== Professional wrestling career ==
=== Early career and training (1998–2002) ===
Silvestry began wrestling in late 1998 under the ring name Low Ki, which he derived from the lyrics of the song "[[No Diggity]]". He began wrestling for [[Jersey All Pro Wrestling]] (JAPW) in 1998, challenging [[Homicide (wrestler)|Homicide]] and Kane D for the [[JAPW Tag Team Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|title=JAPW results 1998|url=http://www.japw.net/main/history/1998.php|work=[[Jersey All Pro Wrestling]]|accessdate=2010-06-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314194247/http://www.japw.net/main/history/1998.php|archive-date=2012-03-14|url-status=dead}}</ref> The following year he challenged for the [[JAPW Light Heavyweight Championship]] twice, unsuccessfully, but defeated Crazy Ivan and Judas Young to win the second Best of the Light Heavyweights tournament.<ref>{{cite web|title=JAPW results 1999|url=http://www.japw.net/main/history/1999.php|work=[[Jersey All Pro Wrestling]]|accessdate=2010-06-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323113405/http://www.japw.net/main/history/1999.php|archive-date=2010-03-23|url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 2000, he began making several appearances in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] on their programs [[WWF Jakked/Metal|''Metal'' and ''Jakked'']], where he competed against the likes of [[Raven (wrestler)|Raven]], [[Crash Holly]], [[Christian (wrestler)|Christian]] and [[Mr. Águila|Essa Ríos]].<ref name=OWOW>{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/k/kaval.html|title=Kaval|accessdate=2010-08-31|work=Online World of Wrestling|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100825202120/http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/k/kaval.html|archivedate=2010-08-25}}</ref> The following year he made it through to the finals of [[All Pro Wrestling]]'s King of the Indies tournament, losing the crown to [[Daniel Bryan|American Dragon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allprowrestling.com/apwgarage/01results.html|title=All Pro Wrestling 2001 Results|accessdate=2009-07-08|work=[[All Pro Wrestling]]}}</ref> It was also during 2001 that he defeated [[Nick Berk]] and Homicide in separate matches on the same evening to win both the [[JAPW Heavyweight Championship|JAPW Heavyweight]] and Light Heavyweight Titles; he would successfully defend both titles in separate matches at their Fourth Anniversary Show later that month in July. He lost both titles in a Three Way match the following month to Homicide, with [[Xavier (wrestler)|Xavier]] as the other competitor.<ref>{{cite web|title=JAPW results 2001|url=http://www.japw.net/main/history/2001.php|work=[[Jersey All Pro Wrestling]]|accessdate=2010-06-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323113415/http://www.japw.net/main/history/2001.php|archive-date=2010-03-23|url-status=dead}}</ref>
=== Ring of Honor (2002–2006) ===
[[File:Brandon "Lo Ki" Silvestry.jpg|thumb|Low Ki in the ring in 2008.]]
Low Ki made his [[Ring of Honor]] (ROH) debut at its first show, The Era of Honor Begins, on February 23. In the show's main event, he defeated [[Daniel Bryan|Bryan Danielson]] and "The Fallen Angel" [[Christopher Daniels]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/58574|title=ROH – The Era of Honor Begins DVD Review|date=2007-10-04|last=Ziegler|first=Jacob|accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> On July 27, 2002, at Crowning a Champion, he became the first ever [[ROH World Championship|ROH Champion]] by defeating Daniels, [[Brian Kendrick|Spanky]] and [[Doug Williams (wrestler)|Doug Williams]] in a Four Way Ironman match.<ref name="ROHworld"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/33227/411-Video-Review:-Ring-Of-Honor:-Crowning-A-Champion..htm|title=411 Video Review: Ring Of Honor: Crowning A Champion.|date=2003-07-01|last=Barron|first=Bob|accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> On August 24, Low Ki successfully defended his title against [[A.J. Styles]].<ref name="ROHworld"/> On September 21, at Unscripted, he lost the title to Xavier, who, after winning the title, became a member of Daniels's [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|faction]] [[The Prophecy (professional wrestling)|The Prophecy]].<ref name="ROHworld"/><ref name="Accelerator">{{cite web|url=http://www.accelerator3359.com/Wrestling/bios/lowki.html|title=Accelerator: Low-Ki Biography|accessdate=2007-07-13}}</ref> Low Ki then faced [[Samoa Joe]] on October 5 in what was Joe's official ROH debut in a "[[Fight Without Honor]]". In what resembled more of an [[Mixed martial arts|MMA]] fight, Low Ki won the match and they shook hands after the match.<ref name=OWOW/> Low Ki left the promotion in 2004 due to the Feinstein incident, but he returned on July 17, 2004, during a match, where Samoa Joe and [[the Briscoe Brothers]] fought against [[The Rottweilers]] ([[Homicide (wrestler)|Homicide]] and the [[Havana Pitbulls]]).<ref name=OWOW/> It looked like Low Ki would save Samoa Joe from a beatdown by The Rottweilers, but instead he spat on the ROH Championship, which was then held by Joe, and joined The Rottweilers.<ref name="Accelerator"/>
