He was one half of the legendary tag team, The New Age Outlaws, with “Badass” Billy Gunn, who held the WWE Tag Team Championships five times. In his singles run, he also won the Intercontinental and Hardcore Championships.

Road Dogg struggled with substance abuse, however, and later went into recovery. In the January 20th episode of WWE: Unreal, Road Dogg discusses his struggles with addiction and how he and a fellow addict and WWE star, R-Truth, who would also later recover, built a long-lasting friendship.
