Professional wrestling career

Early career

Making his professional debut in 1992, Bermudez began wrestling for Angelo Savoldi's International World Class Championship Wrestling as Dancing Wolf of the Sioux War Party with White Cloud and within months of their debut defeated The Canadians in a tournament final to win the vacant IWCCW Tag Team Championship in Hamburg, Pennsylvania on May 9, 1992. Remaining undefeated for nearly a year, they very briefly lost the title to Jimmy Deo and L.A. Gore in Dover, New Hampshire on June 6, however they regained the title that same night. They later vacated the title after leaving the promotion the following year.

After a brief stay in the AWF, he and White Wolf won the AWF tag team titles before Burmudez was brought into Extreme Championship Wrestling to replace Snot Dudley who had been injured at ECW Hardcore Heaven earlier that year.

Extreme Championship Wrestling

Introduced as one of several long lost members of the Dudley family in late 1995, he was supposedly the result of a visit from Big Daddy Dudley who had stayed for a time at an unnamed Cheyenne reservation in Oklahoma, during which time he had "poked a Hontas".[2][3] He and Dudley Dudley began teaming together, losing to the Steiner Brothers and The Public Enemy during August although they later defeated Chad Austin and Don E. Allen at Gangstas Paradise on September 16, 1995, and later faced J.T. Smith and Hack Meyers in singles matches.[4]

After losing to ECW Tag Team Champions The Pit Bulls on September 23 and The Gangstas on October 6, Dudley Dudley left to pursue a singles career and was replaced by Buh Buh Ray Dudley. They, however, lost to The Pit Bulls, Public Enemy and The Eliminators during November and early December. Reuniting with Dudley Dudley at December to Dismember to defeat the Bad Crew on December 9, he and Buh Buh Ray Dudley also defeated Bad Crew on December 28 although they lost to them in a rematch two days later later that month.[5]

In early 1996, Bermudez suffered a leg injury during an ECW event on April 13 and was attacked by D-Von Dudley; this was D-Von Dudley's first appearance in the promotion. Following the attack by D-Von Dudley, he and the other members of the Dudleys feuded with the renegade Dudley. He and Chubby Dudley soon left the promotion however, allegedly in a dispute with promoter Paul Heyman.[6]

Later career

From 1997 to 1999, he wrestled with several tag partners as Laraza as featured in Pro Wrestling Illustrated. He had several matches with such workers as Spanish Angel, Kid USA, Lucifer, Homicide and Low Life Louie. He had great feedback from promoter Bobby Lombardi but left when the Long Island Wrestling Federation did shows further east on Long Island.
