In 1983, The Missing Link debuted in World Class Championship Wrestling as part of Skandor Akbar's Devastation Inc. stable, and feuded with the Von Erichs and The Fabulous Freebirds.
The Missing Link made his World Wrestling Federation (WWF) debut on May 20, 1985, in Madison Square Garden; he was accompanied to the ring by manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and defeated S.D. Jones in less than two minutes. During his brief run in the WWF, most of his matches were against jobbers. Many times, he defeated S.D. Jones, George Wells, Rick McGraw, Salvatore Bellomo, Tony Garea, Jose Luis Rivera, Lanny Poffo, and Swede Hanson. However, he typically lost when matched against bigger stars. His first recorded loss in the WWF came on July 22, 1985, against George "The Animal" Steele. On July 24, in Buffalo, New York, he lost to Bruno Sammartino by countout. On August 18, he was pinned by Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana at the first-ever WWF show in Tampa, Florida. He also lost matches to Ivan Putski, Tony Atlas, and B. Brian Blair.
While in the WWF, he fought Mad Dog Vachon three times: a draw in Minneapolis on August 25, 1985; a win by countout in Milwaukee on September 5; and a loss in Denver on September 20. In September 1985, Heenan traded The Missing Link and Adrian Adonis to manager Jimmy Hart in exchange for King Kong Bundy. In his final televised match on WWF Prime Time Wrestling on November 12 (taped October 12), Paul Orndorff pinned The Missing Link in less than five minutes with a high knee after the Link was distracted by his manager, Jimmy Hart, shouting into his megaphone on the ring apron. He abruptly left the WWF in October 1985.
In November 1985, he went to World Class Championship Wrestling and was first managed by Percy Pringle, only to turn face after saving Sunshine from an attack from The Great Kabuki, then again from Percy Pringle and Rick Rude. In late 1986, he left WCCW.
On August 16, 2007, The Missing Link passed away.
