The 400 plus pound Gang was massive in size and stature during his time in the ring. During the 1988 Royal Rumble, Gang entered the nineteenth competitor. Both his size and how late into the Rumble he emerged played a part in his success in the match. What many fans may not know was that the initial Royal Rumble had only twenty participants, therefore entering the ring next to last was certainly an advantage. As one of the final two, the Gang was clearly an odds-on favorite to win the match. However, while he may not have won, he certainly made a name for himself during the match.

Today, the One-Man Gang is retired from the ring and is one of the names listed in a class action suit against WWE launched in 2016, which was brought forward by a number of former talent who claim they suffered brain injuries during their time with the promotion.
