Heath was trained by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Malenko in Florida. When his training was complete, he began performing in various https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_circuit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling_promotion in the Florida area. In the Independent Professional Wrestling (IPW) promotion he won the IPW Tag Team Championship, before moving to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_Wrestling, where he formed a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_team with Tom Nash known as "The Blackhearts". Heath and Nash competed under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrestling_mask as "Destruction" and "Apocalypse" respectively. They won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_International_Tag_Team_Championship as a team.
In the early nineties, the Blackhearts were paired with Nash's wife https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_Vachon, wrestling in Joel Goodhart's Tri-State Wrestling, in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Abrams' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Wrestling_Federation_(Herb_Abrams), and finally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shohei_Baba's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Japan_Pro_Wrestling, where the team split up. During that time, the marriage between Nash and Luna broke up, and Heath and Luna became romantically involved. They eventually married on Halloween 1994. The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE (WWF), where Luna worked at the time, even broadcast a segment of Luna's "Wedding to a Vampire".
After the demise of the Blackhearts, Heath and Luna developed the Vampire Warrior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_terms#G, inspired by the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Boys, under which, he wrestled in various promotions, including the Memphis-based https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Wrestling_Association (USWA). Under this moniker, he won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWA_Southern_Heavyweight_Championship and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Illustrated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PWI_Rookie_of_the_Year award in 1993.
American-Canadian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling, better known as Luna Vachon. Over the course of her 22-year career, she wrestled for promotions such as the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE (now WWE), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Championship_Wrestling, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Wrestling_Association, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Championship_Wrestling. She was posthumously inducted into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Wrestling_Hall_of_Fame, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Wrestling_Hall_of_Fame. Attending wrestling events she used to play in the ring, which often resulted in training with various https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Wrestling_Corporation#World_Wide_Wrestling_Federation_(1963%E2%80%931979) stars. Her family objected to her entering the wrestling business and tried to dissuade her, as they considered a wrestler's life at that time too harsh for a female. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_the_Giant, with whom she was close and who took her on a trip to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris in 1974, also tried to dissuade her.

In 1992, while wrestling in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico, she tried to get David Heath a job with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Entertainment (WWF), which resulted in the WWF developing an interest in her. They hired her, but not without some complications. No one actually knew exactly where she was; even her father only knew that she was staying in Florida.
