The former ECW star has been part of several controversies in his career both in and out of the squared circle. He had made his in-ring debut in 1992 after he was trained and mentored by the late Ray Candy.
He rose to prominence when he started working under Jim Cornette in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, where he wrestled in a tag team called “The Gangstas” alongside Mustafa Saed.
He then joined Paul Heyman’s Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1995 and his approach towards the business matched well with the company he was working for.
