World Championship Wrestling (2000-2001)

Along with several other wrestlers, including future tag team partner James Storm, Harris was signed to a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) developmental deal in October 2000. Terry Taylor proposed a country singer gimmick for him, but it was rejected by management (possibly because of similarities to the character of Jeff Jarrett). The highlight of Harris's WCW career was appearing as a fake version of the popular wrestler Sting at Halloween Havoc 2000 (this parody would be repeated in TNA in 2006). He wrestled on the WCW B-shows WorldWide and Saturday Night as part of R and B Security (the "Run and Bump" team) until the promotion was sold in early 2001.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002-2008)

On June 1, 2002, Harris was given a tryout match against his long-time independent circuit rival James Storm with the fledgling wrestling promotion TNA by Bert Prentice.^[1] Both were subsequently signed to short term contracts. He wrestled in the Gauntlet for the Gold match on the first TNA pay-per-view, and was placed in a tag team with James Storm on the second pay-per-view by Bob Ryder, the creative force behind the team. Storm came up with the name "America's Most Wanted" (often shortened to AMW) for the team. They obtained their first success on September 18, 2002 by surviving a tag team Gauntlet for the Gold and defeating Ron Harris and Brian Lee to obtain the NWA World Tag Team Championship^[1] and quickly became the heart of the TNA tag division.

In March and April 2003 the duo teased a split, with Storm and Harris facing off in a singles match on May 7, 2003. Storm won the match, but the partners shook hands afterwards. Harris rejected Vince Russo's offer to join his stable of degenerates, Sports Entertainment Extreme (S.E.X).

When Storm was incapacitated by the recurrence of an old shoulder injury in early 2004, Harris received a NWA World Title shot on March 17, 2004 and was defeated by then champion Jeff Jarrett. He went on to compete in a "King of the Mountain" ladder match for the title on June 2, 2004, but was again bested by Jarrett. America's Most Wanted resumed teaming together, but on August 25, 2004, James Storm was sidelined with neck and shoulder injuries, leaving Harris without a partner. Harris teamed with Elix Skipper to win an NWA Tag Team Title for an unprecedented fifth time on September 8, 2004.^[3] Harris and Storm later reunited.
