Wildside has had successful stints in Reading based IWA Independent Wrestling Alliance from 1991 to 1994, The RCW – Regional Championship Wrestling from 1995–1997, brief appearances in the York, Pennsylvania based: NCW as late as 1998, and the Reading-based WPW – World Professional Wrestling from 1999 to 2002.

Wildside is best known for his 3-year run from 1991–1993 with the IWCCW (International World Class Championship Wrestling) based out of Parsippany, NJ. There, whilst managed by Nurse Vanessa Feelgood he had great success and traveled with the promotion through the New England States. Wildside had an undefeated singles record up until his final IWCCW match where he was defeated by Tommy Dreamer after Nurse Feelgood hit the Doctor with his own bag. After leaving the IWCCW the Doctor and Nurse were reunited and continued to work together. Nurse Vanessa's popularity propelled them into every major wrestling magazine in 1992 and 1993. The Nurse was the only independent manager to be listed in the top 10 managers in every magazine almost always number 10, even appearing on the cover of Wrestling All Stars in August 1992.[1][2]

In addition to wrestling as a singles competitor, while in the IWCCW Wildside also formed several successful tag teams with partners such as Man Mountain Mike, The Metal Maniac and most notably with his mentor Jimmy Deo. As a tag partner he had memorable feuds with the Sioux War Party, and the tag team of Nikolia Volkoff and Cousin Luke. His best tag partner was Kid Extreme (Chio Frost) in the RCW where they were part of the Bodacious Alliance.[3]

Wildside was trained primarily by the Maniac Jimmy Deo and his cousin Jeff Grippley with follow up training by Bobby Bold Eagle at Gleason's arena in Brooklyn, NY, along with Ted Petty. Deo Grippley and Wildside would then form a training partnership and open "Deo's Dungeon" Pro-Wrestling TrainingCenter, 405 South 5th Street Reading PA in mid 1991. Three years later the training center was sold to Mark and Troy Mest after being relocated to Wesner Road in Blandon PA and renaming it "The Dungeon".[4]
