Junkyard dog was for a few years the most popular wrestler in the game. JYD was loved by fans of all races and up to the point where he joined the WWF he looked like he was going to be the face of professional wrestling for a long time. Junkyard dog made the mistake of thinking Vincent K McMahon would fulfill his promise of making the Junkyard Dog a bigger star than he had been in these Southern wrestling promtions kicking ass and alarmingly gaining mass popularity very quickly over long-established wrestling faces in these areas. junkyard Dog made the jump out East in 1984 and joined the WWF at the wrong tie. The dog didn't realize that Hulkamania was breaking through and that there would be little opportunities for other fan favorites from attracting headline matches and getting a push in a crowded field.
For some reason the Dog also stayed a fan favorite in these four brutal years that sow the dog get depressed and fat as he quit working wout with the great passion and abilty that gave him upper-body strength. The charasmaetic Junkyard Dog also became less so as he was put in mid-lvel card matches through events with some non-legendayy wrestlers and boring feuds with the transvestite Adrian Adonis, the aging Harley Race, and the boring Ron Bass. nothing illustrates more the fall of this iconic wrestler more than when he went from WrestleMania 1 to 3 and went from wrestling for the intercontintel title was wrestling with midgets. Junkyard would have enough of the WWF and move on to WCW where he was older and wiser but much slower in the ring and had lost his abilty to showcase his talent that had evaporated in the ring as his girth became harder to move about.
