Early career Making his debut in 1978, he first began wrestling in the Indianapolis-based
World Wrestling Association as
Mad Maxx defeating Disco Dog and Rocky Guerrero in singles matches before teaming with
Super Maxx as the
Wild Warriors defeating
Jeff Van Kamp and Calypso Jim on July 7 and later Jeff Van Kamp and
Dick the Bruiser for the WWA Tag Team Championship in September 1984. Although suffering a loss to Dick the Bruiser and
Moose Cholak by disqualification on November 10, Richmond and Super Maxx successfully defended the titles for several months including close matches against Bobby Colt and
Bobo Brazil; although the tag team title history during this time is largely unrecorded, at least one source claims the
Maxx Brothers lost the titles to Bobby Colt and Bobo Brazil on December 29. They later feuded with The Untouchables (Buster and Ice) in
Windy City Pro Wrestling facing them at the
Battle of the Belts supercards, including a steel cage match in which
Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart would be in the corner of The Untouchables. After losing the titles to Dick the Bruiser & Bobby Colt in March 1985, he and Super Maxx jumped to the American Wrestling Association the following year facing
The Midnight Rockers and later feuded with The Samoan Connection (Farmer Boy Ipo and
Leroy Brown (wrestler)) over the Polynesian Pacific Tag Team titles during the summer which was later aired by Atlanta promoter
Joe Pedicino during the
Hot Summer Night in Aloha Stadium television special.
Mid-South and World Class Championship Wrestling In early 1987, Richmond began wrestling for the Universal Wrestling Federation teaming with
"Wild" Bill Irwin to defeat
The Fantastics at the
Sam Houston Coliseum on January 23 and in a rematch the following night. He and Irwin would later participate in the UWF Tag Team Title Tournament being eliminated by
Steve Williams and
Ted DiBiase in the opening rounds on February 7, 1987. Along with Irwin, Richmond soon aligned himself with manager Skandar Akbar's Devastation Inc. and eventually followed Akbar to
Fritz von Erich's World Class Championship Wrestling later that year. Feuding with
Spike Huber, he and
Abdullah the Butcher lost to Huber and
Red River Jack at the 4th annual
Parade of Champions on May 3, 1987. During his time in the promotion, he would regularly appear on WCCW's weekly television program later facing
Jeff Gaylord and
Chavo Guerrero. In late 1987, he would return to Japan losing to
