They held the title until November 7, when they were defeated by 3Live Kru (represented by Konnan and B.G. James) on Victory Road. They again won the title a month later at Turning Point on 5 December, defeating B.G. James and Ron Killings.
Young and Roode began hostile to America's Most Wanted in early 2005, and lost the NWA World Tag Team Championship to America's Most Wanted on January 16 in Final Resolution. Young started working with Team Canada member Petey Williams, and on April 24, 2005 they failed to challenge America's Most Wanted for the NWA World Tag Team Championship at Lockdown. After defeating Apolo and Sonny Siaki at Hard Justice on May 15, Williams and Young challenged and lost to the World Team NWA World Champions Team The Naturals at Slammiversary on June 19th.
The Canadian team started feuding with The Naturals and Lance Hoyt, with Young, Roode, and A-1 defeating Hoyt and The Naturals at No Surrender on July 17th. America Most Wanted formed a loose alliance with The Naturals against the Canadian Team, with Young, Roode, Williams and A-1 defeating The Naturals and America's Most Wanted at TNA Sacrifice on August 14th. After Williams updated his pursuit in the Division X Championship, Young began working with A-1 on a regular basis.

The long-standing feud between Tim Canada and the 3Live Kru ended at the Turning Point on December 11 when Young, Williams, Roode and A-1 beat Crew and Kip James ("4Live Crew") after Konnan turned his comrades up.
After TNA's debut at Spike TV in October 2005, Young adopted a new character that is very paranoid and scared of almost anything and anyone. The character was introduced at the Artificial funeral staged by Planet Jarrett for the 3D Team on October 15, 2005 Impact! , when Young was surprised after Abyss destroyed a box of tissues offered to him, and then speculated that the burial chamber was haunted by a ghost named "Katie", a tongue-in-cheek reference to the WWE storyline "Katie Vick". The simplest things start scaring Young, including the fireworks that accompany the entrance of Team Canada. This character draws comparisons with South Park Tweek and Butters characters, and is often used for comic relief. During an interview on World X-Cup by SoCal Val during TNA Global Impact! Young says "The stranger scares me, they come from another country, and I do not know how to deal with that."
Two weeks after Sting and Christian Cage beat Jeff Jarrett and Monty Brown in Final Resolution, Sting made his Impact! and announced his resignation. Jarrett wasted no time by pointing out that "after a game with me, Sting took his ball and headed home," and most Planet Jarrett agreed with the assessment. Young, however, becomes convinced that Sting is not lost, and evokes the anger of Jarrett and Scott D'Amore by often expressing that belief. In an effort to persuade Young that Sting had left, Jarrett commissioned Alex Shelley to get a tape of Sting at home with his children; However, this fails to dispel Young's fears. He insisted that Sting would come back and get each one of them, he would even go so far as to insist that fellow Planet member Jarrett should not call him with the nickname "Showtime" again, because of Sting's slogan "" It's showtime, folks! Younger lost to Sting on the main event 13 April 2006 Impact!
Paranoia Young does not always hinder her ability during matches She remains aggressive (even puts people through the table), will not hesitate to deceiving, and not afraid to take advantage of outside interference.He continues to be assisted by the Canadian Team and Planet Jarrett.When Jim Cornette becomes the new face of management at TNA and says someone will be fired, Young is afraid it will become him. He's seen in Impact! holding a sign in the crowd that says "Do not fire Eric Young" as fans shout "Do not fire Eric!" with him. On June 29 Impact! Young wrestled like a favorite classic fan for fear of being fired, and tried to prevent his Canadian counterparts from doing something fraudulent. Cornette announced later that night. The Canadian team is now disbanded, but Young is more pleased than annoyed that the dismissed Earl Hebner, not Young. On July 14th Impact! , the Canadian team lost the match "all or nothing" (their only chance to stay together), leaving Team Canada out. Feud with Robert Roode (2006-2007)
At Victory Road, the Canadian Team joins the ring for the last time. After running through how he feels about each member, Scott D'Amore stops at Young. He then blames Young for their destruction and makes him remove all Tim Canada items. D'Amore then says that he believes Eric Young will still be fired because he is to blame for the end of Team Canada. Young then stays in the ring after the others leave and starts a secret petition with the fans to keep his job. He will start announcing soon from "Undisclosed Location". Young continues to worry about his job security, creating his own "Do not Fire Eric" shirt.
