==Professional wrestling career==

Before being called up to the main roster Basham competed in its developmental territory, [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]] (OVW). Doug Basham is in fact the nephew of OVW founder [[Danny Davis]].

===Early career (1993–1996)===

==Career==

{{BLP unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}

===Ohio Valley Wrestling===

Basham made his debut in 1993, wrestling in [[Indiana]] and for [[Independent circuit|independent promotions]] in [[Kentucky]]. In 1994, he wrestled for the [[United States Wrestling Association]] located in [[Tennessee]]. He stayed there until 1996.

Doug was a top [[Face (professional wrestling)|babyface]] in the company winning the OVW Heavyweight Title on a number of occasions.

===Ohio Valley Wrestling (1996–2003, 2005, 2007)===

Doug turned [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] and was involved in a storyline that saw him grow jealous of his uncle's fondness for another OVW Superstar [[Nick Dinsmore]].

{{BLP sources|date=April 2023}}

Before being called up to WWE's main roster, Basham competed in its [[Farm team#Professional wrestling|developmental territory]], [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]]. Basham is the nephew of OVW founder [[Nightmare Danny Davis]]. Basham was a top [[Face (professional wrestling)|fan favorite]] in the company, winning the [[OVW Heavyweight Championship]] on several occasions.<ref name=Doug/>

Basham turned [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villainous]] and was involved in a unique storyline that saw him compete under a mask as Machine (A character inspired by the film [[8mm (film)|8mm]]). The story was that Basham and his real-life uncle and trainer, Danny Davis, had a falling out, which led to Basham quitting the wrestling business. However, as his uncle's other OVW-trained superstars like [[Eugene (wrestler)|Nick Dinsmore]], [[Rob Conway]] and [[Daniel Hollie|Damaja]] began getting opportunities to wrestle on WWE television and become contracted talents, Basham grew resentful and resurfaced as the masked Machine to spoil the opportunities for the other men Davis had trained. Dinsmore would defeat The Machine in a Retirement versus Mask match at the Last Dance on June 27, 2001, and unmask Machine as Doug Basham.

Doug disappeared in late 2000 and came back as a [[wrestling mask|masked man]] known as '''The Machine''' who attacked Nick Dinsmore. Dinsmore would go on to defeat The Machine in a Retirement vs. Mask match and unmask Basham.

Doug "The Machine" Basham went on to create the Revolution [[StableList of (professional wrestling) terms#F|stablefaction]] and [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feuded]] with OVW's top stars. Basham signed a WWE development contract in April 2002 and was soon signed to ''[[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]]!'' in May 2003. In OVW, Doug took credit for "The Basham Brothers" gimmick to get back at Danny, a.k.a. Damaja. The two took part in an epic final encounter that saw Revolution members (including Johnny Spade, [[Muhammad Hassan (wrestler)|Mark Magnus]], and [[Rob Conway]]) handcuffed to Damaja's allies (including Nick Dinsmore and [[Johnny Jeter]]) with [[Matt Morgan]] on the entrance ramp to prevent any more [[List of professional wrestling terms#R|run-ins]]. Damaja was victorious, which led to Doug being forced out of OVW. After the match, Doug disbanded Revolution, causing the members to attack him, and Damaja ran back into the ring armed with a Louisville Slugger to make the save. Doug then embraced former partner Damaja and his uncle, OVW owner Danny Davis, before going to the back and shaking hands with the OVW fans, thus making him a face.

After disappearing offrom WWE TV in September 2005, Doug would returnreturned to OVW under a new gimmick: "The Superstar of Superstars." where heHe came out to the ring using the [[Superman]] theme before signing a new deal with WWE in April 2006.

On March 7, 2007, The Basham Brothers returned to OVW and defeated Wyatt Young and Mike Tolar in a [[List of professional wrestling terms#Dark match|dark match]].

