IFW and Mental Breakdown (2000 - 2002)
Having ditched his sea-faring gimmick for a more world weary hunter, he had a fairly fast rise to prominence in the Early days of the new IFW. Viewed as the future of the company well into the next decade, he was gioven a taste of success early in February 2001, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship off Great Helix. Unfortunately, the success was too early for him, and he suffered a breakdown in April of 2001, which forced the IFW to change it's plans for the world title. His symproms were not visible to the public, but he had started arguing with the less experienced members of the roster, and accusing them of not being as talented as himself.

In April, at WrestleFest, he lost to Patrick Lewis, handing the reigns so-to-speak to a tried and trusted champion. In the meantime, Krakken was rested for and given counselling to help with the egotism that had befallen him. He still wrestled during this time, but his appearances were limited to PPV's and Tuesday Takedown. After about a year, the IFW felt that he could handle the pressure and decided to give him a chance at the Continental Championship. To this end, in May 2002 he defeated Travis Williams at Apocalypse 2002, his reign was much more successful and the planned storyline leading to his defeat at Final Curtain 2002 to Extreme Warfare went through successfully.
