Professional Experience

World Championship Wrestling

• Successfully feuded with Booker T, elevating his singles career.
• Defenestrated on national television by Perry Saturn. It was technically a glass door, but I love the term "defenestration" and I don't get to use it much so I'm rolling with that.
• Career effectively ended at Superbrawl VIII (:()

World Wrestling Federation

• Runner-up in 1993 Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal (to Razor Ramon).
• Wrestled Shawn Michaels to a countout draw in front of 80,000 fans in Wembley Stadium at Summerslam 1992.
• Carried Tito Santana like dead weight to tag team prominence, before tiring of him at Wrestlemania V.
• Had two amazing entrance themes where somehow the least amazing of the two is the one done by Robbie Dupree.
• Successfully cultivated "The Model" persona, relocating to Cocoa Beach for a gimmick that was years ahead of its time.
• Launched successful line of cologne, Arrogance, and advertised it in some amazing vignettes.
• Temporarily blinded Jake "The Snake" Roberts, incapacitating him for the better part of 1990.
• Successfully teamed with Tony Garea and briefly with Tom Zenk before Tom Zenk got apparently got weird about pay disparities.

American Wrestling Association

• Beat Jumbo goddamn Tsuruta for AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
• I'm going to make that another entry because seriously how cool is Jumbo as a proverbial notch on the belt? Jumbo Tsuruta was the Japanese pro-wrestler of the 1980s.
• Wrestled several matches with then-NWA World Champion Ric Flair.

Other Territories

• Emerged as top talent in the Pacific Northwest territory for the NWA.
• Successfully teamed with Roddy Piper, winning a total of four tag team championships.
