In August 2007, Trademarc appeared at Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) Hard Justice pay-per-view as the "new boyfriend" of Karen Angle, later revealed to be a ruse when Karen and Trademarc helped Karen's "estranged" husband Kurt Angle win the match. He appeared again on iMPACT! the next week. While working with TNA he also worked with Dale Oliver to re-record Kurt Angle's entrance music into the hip hop theme "Gold Medal", which Angle would use for the remainder of his time with the promotion. In 2008, he released his first solo debut album Inferiority Complex.
