Concurrently, Gabriele stepped into the role of the Dark Angel and became part of Dick the Bruiser's WWA, working live events and television episodes with wrestling legends like Don Kent, Yukon Moose Cholak, Bobo Brazil, Scott Steiner, Terry Sullivan, as well as Dick the Bruiser himself. After a 1988 disagreement with Dick the Bruiser, Grabiele began operating his own wrestling promotion and television show, "Powerslam Professional Wrestling", featuring established wrestlers such as Ox Baker and Calypso Jim (now Bobo Brazil, Jr.), Ed Farhat (a.k.a. the Original Sheik), as well as booking early matches with new talent such as Sabu and Rob Van Dam. "Powerslam Professional Wrestling" lasted until 1991.
