He came to fame in the early part of this century, working as one-half of Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff's enforcers, Three Minute Warning, alongside his cousin Eddie Fatu.
Former WWE superstar Rosey died at 47 years old. Rosey became a "Super Hero In Training" and was partnered with Shane "The Hurricane" Helms as a team and for a number of comedy sketches. On the July 19, 2004, episode of Raw, Rosey appeared with a new costume, seemingly graduated to a full superhero, officially turning him into a fan favorite.
After losing the belts, The Hurricane turned heel and split up the team.
