Harris fought for money but that turned to pride when he was picked to go to Japan and fight professionally. His star was on the rise when none other than Bruno Sammartino noticed him and asked him to join the Superstars. He officially didn't due to attitude at the time, but he did manage to take down "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers on his own. No mean feat that.
He traveled the world after that but by the 80's he was working as a trainer for Titan Inc. His biggest student was "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson. He retired quietly in 1988 and opened a restaurant.
