In June 2003,The Monster” Abyss debuted as a heel and attacked Jeff Hardy, although the feud was short lived as Hardy no showed their first match, resulting in a suspension. Afterwards, Parks was brought in as a bodyguard to Kid Kash. They continued to be allies until October, when Kash berated Abyss for losing a match and Abyss turned on and attacked Kash. Abyss gained a victory over Kash, but then lost a First Blood Steel Chair on a Pole match to his former partner. Soon after the loss the feud between the two ended.

Soon after, Abyss aligned himself with Don Callis. With this new alliance, Abyss soon feuded with Raven. The feud lasted for the rest of 2003, with the final match pitting Abyss and the Red Shirt Security (Kevin Northcutt and Legend) against Raven and The Gathering in a Steel Cage match. Abyss and his team came out victorious when the Gathering turned on Raven. Going into 2004, Abyss entered his first major feud with A.J. Styles. On one show, Abyss was forced to team with Styles in a NWA World Tag Team Championship match against champions Red Shirt Security. Styles and Abyss won the titles, even when Abyss abandoned Styles near the beginning of the match. Abyss defeated Styles in a normal match the following show, and on the next gained control of the titles, defeating Styles in a Four Corners Tables match (Abyss was later stripped of the titles). The following show, both men fought to a no-contest in a Falls Count Anywhere match. The next show, Abyss defeated Styles again, this time in a Ladder match to become the top contender to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Abyss lost the right to Raven in a match that also involved Styles and Ron Killings. About a month after the feud with Styles, Abyss received a new manager, Goldy Locks. She used Abyss to defeat her ex-boyfriend Erik Watts to win his contract. She kept using Abyss to win contracts for her, while also adding Alex Shelley to her group to assist.

However, Goldylocks pampered Shelley and treated Abyss poorly. Watts returned for revenge, with Abyss, Shelley, and Goldylocks taking on Watts, Sonny Siaki, and Desire in a Six Person Mixed Tag Team match. During the match, Abyss turned on his team, attacking Goldylocks, and leaving the match and her for good.

Not long after separating from Goldylocks, Abyss began to feud with Monty Brown and Raven. The feud escalated into the first ever Monster’s Ball match at TNA’s first monthly pay per view, Victory Road. At Victory Road, Brown won the unique match when he pinned Raven. Abyss and Brown continued to feud until they met in a Serengeti Survival match at Turning Point, when Brown again came out victorious. Abyss also happened to take part in an incident at Universal Studios between TNA and World Wrestling Entertainment.

On the February 14 2008 edition of Impact!, Abyss, who was scheduled for a match against Scott Steiner left the ring before the match, because of the beating he took at Against All Odds, but before leaving through the tunnel, Abyss, without showing his face, took off his mask. The official TNA web site had taken Abyss off the roster list. On the May 15th edition of Impact! Abyss showed a short video were he was locked in an insane asylum and doctors told the viewers that he was almost cured from his insanity and that he will be able to return home soon. On May 22nd edition of Impact! Abyss made another promo in the asylum. In a promo, Abyss says “I am Chris Parks but Abyss will always be in me!”. He then says that it’s time for Abyss to go home. On May 28th Abyss made a promo saying the doctors have finally cured him and that he will be released in 10 days,meaning that he will return on June 8th at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s Pay-Per-View, Slammiversary 2008.

Abyss has made it clear that he is coming home at Slammiversary after his promo on 5th June on Impact. At the end of the promo he went to the door and you could hear a buzz to open the door.

Abyss returned to action at Slammiversary 2008 after the X Division Championship match wearing a white asylum uniform with his inmate number and his last name ‘Park’ on the back and a new grey and black mask. He came to the ring attacking Petey Williams, Scott Steiner, and Rhaka Khan by performing a Black Hole Slam on each of them, and then carrying the injured Kaz out of the arena. Since then, Abyss has not had any matches, but has made after-match run-ins to save other faces from assaults by heels. Though when he gets his hands on weapons he seems to hesitate and drop the weapons.
