Teamed with Karl Gotch in WWWF, defeating Tarzan Tyler and Luke Graham for the World tag titles in 1971, before losing them to King Curtis and Mike Scicluna in early 1972. Had a run in AWA, becoming the first wrestler to defeat Ric Flair, in Flair's second pro match. Ventured to Bruiser's WWA, where he became 'Sgt. Jacques Goulet' in the Legionnaires tag team, firstly with Pvt. Don Fargo, then with Soldier Zarinoff Lebeouf. Had a successful run in Florida and Georgia before returning to WWF in the late 70s.

Wrestled mainly lower mid-card and tag matches in WWF until he retired in 1987. Was then seen for many years as a road agent, and made frequent returns to the ring to break up melees as 'ring security'.
