In 1985, he went to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions where he wrestled as the masked Thunderfoot. He would "load" his boot during his matches and kick his opponents in the head to gain the victory.

In 1991, Jones wrestled as Joel Deaton in the Global Wrestling Federation and teamed with Chaz Taylor in the tournament for the GWF Tag Team Championship.

In 1992, as Joel Deaton he teamed with Billy Black as The Wild Bunch in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
