I know he wrestled in quite a few tag teams; The Blue Terrors in Tenn. 1969, The Mighty Yankees in Tenn, 1969 (unmasked by The Spoilers as Pepe and Tony Russo), Los Diablos in Gulf Coast 1973, The Blue Demons, The Blue Scorpions, The Dominoes, and a good run with El Medico, and with Big Bad John (tag team titles 2x). He also wrestled as Jose Lopez, Mr.Pro in Chattanooga, Winterhawk in Japan in January of 76 for IWE, and a very good run as Jimmy Dancing Bear throughout the Southeast from 1969-1974?. As Jimmy, he got a lot of attention in Georgia 73-74.
