Professional wrestling career

Fine made his wrestling debut in 1989 for United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, Tennessee when the promotion started that year. He would feud with Koko B. Ware in the summer of 1994. He stole Koko's bird Frankie and pretended to eat it on air. The two fought matches for both the bird and Fine's fur coat. Koko was suspended for most of July for using a pipe against Fine in their match on July 4, before returning to win the bird back on July 25.

From 1995 to 1997, he worked for the WWF under his real name losing to Yokozuna, Bob Holly, Bam Bam Bigelow and the New Blackjacks. [4] [5] [6]

He was a member of the original Nation of Domination in 1996 as Kareem Olajuwon. In 1997, he won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship defeating Jerry Lawler. Two weeks later he dropped the title back to Lawler. Later that year, USWA closed its doors.[ citation needed ]

After USWA, Fine continued working in Memphis for Power Pro Wrestling, Memphis Championship Wrestling, Memphis Wrestling and the independents in Tennessee. He also manages wrestlers. [7]
