Hughes is credited for breaking in several of his students to Memphis Championship Wrestling, including Sam Shaw, Cameron Valentine, and Chris Deal. Taylor Mcknight, who was an announcer long before meeting Hughes, still credits Hughes for his recent work in Memphis and other bigger promotions in the area.
