American Starship

Spivey and Hall made their debut as a masked tag-team called American Starship with Spivey being called Eagle and Hall being dubbed Coyote. With their furry boots, massive stature, bright masks and Hulk Hogan’esque t-shirt ripping routine the two men were easy to spot on any card. Initially American Starship worked only sporadically. At first they were booked so sparingly that the two were given a job for the Charlotte Orioles (which Jim Crockett owned at the time) as part of the ground crew^[2]. When the two men did get into the ring it was with little success, the highlight of their stay in Crockett’s Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling was being defeated by Arn and Ole Anderson when the rookies challenged for the NWA National Tag Team Championship.

WWF

In the fall of 1985 Spivey signed with the World Wrestling Federation and started working without a mask and under his real name.

The team had their first match together on November 1, 1985 ^[4]less than a month after Spivey joined the WWF. The team was billed sometimes billed as The American Express, but most people referred to them as the U.S. Express II since the patriotic gimmick of the original U.S. Express was recycled with Spivey taking Barry Windham's place^[3]. The team continued the U.S. Express’ feud with the Dream Team, but once they were proven unsuccessful, the two did not team from January to May as Rotundo briefly left the WWF. During this time Spivey took part in the WrestleMania 2 “Wrestlers and Football players” Battle Royal. Spivey was eliminated by the Iron Sheik without much fanfare^[5]. Once the American Express reunited, they feuded with the Moondogs ^[6], The Hart Foundation ^[7], and The Islanders, whom the team faced in their last match together on February 9, 1987.^[8] is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

NWA

In early 1989, Spivey returned to the National Wrestling Alliance and Jim Crockett. Spivey was made a member of the Varsity Club as a replacement for Rick Steiner, who left the group. Spivey’s background as a football player at the University of Georgia was touched upon to lend credibility to his inclusion in the group. While in the Varsity Club, Spivey feuded with Rick Steiner and the Road Warriors, acting more as back-up while former tag-team partner Mike Rotunda and Steve Williams were pushed as the stars of the group. When the Varsity Club disbanded, Spivey came under the management of ex-referee Teddy Long and started teaming with newcomer Sid Vicious under the name the The Skyscrapers. The Skyscrapers’ first taste of success came at the 1989 Great American Bash PPV where they first co-won a Two-Ring King of the Hill Battle Royal with Sid being the survivor in one ring and Dan surviving in the other. The rules called for the two to fight each other but manager Teddy Long convinced them to shake hands and share the prize money^[15]. Later in the night the Skyscrapers defeated The Dynamic Dudes due to their overwhelming size and power^[15].

The Skyscrapers quickly became involved in a feud with the Road Warriors, sparked by Teddy Long’s actions while still a referee. The two teams were very evenly matched in power and intensity, creating a series of matches that did not favor one team over the other. Spivey and Vicious were disqualified against the Road Warriors at Halloween Havoc 1989^[16]. Shortly after Halloween Havoc, the Skyscrapers faced the Steiner Brothers at Clash of the Champions IX in a hard hitting match^[17]. Sid Vicious suffered a punctured lung due to a broken rib. With Vicious out of action, Teddy Long brought in another tall newcomer in the same mold as Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey and dubbed him ”Mean” Mark Callous (who would eventually join the WWF to become the legendary Undertaker). The New Skyscrapers immediately picked up the feud with the Road Warriors and kept on having inconclusive matches with them. At Clash of the Champions X the Skyscrapers finally got the better of the Road Warriors, not in the match, but afterwards when they beat the Road Warriors down^[18]. At this point in time, no one had ever been able to physically dominate the Road Warriors, something that pointed that big things had been planned for the Skyscrapers. However, in the days before the scheduled Chicago Street Fight at Wrestle War 1990, ^[19] Dan Spivey suddenly left WCW, leaving the bookers to scramble for a replacement. Exactly why he left the federation so suddenly has never been stated.

While working for the NWA as one of the Skyscrapers, Spivey also competed in his homestate of Florida, winning the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship^[20] in late 1989. However, this title win was not referred to on NWA Television. Spivey would go on to hold the title until July 1992, when he lost it to Lou Perez^[20]. Spivey also kept on touring with AJPW while working for the NWA, mainly teaming with Stan Hansen. Spivey and Hansen formed a very popular Gaijin team that almost won AJPW’s “Real World Tag League” in 1990^[21]. By the end of 1990, Spivey returned to WCW television.

With Sid Vicious being part of the Four Horsemen, the Skyscraper reunion was short lived. Instead, Spivey started to focus on his singles career in WCW, challenging WCW U.S. Champion “The Total Package” Lex Luger at the February 24, 1991 PPV Wrestle War ^[23]. Spivey did not win the title, and he did not get another high profile title opportunity while with the company. On April 18, 1991 Dan Spivey and Stan Hansen captured the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship from Terry Gordy and Steve Williams in Tokyo, Japan^[20]. Spivey and Hansen even brought their successful tag-team to WCW during this time. On June 22, 1991, Spivey and Hansen were booked to face Rick Steiner and Tom Zenk and Spivey was told to lose the match to Zenk. Spivey refused since the duo were the AJPW Unified Tag Team Champions.

Spivey and Hansen would lose the tag-team titles back Gordy and Williams^[20]. After the title loss, Spivey started to team with other wrestlers, mainly with Johnny Ace, but also linked up with Jim Brunzell^[25], Kendall Windham^[26] and Jim Steele^[27]. Spivey managed to mend fences with WCW enough to work with them once more during the summer of 1991. His biggest match during this time was his appearance at Starrcade 1992 where he teamed with Van Hammer to defeat Johnny B.

Waylon Mercy

Dan Spivey rejoined the WWF in the spring of 1995, adopting the name Waylon Mercy in a gimmick based on Robert De Niro's portrayal of Max Cady in the 1991 remake of Cape Fear. Like Cady, he had jet black hair, wore white attire with an aloha shirt, and sported several strange tattoos (Spivey's were artificial). The character was introduced through a series of vignettes that always had Spivey speaking in a calm yet subtly sinister manner and finishing with the phrase, “Lives are gonna be in Waylon Mercy’s hands. You know what I mean?” Robert Mario De Niro, Jr. ... Robert Mitchum as Max Cady in Cape Fear Robert DeNiro as Max Cady in the 1991 remake. ... Cape Fear is a 1991 film which is a remake of a 1962 film of the same name. ... Aloha shirts are usually adorned with repeating tropical patterns. ...

Spivey’s portrayal had him portraying a heel despite his character's out-of-the-ring demeanor being that of a peaceful southern gentleman. He would shake the hands of the fans, his opponent, and even the referee before his matches. However, once the bell rang, he became vicious, insincerly apologizing for actions such as kicking a downed opponent. On one occasion, he even delivered a DDT to an opponent on the arena floor, then apologized to the referee, claiming that he had slipped. Mercy's finishing move saw him applying a sleeper hold as he revealed a wide-eyed, insane expression. Once the bell rang, he'd return to his polite southern gentlemen act. In professional wrestling a DDT is any move in which the wrestler falls down or backwards to drive a held opponents head into the mat. ... Professional wrestling holds include a number of set moves and pins used by competitors to immobilize their opponents or lead to a submission. ...

Soon after, he starting having matches with the top faces of the WWF at the time, such as Bret Hart^[32], Razor Ramon^[33], and WWF World Champion Diesel^[34].
