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 while 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.
