CareerWhatley played football and wrestled for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. He was UTC's first black wrestler. Whatley started wrestling in 1975 after a brief career as a power lifter. He wrestled primarily in Alabama and Tennessee before going to Florida Championship Wrestling in 1984, where he won the Southern Title twice. He was one-third of the Convertible Blondes with Rip Rogers and Gary Royal in the Angelo Poffo-promoted ICW, even though he didn't dye his hair blonde. 2323 2nd Avenue North. One of Whatley's best-known moments in ICW was the "Mop Head" angle where Whatley had to wear a mop wig after losing a match to Ron Garvin. The match stipulation also required Whatley to keep wearing it until he wins another match. This led to not only a lengthy feud with Garvin but also to a long losing streak for Whatley, with most of Whatley's losses being disqualification losses due to outside interference when Garvin would attack Whatley's opponent. The angle lasted for several months until Whatley finally won a match. He went to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions in 1985 and often teamed with Jimmy Valiant against members of Paul Jones' Army. In 1986, after Valiant called Whatley "the best black athlete in professional wrestling", Whatley turned on Valiant and cut some of Valiant's hair, thinking Valiant's comment was racist.