===World Wrestling Entertainment===

Doug Basham entered SmackDown! as one-half of the [[tag team]], [[The Basham Brothers]] with his tag partner [[Danny Holly|Danny Basham]]. The Basham Brothers debuted as a team on [[May 29]], [[2003]] and defeated the team of [[Rikishi]] & [[Brian Kendrick]]. The Basham Brothers were later joined by [[Linda Miles|Shaniqua]]. They were portrayed with a bondage-based S&M gimmick and won their first [[WWE Tag Team Championship]] from [[Los Guerreros]] on the [[October 23]], [[2003]] edition of ''SmackDown!''. The team would go on to lose the titles in February, [[2004]] at ''[[WWE No Way Out|WWE No Way Out 2004]]'' to Rikishi and [[Scott Garland|Scotty Too Hotty]]. The Basham Brothers and Shaniqua faced Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi in a handicap match and lost when Shaniqua was pinned by Rikishi. The Basham Brothers would go on to lose their manger Shaniqua when she was sent to OVW for training not long after No Way Out. For the next few months the Basham Brothers were regulars on ''[[WWE Velocity]]'' despite a few occasions on ''SmackDown!'' generally losing in the outcome.

===World Wrestling Entertainment (2002–2007)===

The Basham Brothers would go on to join [[John Bradshaw Layfield]]'s [[The Cabinet|cabinet]] stable on the [[25 November]] 2004. Known as JBL's '''Co-Secretaries of Defense'''. Their role was often to [[sacrifice]] themselves to prevent Layfield from getting harmed after he had provoked an opponent. The Bashams would once again win Tag Team gold defeating four other teams including [[Rey Mysterio]] and [[Rob Van Dam]], [[Luther Reigns]] and [[Mark Jindrak]], and [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[Booker T]]. The Basham Brothers lost the titles to [[Oscar Gutierrez|Rey Mysterio]] and [[Eddie Guerrero]] at [[WWE No Way Out]] on [[February 20]] [[2005]] from here on The Bashams would either be Jobbing on SmackDown! or defeating any team that came in their path on Velocity. The Basham Brothers quit Layfield's Cabinet on the [[June 16]], [[2005]] episode of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'', claiming that they were tired of being "JBL's [[Crash test dummy|crash test dummies]]" and not getting enough respect.

[[File:Basham Brothers Live in Rosemont.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Basham Brothers]] in 2005]]

On [[June 30]], [[2005]], Danny Basham became one of the last minute trades in the 2005 [[WWE Draft]] lottery, which saw him jump from SmackDown! over to [[WWE RAW]]. This left both men in singles compitition in WWE on different brands. Doug would return to TV on [[August 27]], [[2005]] edition of ''Velocity'' under '''"The Bash Man" Doug Basham''' gimmick. The Bash Man came out to the ring wearing sunglasses, a shiny leather vest, and shiny wool pants. Doug continued to work [[Squash (professional wrestling)|squash matches]] under this unexplained gimmick sporadically over several months.

Basham made his official debut on the May 29, 2003, episode of ''[[WWE SmackDown|SmackDown!]]'' as one-half of the [[tag team]], The [[Basham Brothers]] with his tag partner [[Daniel Hollie|Danny Basham]]. The Basham Brothers debuted as a team on May 29 and defeated the team of [[Rikishi (wrestler)|Rikishi]] and [[Brian Kendrick]]. The Basham Brothers were later joined by [[Linda Miles|Shaniqua]]. They were given a bondage-based S&M [[List of professional wrestling terms#G|gimmick]] and won their first [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWE Tag Team Championship]] from [[Los Guerreros]] on the October 23 edition of ''SmackDown!''. The team would lose the titles on the February 5, 2004, episode of ''SmackDown!'' to Rikishi and [[Scotty 2 Hotty]]. On February 15 at [[No Way Out (2004)|No Way Out]], The Basham Brothers and Shaniqua faced Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi in a [[handicap match]] and lost when Rikishi pinned Shaniqua. The Basham Brothers would lose their manager Shaniqua when she was sent to OVW for training not long after No Way Out. For the next few months, the Basham Brothers were regulars on ''[[WWE Velocity|Velocity]]'' and appeared on a few occasions on ''SmackDown!'' and were generally losing.<ref name="Canoebio">{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Bios/dannybasham.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130101020143/http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Bios/dannybasham.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=January 1, 2013|author=Milner, J|title=Danny Basham|publisher=[[Canadian Online Explorer]]|access-date=May 12, 2007}}</ref>

