Rise to Fame as a Professional Wrestler

After he returned to the US in 1997, Robert signed to the WWF under the new ring name The Interrogator, and began wrestling as a member of a group of wrestlers called The Truth Commission.

His career was soon moved to the next level, since the group debuted in the US Wrestling Association in Memphis (USWA). During his stint there, Robert and Recon won the USWA World Tag Team Championships three times, which added a considerable amount to his net worth. In December of the same year, he was given a new name, Kurrgan, and was reintroduced to the group; however, he soon left it together with The Jackyl, and the group was disbanded. Being managed by The Jackyl, Robert continued his professional wrestling career as a solo, and became recognized as a monster heel, applying the Iron Claw to his opponents.
