Professional wrestling career
Prime Time Wrestling (2022-2023)
Debut and first feuds
Samson made his debut in Prime Time Wrestling at Underground 4. He adopted a "Top Gun" persona, heavily inspired by the famous Tom Cruise movie of the same name. He portrayed a strictly babyface persona, and quickly gained a lot of popularity thanks to his agility and high-risk manouvers despite having a rather powerhouse physique. For most of 2022 he maintained a strong midcard position with an average win-loss record. Samson even got involved in a short feud against Syriusz Dziedzic, who was set to face him at PTW 3: Legends. The plan was, however, scrapped after Wiktor Longman - who was on Syriusz's payroll - attacked and injured Samson.
Samsonito and departure
In 2023 Samson maintained his position in the midcard of most PTW shows. A brief storyline with Marcelito emerged, when their match at Underground 15 was disrupted by Iskra. A rematch between the two took place at PTW #4: The Mystery. At PTW x RyuCon 2, he faced a member of Sinister Kingdom, Krampus. He was then attacked by Dziedzic and Sinister, but they were chased off by Marcelito and Nano Lopez. This led to Samson allying with Marcelito, to form "Samsonito", who then feuded with Sinister Kingdom. The story was cut short, as Samson made his last apperance for PTW at Underground 20 in December 2023.
Shortly after that last appearance, Samson left PTW. In an interview published on the "Wrestling Polska" YouTube channel, Samson stated that his departure was caused by a dispute with PTW's owner Arkadiusz Pawłowski over finances and overall poor talent treatment from Pawłowski's side. The interview has since been taken down.
PpW Ewenement (2024-present)
Debut
After his depature from PTW, Samson joined Warsaw-based PpW Ewenement as part of the "Prime Time Transfers" deal made by Mister Z, followed later by other ex-PTW talent. He made his debut at Miasto Bezprawia where he defeated Asara and Shadow in a Triple Threat Match. He then took part in another Three Way Match at Ewenement Haze where his victory was stolen from him by Gustav's personal trainer - Jakub Linde. His third, and fist singles match took place at Ledwo Legalne IV where his opportunity to win the UEWA Championship from Robert Star was denied after his opponent hit a Low Blow on him.
Feud with Gustav Gryffin
Frustrated over being denied a victory twice by various shenanigans, Samson challenged Mister Z for a match at Ale Grzeje. He managed to win this fight and started a rivalry with Gustav Gryffin, recently crowned PpW Champion.
They faced each other in a series of three matches. The first one at Hardcore Friday X4 was an non-title Match which ended in a double count-out. They faced each other again a month later at Hardcore Friday 2 in an Anarchy Cyclone Tag-Team Match where Samson teamed up with Johnny Blade against Gustav and Isnorr. Samson lost this match after being tied to the turnbuckle with leather straps by Gustav.
This led to the final match in their trilogy at Co Za Noc where he finally faced Gustav in a Strap Match, with the PpW Championship on the line. He was unable to win this fight, losing by submission. In a post-match interview, he confessed that his self-esteem is seriously damaged, and that he would need some time off from PpW.
Maniac Zone Wrestling (2024)
Samson made a one-off apperance in Maniac Zone Wrestling, where he faced Marco Hammers at MZW No Time to Die in October 2024.
Other appearances
In 2024, Samson, along with Axel Fox and other Polish talent, trained at WxW Academy in Gelsenkirchen, and worked as ringcrew during their major "16 Carat Gold" event in March in Oberhausen.
