He began his career in 1980 with Stampede Wrestling, where he debuted with a victory. During his early years, he wrestled in various Canadian promotions and in NWA All-Star Wrestling. In 1982, Kiniski joined Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling (MACW), and in 1983, he formed a successful tag team with One Man Gang, winning the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team titles.
