Drake's Continental Wrestling Alliance, the International Championship Wrestling and National Wrestling Federation during the 1980s. He also made brief appearances in the American Wrestling Association and Jim Crockett Promotions.
Alegado worked for numerous Mid-Atlantic independent promotions during the 1990s including, most notably, Eastern Championship Wrestling, House of Pain Wrestling Federation / National Wrestling League, Maryland Championship Wrestling, Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation, National Championship Wrestling, Steel City Wrestling and the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance. He occasionally wrestled as Doink the Clown in the Century Wrestling Alliance and NWA New Jersey from 1995 to 1997.
He is considered one of the most respected wrestlers in the Northeastern United States according to Kenny Casanova and other wrestlers. Alegado mentored or trained a number of East Coast independent stars including, most notably, Tom Brandi[3] and Steve Corino.[2][4] He has occasionally appeared for Corino's Pro Wrestling WORLD-1 promotion as both a performer and trainer. In 2014, Alegado was inducted into the Maryland Wrestling Federation Hall of Fame.[5]
