Professional wrestling career

Brown debuted in 1980 in NWA Jim Crockett Promotions (NWA-JCP) as "Downtown" Denny Brown. After wrestling as a jobber for several years, Brown won the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade in 1984 from Mike Davis. When New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) withdrew their separate claim to the title, Brown was recognized as the undisputed champion in August 1985. He held the title three times over the following months, feuding with Nelson Royal, Gary Royal, Steve Regal and Lazer Tron.

Later in his career, Brown wrestled in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and as a jobber in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) before retiring in 1997.
