Career
World Wrestling Federation
Roma made his pro wrestling debut in 1985 and soon signed contracts with the WWF. His first big break came in 1987 when he was paired up with Jim Powers in a tag team called The Young Stallions. The team seemingly received their name by accident when play-by-play commentator Vince McMahon referred to them once as "a couple of young stallions", thus naming the team. Powers and Roma were still viewed as enhancement talent when, during the August 8, 1987 episode of WWF Superstars of Wrestling (taped August 4), they scored an upset disqualification victory over WWF Tag Team Champions the Hart Foundation. The victory launched the team into a run as featured performers in the WWF. They were even one of only two surviving teams alongside The Killer Bees in the elimination tag team match at the first annual Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 26, 1987.