At Weekend of Thunder Night 2 on November 6, 2004, he started a feud with Bryan Danielson, who was Low Ki's partner in a match against Samoa Joe and [[Jushin Thunder Liger]]. Low Ki and Danielson lost the match and Low Ki blamed his partner for that, so The Rottweilers started a beatdown on Danielson.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/33317/ROH-%C3%B1-Weekend-Of-Thunder-Night-2:-November-6,-2004,-Elizabeth,-New-Jersey.htm|title=ROH – Weekend Of Thunder Night 2: November 6, 2004, Elizabeth, New Jersey|date=2005-05-14|last=Ziegler|first=Jacob|author2=Garoon, Brad |accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> On December 4, at All Star Extravaganza II, Danielson defeated Homicide of The Rottweilers.<ref name=ASEII>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/33322/ROH:-All-Star-Extravaganza-II:--December-4,-2004:-Elizabeth,-New-Jersey.htm|title=ROH: All Star Extravaganza II: December 4, 2004: Elizabeth, New Jersey|date=2005-05-28|last=Ziegler|first=Jacob|author2=Garoon, Brad |accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> In that same event, Low Ki wrestled [[Austin Aries]] in a number one contender's match to determine who would face ROH Champion Samoa Joe for the title. The match ended in a draw. Officials extended the match, but Low Ki refused to wrestle, so Aries was declared the winner.<ref name=ASEII/> Instead of facing Joe at Final Battle 2004, Low Ki wrestled Danielson, but got himself disqualified and then attacked the referee.<ref name=OWOW/> This was enough for ROH officials to suspend him indefinitely as a result.<ref name="Accelerator"/>
Low Ki returned on May 7, 2005 and immediately attacked [[Jay Lethal]] and Samoa Joe at Manhattan Mayhem with his fellow Rottweilers, Homicide, Julius Smokes, [[Steve Mack|Monsta Mack]] and Rocky Romero.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/33288/ROH---Manhattan-Mayhem-May-7,-2005:-Manhattan,-New-York.htm|title=ROH – Manhattan Mayhem May 7, 2005: Manhattan, New York|date=2005-06-15|last=Ziegler|first=Jacob|author2=Garoon, Brad |accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> The impromptu tag team match was made: The Rottweilers vs. Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal. Low Ki and Homicide won the match and injured Lethal with a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Diving double foot stomp|Ghetto Stomp]]/[[Piledriver (professional wrestling)#Vertebreaker|Cop Killa]] combination.<ref name=OWOW/> The feud continued on June 18 at Death Before Dishonor III, where he and Lethal faced each other in a singles match, but it ended in a no contest.<ref name=OWOW/> They had a rematch on August 12 at Redemption, but the ending was the same and Rottweilers beat Lethal down after the match.<ref name=OWOW/> Finally, on September 17 at Glory By Honor IV, a "Fight Without Honor" between the two ended with Low Ki getting a pinfall victory over Lethal.<ref name=OWOW/> After Samoa Joe went on to save [[Colt Cabana]] from a beatdown by The Rottweilers, Lethal came out to even the odds and said that he wanted yet another rematch with Low Ki, which Lethal won this time, ending the feud.<ref name=OWOW/> Later in the year, Low Ki helped Homicide in his feud against Colt Cabana.<ref name=OWOW/> On December 17, 2005, at Final Battle 2005, he challenged [[Kenta Kobayashi|Kenta]] for his [[GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship]], but came up short.<ref name=OWOW/> Low Ki left ROH once again in January 2006 due to a "disagreement in business arrangements".<ref name=OWOW/> He won his last match on January 28 against [[Jack Evans (wrestler)|Jack Evans]].<ref name=OWOW/> ROH covered his leaving by having the ROH commissioner [[Jim Cornette]] ban Low Ki from Ring of Honor for life after it was discovered that he was the one who knocked Cornette's tooth out at that show.<ref name=DBDIV>{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/45924/ROH---Death-Before-Dishonor-IV-DVD-Review.htm|title=ROH – Death Before Dishonor IV DVD Review|date=2006-10-03|last=Ziegler|first=Jacob|author2=Garoon, Brad |accessdate=2010-03-09|work=411Mania}}</ref> He was also used as a focus point (in name only) in the Cornette/Homicide feud in the summer of 2006, with Cornette refusing to reinstate Low Ki as Homicide's "third wish."<ref name=DBDIV/>
=== Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002–2004) ===
Low Ki's first stint with [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA) was for its debut show on June 19, 2002, in a six-man tag team match alongside A.J. Styles and [[Jerry Lynn]] against the Flying Elvises.<ref name=OWOW/> On June 26, he attempted to become the first [[TNA X Division Championship|X Division Champion]], but was beaten by Styles. He would, though, eventually go on to win the title from Styles on August 7, but lost it three weeks later to Lynn.<ref name=OWOW/> He would later form the [[Triple X (professional wrestling)|Triple X]] faction with Christopher Daniels and [[Elix Skipper]] that year and hold the [[NWA World Tag Team Championship]] three times under the "[[Fabulous Freebirds#Freebird Rule|Freebird Rule]]". Low Ki wrestled beside Skipper when Triple X defeated [[America's Most Wanted (professional wrestling)|America's Most Wanted]] ([[Chris Harris (wrestler)|Chris Harris]] and [[James Storm]]) for the title on January 22, 2003.<ref name=OWOW/> When Daniels's greed for the X Division Championship initially forced Low Ki out of Triple X, Low Ki would go on to battle Daniels in [[Ultimate X match|Ultimate X]], but his pursuit was unsuccessful.<ref name=OWOW/> He left TNA in July 2004 and made his return to ROH.
