Curtis Thompson started wrestling in 1987 in NWA. Subsequently, he wrestled in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico under a mask as a heel (White Angel) and was betrayed and unmasked by his manager Chicky Starr resulted in a feud including a cage match, in Stampede Wrestling (as the masked Archangel), South Atlantic Pro Wrestling, and in Pacific Northwest Wrestling where he won the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship, defeating Scotty the Body.

He also wrestled briefly in 1988 as a jobber in the World Wrestling Federation, losing to the likes of The Ultimate Warrior and Bad News Brown.

In 1990/1991 Thompson would use the "U.S. Male" gimmick where he wore a mailman uniform to the ring in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) and South Atlantic Pro Wrestling (SAPW) in the Carolinas as a member of Robert Fuller's Stud Stable. Thompson would eventually free himself from the Stud Stable, turning face in the process at the end of 1990 while wrestling in SAPW. In 1990 he went to North Georgia Wrestling and won a match against Fabulous Fabian (aka Buff Bagwell).

In 1991 he joined World Championship Wrestling. He became Firebreaker Chip and teamed with Todd Champion as The Patriots.

He also wrestled briefly for Smoky Mountain Wrestling in the mid 1990s. In 1996 he became the first CWA (Texas) Heavyweight Champion defeating Scott Putski. Later in late 1999, he turned up in the NWA's Mid-Atlantic promotion in a tag team with Drake Dawson called "Triple X". Together they won the NWA World Tag Team Championship and the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship in 2000.
