Career

His first fame rose when he started the gimmick Private Zarinoff Lebeouf as part of the tag team Legionnaires. He replaced Private Don Fargo and teamed with Sgt. Jacques Goulet. Fargo and Goulet had a fight. Due to this, Fargo left WWA and Zarinoff had to replace him as Goulet's partner.

Zarinoff left for World Wide Wrestling Federation in 1978 as Yukon Pierre. He became one half of the tag team Yukon Lumberjacks with Yukon Eric.
