In 1979, Valiant was brought into the World Wide Wrestling Federation after Jimmy Valiant was ill. With Johnny Valiant, he held the WWWF World Tag Team Championship. After Jimmy recovered, the three Valiants worked in six-man tag matches, and sometimes eight-man tag matches with manager Lou Albano. After eight months in the WWF, he split from the Valiants and left the company. He returned as a solo enhancement wrestler and referee in 1984.
Valiant passed away on March 10, 2010.
