His first feud began with Marty Martinez after Marty stole his dog tags after a match between them ended in a no contest. He then proceeded to return them to Killshot a week later before a 6-man tag team match for three Aztec medallions which were required for an upcoming Gift of the Gods Championship match for the vacated title. Their team was victorious, however Martinez would then once again steal the dog tags.