The Bashams were given a one-off television appearance on ''SmackDown!'' as part of the [[WWE Tough Enough|Tough Enough IV]] qualifiers. The remaining contestants received 30 seconds each to retrieve a flag from the far corner of the ring. Anyone who succeeded within the time limit would be immune from elimination until the next round. However, the Bashams were the obstacles to prevent the challengers from reaching the flag. The Bashams managed to resist all seven finalists consecutively. They also teased hot favorite [[Daniel Puder]] by letting him get within 1 inch of the flag in the final seconds of his turn. (Puder had become the hot favorite one week earlier when he almost defeated a fresh [[Kurt Angle]] in an actual wrestling match in seconds immediately after 3 hours of circuit training specifically designed to wear the contestants out.) Impressed by their performance, the tag team was given a push. The Basham Brothers would go on to join [[John Layfield|John "Bradshaw" Layfield]] (JBL)'s [[The Cabinet (professional wrestling)|Cabinet]] faction on November 25 and became known as JBL's Co-Secretaries of Defense. Their role was often to sacrifice themselves to prevent JBL from getting harmed after he had provoked an opponent. The Bashams would once again win the WWE Tag Team Championship, defeating the teams of [[Rey Mysterio]] and [[Rob Van Dam]], [[Luther Reigns]] and Mark Jindrak, and [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]] in a four-way elimination match in January 2005. The Basham Brothers lost the titles to Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero at [[No Way Out (2005)|No Way Out]] on February 20. The Bashams would then win sporadically on ''SmackDown!'' or defeat any teams they faced on ''Velocity''. The Basham Brothers quit JBL's Cabinet on the June 16, 2005, episode of ''SmackDown!'', claiming that they were tired of being "JBL's [[Crash test dummy|crash test dummies]]" and not getting enough respect.<ref name="Canoebio"/>

While disappearing off WWE TV, Doug would return to [[#Ohio Valley Wrestling|OVW]] for several stints before signing a new deal with WWE in April 2006. Both Doug and Danny would reunite in [[Extreme Championship Wrestling (WWE)|WWE's revived ECW brand]] during July 2006 at several house shows.

On June 30, Danny became one of the last-minute trades in the [[2005 WWE Draft Lottery]], which saw him jump from SmackDown! over to [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]]. This left both men in singles competition in WWE on different brands. Basham would return to television on the August 27 edition of ''Velocity'' under the "Bash Man" gimmick. The Bash Man came out to the ring wearing sunglasses, a shiny leather vest, and shiny wool pants. Basham continued to work [[Squash (professional wrestling)|squash matches]] under this unexplained gimmick sporadically over several months.

[[Dave Meltzer]] reported that the pair of "private security guards" in riot gear, who have recently accompanined [[Paul Heyman]] at ECW events ostensibly to protect him from ECW wrestlers who are angry about his recent actions are the Basham Brothers. On the July 25, 2006 episode of ECW, the guards assaulted [[Nunzio|Little Guido]] under Heyman's orders, signifying that they would be used for more than just "protection".

While disappearing off WWE television, Basham would return to [[Ohio Valley Wrestling|OVW]] for several stints before signing a new deal with WWE in April 2006. Both Basham and Danny would reunite in [[ECW (WWE brand)|WWE's revived ECW brand]] during July 2006 at several [[house show]]s before becoming on-screen unnamed masked [[Enforcer (professional wrestling)|"Security Enforcers"]] for ECW leader [[Paul Heyman]]. When Danny was injured with a torn biceps, he was replaced by [[Derick Neikirk|Derek Neikirk]], who continued Danny's role as the second masked enforcer.

The Security Team's existence was left into question after Heyman was removed from WWE television. The team stayed to compete in one handicap match against [[Bobby Lashley]] before disappearing from TV themselves.
