Dow Jones can be considered one of the original members of IHW. Besides the founders Dow Jones is probably the closest person to being around from the beginning. His IHW debut was against, unfortunatley for him, Choo-Choo Spatula, in the first round of the World Title Tournament. Despite taking and giving many stiff shots during the match he was on the end of a TwO screw job as 7Pac reffed the match and Soap Boy interferred.

Dow would show off his skills at One Night Only by interferring in the Tag Team Title match between Privacy Prefrences and the AOL Puntaz and hitting an implant DDT on Choo-Choo Spatula and align himself with 7Pac. The two would go onto try to capture the Tag Team Titles in the three way dance tag match but would be screwed over by Choo-Choo Spatula. Dow Jones and his alliance with 7Pac and the Starfuckers would eventually end when IHW closed.

When IHW restarted, you guessed it Dow Jones was in the mix. At IHW Backstage he defeated Truck with the Stock Market Crash. Then at Sunday Night Suicide he and 7Pac would swerve Andre the Agassi and beat him down, despite the DQ loss, Dow Jones still came out on top. But just as before his alliance with 7Pac would severe when 7Pac became the Chairman of IHW.

Dow Jones got virtually a bye in the first round of the World Title Tournament as Son of Sam laid down for him. But in the second round he was put to the test and lived up to it as he took DJ Busta to the limit. He would suffer a loss though when he would go for the Stock Market Crash and DJ Busta reversed into a reverse DDT for the win. Dow Jones would feel cheated and would confront 7Pac about it who made him the number one contender to the Transcontinental Title and gave him the shot at the next event.