=== Japan (2002–2009) ===
[[File:Low-ki man....jpg|thumb|right|Low Ki wrestling [[Kenta Kobashi]].]]
Low Ki made his first trip to [[Japan]] with [[Pro Wrestling Zero1|Pro Wrestling Zero-One]] in 2002. On September 16, he defeated [[Brian Kendrick|Leonardo Spanky]] for the [[Zero1 International Junior Heavyweight Championship|International Junior Heavyweight Championship]] from him.<ref name=OWOW/> He held the championship until August 31, 2003, when he lost it to [[Wataru Sakata]]. During 2003, Low Ki also made several appearances for [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]] (AJPW).
Low Ki left Zero-One in mid-2004 to join [[Pro Wrestling Noah]], where he was instantly given a title shot against [[GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship|Global Honored Crown (GHC) Junior Heavyweight Champion]] [[Yoshinobu Kanemaru]], which he was unable to win.<ref name="Accelerator"/> During this period, he represented Noah in MXW Pro Wrestling's Gaijin Battle Series. He later joined [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]] (NJPW) and joined [[Shinsuke Nakamura]]'s stable [[RISE (professional wrestling)|RISE]], replacing the injured [[Milano Collection A.T.]]; in his first match back, he suffered a knee injury, which required surgery. Low Ki returned to the promotion in September, defecting from RISE to join New Japan's main villainous faction, [[Great Bash Heel]] (GBH).
After joining GBH, he captured the [[IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship|International Wrestling Grand Prix (IWGP) Junior Heavyweight Championship]] from [[Tiger Mask IV|Tiger Mask]] on September 21, 2008 on NJPW's Circuit 2008 New Japan Generation tour. He subsequently lost it back to Tiger Mask on NJPW's [[Wrestle Kingdom III]] show in [[Tokyo]] on January 4, 2009. After losing the championship, Low Ki made several appearances for [[Hustle (professional wrestling)|Hustle]].
=== Return to TNA (2006–2008) ===
At [[Lockdown (2006)|Lockdown]], Christopher Daniels's mystery opponent was revealed to be the returning Low Ki, who wrestled under the name of Senshi (Japanese for "warrior" or "soldier").<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2006/04/24/1547992.html|title=Lockdown not a letdown|date=2006-04-24|last=Sokol|first=Chris|accessdate=2009-01-31|work=Slam! Sports|publisher=[[Canadian Online Explorer]]}}</ref> Following Lockdown, Senshi was not seen in action for several weeks. Instead, he was built up with a series of [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Vignette|vignettes]] hyping his background, training, and desire to dominate the X Division once more, hinting at the possibility of challenging the X Division Champion, the undefeated Samoa Joe.
Senshi defeated [[Alex Shelley]], Jay Lethal, [[Petey Williams]], [[Shark Boy]], and [[Sonjay Dutt]] at [[Slammiversary (2006)|Slammiversary]] to become the number one contender to the X Division Championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2006/06/19/1641005.html|title=Title held up after TNA Slammiversary|date=2006-06-19|last=Sokol|first=Chris|accessdate=2009-01-31|work=Slam!

Senshi later feuded with [[Austin Aries|Austin Starr]]. Their feud would continue until [[Lockdown (2007)|Lockdown]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Cages|Six Sides of Steel match]], which he won.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/PPVReports/2007/04/16/4034252.html|title=Lockdown pulled down by gimmick matches|date=2007-04-16|last=Sokol|first=Chris|accessdate=2009-01-31|work=Slam!

During December 2007, it was reported that Senshi had submitted his resignation to TNA and he left the promotion shortly after.

Ki was scheduled to face Alberto for the title at Bound for Glory, but since Impact stripped him from the title, the match was cancelled. Instead, Eli Drake was crowned new champion and Johnny Impact was pointed as the challenger at Bound for Glory. On August 23, it was reported that Silvestry had parted ways with GFW. Sources agreed that Silvestry had made the decision to leave, but disagreed whether the departure was over financial or creative differences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pwinsider.com/article/111853/low-ki-gone-from-gfw.html?p=1|title=Low Ki gone from GFW| accessdate=August 23, 2017|work=Pro Wrestling Insider}}</ref>
