He made his Madison Square Garden debut on April 23, 1984 when he challenged Tito Santana for the WWE Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship, losing by pinfall after a flying forearm by Santana. He is most remembered in pro wrestling as a manager. He guided many wrestlers to singles and tag-team titles in the NWA.
