Dennis' first professional match was wrestling inmates at Pendleton Reformatory Prison in Indiana. A few years later, he was trading holds with superstars like Buddy Rogers, Yukon Eric, Ray Stevens, Don Eagle, and Bill Miller. With Les Thatcher and Roger Kirby, Dennis became one of the three wrestling "cousins," and made a name for himself as a main eventer in the southern states.
