Big Dog Barber debuted with 3XW at Meltdown in September 2005. Brought to Meltdown by his good friend Gage Octane to help protect Gage's valet Vixen at ringside, Big Dog took care of business in a big way. At Grave Circumstances , Big Dog revealed his true colors. During the main event tag team match Big Dog revealed himself to be the dastardly "Masked Man" that had been helping Brian Ash in all of his matches, starting at July 2005's Genesis, when he helped Ash defeat Billy Gunn to become the first 3XW Heavyweight champion. Having betrayed Gage Octane in the process , this spurred a war between Barber and Octane. This feud led to a "No Holds Barred" match at November 2005's Fall Out event. In that match Ash paid Barber back by helping him defeat Gage Octane for the 3XW North American title. Big Dog's last match with 3XW was at February 2006's Road to Glory in which he faced Brian Ash in a title vs. title match. One of the best matches 3XW had up until that point, one of the highlights of the match was Big Dog executing a "Canadian Destroyer" type maneuver on Ash. Big Dog has also wrestled for NEW and IPW in the state of Iowa.
