Furnas started his career as a champion powerlifter. Though he was in one of the smaller weight classes-the 275-pound division-his lifts were astonishing. Furnas is one of the few men to lift over 2400 pounds-twice.

He found great success in Japan with partner Phil LaFon as the Can Am Express. Furnas worked for WCW and WWE but failed to capture any major titles although he did capture the ECW Tag team championship during his time with that promotion.

Furnas passed away due to complications from Parkinson's disease but he left behind a legacy in both powerlifting and pro wrestling.
