He returned years later in the Electronic Wrestling Council (EWC) and in his second match suffered a career ending neck injury at the hands of "Cyclone" Brody, an occurance that led to the revision of the EWC rules surrounding submission holds, by the way. Undaunted he went into management, introducing his first protege, Dr. Hyde, as a vehicle for vengeance on Brody. Shortly after a lumberjack match (which Hyde lost), Brody disappeared. Shortly after that, the Dog and Hyde, jumped to American Wrestling Enterprises (AWE) (later to be known as Allied Wrestling International(AWI)).
In AWE, the Dog picked up management of "Bulldog" Brian Bachman, the tenacious young light-heavyweight, and has already managed Dr. Hyde to contender status.
Somewhere in this whole process, the Dog and his men drifted through neutral, and now are on the faceish side of things.
The Dog expanded his stable in the InterNEtional e-Wrestling Superstars (IeWS) with "Johnny Reb" John Reber and "Yankee" Steve Bowman, the Blue and the Grey.
Due to his injury, the Dog is restricted to a wheel-chair, but his upper body strength is still impressive and managers or opposing wrestlers who stray too close to his chair find that if he can get his hands on them he can still cause a lot of damage.
