He started in Texas All-Star Wrestling before moving on to NWA Central States Wrestling in Kansas City, MO. In 1987, he and "Hacksaw" Butch Reed moved to WWE. As part of "Classy" Freddie Blassie's retirement, he sold the debuting Slick the contracts of The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and Hercules, though Hercules' was sold to Bobby Heenan.

Can't Get Away with Nuthin': "The Natural" Butch Reed defeated "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware at WrestleMania III by pinning Ware with his feet on the ropes. Tito Santana ran out and beat up Slick for this. | |

Large Ham: Well, he was a wrestling manager, so it comes with the territory. He dressed well, cut entertaining promos, danced before his wrestlers' matches (and after if they won), sang his own theme song and had a great Evil Laugh. | |

Informed Attribute | |
| Slick (Wrestling) / int_c3448a6f | comment |
Informed Attribute: He was billed as being smaller than he actually was and one time even claimed to just be 130 pounds which would not be healthy for a male his size. This was notable when he stood next to Bam Bam Bigelow and he vertically dwarfed Bam despite the announcers referring to Bam as colossal. | |

Wrestling Doesn't Pay | |
| Slick (Wrestling) / int_c36c2e8d | comment |
Wrestling Doesn't Pay: Discussed. In his first interview on WWE TV, he claimed to be a real estate investor. "Mean" Gene Okerlund accused him of "running some girls," implying that he was actually a pimp. This was all abandoned, and he became a regular manager. Then he became a managing reverend as Reverend Slick. | |

Refuge in Audacity: He, Bossman and Akeem once appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show, and he said that Akeem would be the first black WWF Champion. Keep in mind that Akeem was The One Man Gang (a white man) acting like he was a black man ("re-embracing his African roots"). | |
