Wildside had an undefeated singles record up until his final IWCCW match where he was defeated by Tommy Dreamer after Nurse Feelgood hit the Doctor with his own bag. After leaving the IWCCW the Doctor and Nurse were reunited and continued to work together. Nurse Vanessa's popularity propelled them into every major wrestling magazine in 1992 and 1993. The Nurse was the only independent manager to be listed in the top 10 managers in every magazine almost always number 10, even appearing on the cover of Wrestling All Stars in August 1992.^[1][2]
