Pro Wrestling America. He wrestled his first match in 1986 against a wrestler named Johnny Love at a nightclub in
Fridley, Minnesota. He was involved in a major

Stu Hart. Cameron also feuded with the likes of
Chris Benoit,
Don Muraco and
Owen Hart.
World Championship Wrestling (1990) Cameron signed a one-year deal with
World Championship Wrestling (WCW) on May 16, 1990. On December 3, managed by

Doom (consisting of
WCW World Tag Team Champions Butch Reed and
Ron Simmons), making six additional appearances at
house shows, each time teaming with Reed in a loss to
Ric Flair and
