From Hartford To Memphis

He soon debuted in the World Wrestling Federation, although he was generally used as a preliminary wrestler regularly appearing on WWF Prime Time Wrestling, although he did have some success teaming with Lanny Poffo. He would also appear at several major WWF events, losing to Adrian Adonis at the WWF Michigan State Fair supercard on August 28, 1985 and Jake “The Snake” Roberts at WrestleMania 2 on April 7, 1986.

Leaving the WWF in early-1986, he began wrestling in the Memphis-based Continental Wrestling Association as Master Gee and feuded with Junkyard Dog and Butch Reed, breaking the leg of Reed during a “ghetto street fight” when he refused to release Reed from a modified figure-four leglock.

He would also appear in World Class Championship Wrestling feuding with the Dingo Warrior, he and WCCW World Tag team Champion Matt Borne lost the tag team titles to the Dingo Warrior and Lance von Erich on November 17 (Wells had substituted for an injured Buzz Sawyer). After losing to the Dingo Warrior in a "chain match" at the supercard Thanksgiving Star Wars '86 on November 27 and Lance von Erich at Christmas Star Wars '86 on December 25, Wells left the promotion.
