World Wrestling Federation
In 1987 Casey began wrestling for the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE). He appeared in single matches as a baby face on WWF TV shows helping maintain top heels like The Honky Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, and the Iron Sheik look strong. He would also wrestle the odd tag team match on WWF TV with other mid-opening card guys like S D Jones, Sam Houston and Lanny Poffo, to put over top heel teams like the Hart Foundation, the Islanders and Demolition. On the WWF house show events he scored most of his victories wrestling opening card matches against Steve Lombardi, Iron Mike Sharpe and the Red Rooster. His most high-profile appearance was at the 1988 Survivor Series where he teamed with Jake Roberts, Tito Santana, Ken Patera and Jim Duggan in a losing effort against André the Giant, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Harley Race and Dino Bravo. Casey continued to wrestle for the World Wrestling Federation until he left in 1990.

Famous quotes containing the words world, wrestling and/or federation:
“It is necessary to get a lot of men together, for the show of the thing,—otherwise the world will not believe. That is the meaning of committees. But the real work must always be done by one or two men.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
