuding against faces and vice versa.

CCR had a feud with the Roman Brothers who after the feud disappeared of VCW's broadcasts.

Anwar and JLA feuded for two months before Anwar showing he was the better of the two. The Crash City Rockers were breaking down backstage with Anwar and Millie Amazing constantly fighting. The final straw was when Anwar hit Millie and Steve came to help he was pushed into a table before being hit himself. After this all four members of the Crash City Rockers were suspended and JLA hasn't came back. After the team split only Anwar has had any sucess while Millie has been on and off wrestling and Steve being released.

Anwar Vs. Diamondeye
Anwar on his return started to call out VCW wrestlers with no one answering the call for a few weeks Anwar decide to ask fans to wrestle against him (kayfabe) with Anwar dominating each week before Diamondeye answering the call. Anwar and Diamondeye had a war of words backing themselves in the ring. Anwar went on a rant about how he would dominate Diamondeye before an imposter Diamondeye entered the arena and Anwar dropped him and locked in the Star Power. Diamondeye ran into the arena and tried to attack Anwar who was too quick. Anwar, Diamondeye and Jameson were in the Number One Contenders match for the VCW Heavyweight championship in which Diamondeye won.

Anwar Vs. The Taylor Family
On Steve Taylor's debut on Longshot, Steve started a speech in which was stuffed around a bit so Anwar sick of watching the rookie struggle Anwar cut the Taylor's off.

Hiatus
During Anwar's break from the sport he had been working on getting fitter without the use of drug's to enhance his muscle building.

 * 1-Time Australian-American Tag Team Champion (w/ JLA)

Wrestling Style
Since the beginning of Anwar's career he has kept a similar style focusing on the high risk diving moves which first attracted the crowds back in Vegas Championship Wrestling which gained the Crash City Rockers a large following. After Anwar and JLA split midway through 2009 Anwar went back to the gym and focused more on traditional moves and less on diving moves which were causing injury to himself. Anwar spent day and night working on new moves and building muscle debuting his new move-set in his first match in Full Metal Wrestling's feeder league New Era Wrestling. Anwar was largely criticized for turning his back on the style that made him famous and opened doors for his USA wrestling career. Anwar often pays homage to his former style and tag team partner JLA by pulling off frog splashes and moonsults in major wrestling matches.

Personal Life
Anwar currently divides his time between homes in Melbourne, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. It is known that Anwar is a Miami Heat and Chicago Bull season ticket holder often being seen at Chicago/Miami games.

On October 16, 2009, Anwar punched a fan after she spat at him with fans outside the Circus Circus Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada after a night out with fellow VCW superstars. As a result of the incident, police detained Anwar and the woman, but released them without charge. Police later announced that they would not press charges against anyone in the brawl as it was "hard to determine who provoked who".

On January 17, 2010, Anwar and former tag-team partner Jerry Anderson (better known as JLA "The Stooge") were arrested in Miami, Florida after leaving a Miami Heat basketball game. A police report stated that Anwar punched Anderson and the other passengers in the cab. The two were given tickets for public intoxication and released. On January 28th, 2010 after not going to court or paying his ticket, Miami Police issued an arrest warrant for the TWR star. However, later that day the court dropped the warrant saying that earlier that day Anwar had paid the ticket. Only weeks later TWR staff addressed the issue of Anwar's drug abuse and alcoholism that he was moved from his former home in Miami, FL and moved to Chicago in which Anwar regularly attended a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic.