Paranoia Young proved justified again because he was fired on October 5 Impact! after being hit with a golf club by Larry Zbyszko causing Young to lose the game "Loser fired". Due to Zbyszko's interruption, Jim Cornette gave Young a chance to get his job back by facing Zbyszko in the game "Loser Gets Fired" in Bound for Glory. Young wins and gets his job back. At the Genesis pre-show, Young scored a disappointment by beating former Canadian team-mates Robert Roode. This makes Roode angry and at Impact! Following this, Roode cut a promo against Young. The match starts the old rivalry between the two.
Young, later nicknamed "Paranoid Pied Piper of TNA" by broadcaster Mike Tenay, will soon be challenged for a bikini contest by his Roode counterpart, Ms. Brooks. Young accepted and defeated Ms. Brooks in a bikini contest at Turning Point on December 10, 2006, wearing a SpongeBob SquarePants bikini. Young continues his feud with Robert Roode and Ms. Brooks, with Ms. Brooks is trying to get Young to join "Robert Roode Inc.". Finally, on Against All Odds Ms. Brooks managed to persuade Young to sign a contract with "Robert Roode Inc.". This consequently sends him to an angle, where he is systematically insulted every week by Roode, by having to clean the toilets for personal use of Roode himself, and engage illegally in a Roode match. Young is forced to perform these tasks because the contract signed by Young gives Roode control over his TNA contract as well, so if he is fired from Roode, Inc., he is fired from TNA as well. He finally begins to oppose Roode's orders, partly because of the advice of a mysterious "friend". On April 26, 2007 Impact! , the "friend" was revealed as Jeff Jarrett. Young was finally released from his contract by defeating Roode in Slammiversary through an inner seat, after Gail Kim took Ms. Brooks. At Victory Road, Young and Kim will defeat Roode and Ms. Brooks in a Mixed Tag Team match. Around this time, Young will be billed as from "Freedomland, USA", a reference to Young who is free from his contract with Roode.
On August 2, 2007, Impact! , Roode has been racing and beaming Young on national television in the Impact Zone. On August 8th, at TNA Today, Young commented on the thrown and hairy insult, and then challenged Roode to "Humiliation Match" at Hard Justice. Roode will finally accept the challenge. Roode wins the match, but Gail Kim comes to help Young. Roode tried to attack him, but accidentally dropped Ms. Brooks instead. Roode retreated to a climb, leaving Brooks half-conscious to be plated and glorified by Young and Kim.
When Adam "Pacman" Jones joined the TNA, Young was desperate to get his autograph, but was eventually attacked by Ron Killings and sprayed by Pacman. Young started working with Shark Boy consistently, almost winning the number one ranking for the Tag Team Championship. Young was opposed to Judas Messiah in his official debut match, and was seriously injured despite the rescue efforts of Shark Boy. On October 4th edition Impact, Young faced and defeated James Storm in Gauntlet's game when he reversed Sleep's Sleep Detention into a pin. In Bound for Glory, Young won 15 Fight for the Right Battle Royal players by pinning Robert Roode with a small package to win the first round. He was knocked out of the tournament in the second half after being squeezed by Storm. From there, Young and Storm engage in a story line that sees them competing in a beer drinking contest, especially in Genesis, where Young takes the World Storm Beer Belt Drinking Championship after the Storm fainted. Young keeps the belt on Impact! last before Turning Point in the contest drew a speed of 60 seconds and won, but was attacked by Storm. He went on to defeat both Storm and Angle Alliance, the latter as Samoa Joe and substitute partner Kevin Nash for Scott Hall in a match at Turning Point.
