He dreamed of becoming a wrestler for All Japan after watching the legendary matches between Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu, and in a way got that dream when he began touring with the All Japan breakaway group, NOAH, in 2001, where he and protégé, Donovan Morgan, formed a tag team.

Modest captured the GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title belt in 2003, and held it for several months before finally losing to Takashi Sugiura at the 9/12/03 Budokan show. |
