In September of 1986 he made his debut for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) adopting the nickname of "The Natural" with dyed blonde hair and with Slick as his manager, a run that lasted for almost 2 years. In 1989 he joined WCW, reverting to his old "Hacksaw" moniker. During his WCW run, he formed a tag team with (then) future star Ron Simmons known as Doom. In his WCW run, he held the NWA World Tag Team and WCW World Tag Team Champions with fellow Doom teammate Ron Simmons. He continued his wrestling career on the independent circuit for several years after his WCW tenure came to an end in 1992.
