In 1985, "Golden Boy" Dan Spivey made his WWE debut and soon became one half of the U.S. Express with Mike Rotundo. These
two fan favorites came to the ring waving the Stars & Stripes. In 1988, Spivey left the company and toured with All-Japan
Pro Wrestling and the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico.
Spivey spent the early nineties in WCW, All-Japan Pro Wrestling and the Universal Wrestling Federation before resurfacing
in WWE in 1995 as Waylon Mercy. A man of few words but a variety of violent actions, he claimed to be a peaceful person and
friend to all mankind. During his slow walk to the ring he shook hands with fans, ring announcers, referees and opponents
alike with an eerily calm demeanor. His interviews sent chills down people's spines as he stated, "Lives are gonna be in
Waylon Mercy's hands."
When the bell rang, Waylon became a man possessed and attacked opponents in a fit of rage. By October of that year Waylon
was forced retire from the squared circle after feeling the bone-crushing effects from Diesel's Jackknife Powerbomb.
