[4] Roma began regularly wrestling for the WWF, and his first victory would come at a house show on February 5, 1985, against Steve Lombardi in Brooklyn, New York.

For the next two years Roma would appear as a preliminary wrestler, but slowly began to accumulate victories while wrestling on the bottom rung of the promotion, defeating such talents as AJ Petrucci, Joe Mirto, Steve Lombardi, Tiger Chung Lee, Frenchy Martin and "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Dougherty.

[citation needed] Roma was teamed with fellow preliminary wrestler Jim Powers in what at first likely seemed to be a one-time pairing on March 21, 1987, at a WWF Superstars taping in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Losing to Demolition (Ax and Smash), Roma & Powers also lost televised matches to The New Dream Team (Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Dino Bravo) (March 22) and "The Natural" Butch Reed, The Iron Sheik, and Nikolai Volkoff (April 23).

Finally, a bit of success came at a WWF Superstars taping on April 24 when the two teamed with Tito Santana in a winning effort against Bob Orton, Don Muraco and Tiger Chung Lee.

The Stallions would soon acquire the music intended for the Hart Foundation, "Crank it Up", and entered a short feud with the WWF Tag-Team Champions.

The Stallions had a Saturday Night's Main Event XII matchup, where they narrowly fell to The Hart Foundation in a great match that aired on October 3.

Despite this Roma & Powers continued to enjoy success that winter, winning house show encounters with The Bolsheviks (Nikolai Volkhoff and Boris Zhukov), The Alaskans (Dave Wagner and Rick Renslow), and The Conquistadors.

On March 3, 1988, nearly a year after their initial encounter Roma and Powers again faced Demolition (Ax now with Barry Darsow as Smash) on Prime Time Wrestling.

[8] The Stallions lost house show matches to The Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond) in May, then dropped multiple encounters to The Bolsheviks the following month.

The team that had shocked the world less than a year earlier was now devoid of a push, and was fodder for the Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) in the fall.

[citation needed] As the Young Stallions limped into 1989 at nearly the very bottom of the tag-team ranks, Paul Roma again began to compete in singles competition.

He defeated King Haku and "Ravishing" Rick Rude by disqualification on house shows in January 1989 in successive nights, and also scored multiple pinfall victories over Boris Zukhov, Barry Horowitz, and Iron Mike Sharpe.

[citation needed] Although successful against lower-level competition in the first half of 1989 when not competing in tag-team action, Paul Roma's momentum stalled out following the dissolution of The Young Stallions.

Televised victories over Buddy Rose and Zukhov followed in the spring of 1990, although he sustained defeats to "The Model" Rick Martel, Bad News Brown and "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.

[citation needed] Roma was featured in numerous televised singles matches in the summer of 1991, including against Davey Boy Smith, Virgil, Bret Hart, and Ricky Steamboat.

[citation needed] Their last pay per view outing came when they teamed with The Warlord to face Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, "The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich and Davey Boy Smith at SummerSlam 1991 in a losing effort.

[17] In 1993, Paul Roma signed a contract with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and became part of the Four Horsemen alongside "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.

[8] Under the tutelage of manager Masked Assassin the team quickly began to work well together in a feud with Marcus Alexander Bagwell and 2 Cold Scorpio.

Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan were unable to hold off Roma and Orndorff as Pretty Wonderful left the ring with the gold.

[citation needed] At Clash of the Champions XXIX, Stars and Stripes were granted a final shot at the tag-team titles, but the challengers also had to put up the Patriot's mask on the line, if they lost he would unmask.

After a controversial double pin finish Stars and Stripes were declared the winners and thus the champions putting the end to Pretty Wonderful's second and final run with the gold.

Roma would receive a FedEx letter the next day informing him that his contract would not be renewed the following month as a result of his actions in the match with Wright.

In late 1995, after leaving WCW he joined the Catch Wrestling Association, winning the promotion's World Middleweight Championship by defeating Franz Schumann in October, and losing it to Fit Finlay the following month.

[26] In his debut match on March 6, 1992, Roma lost via TKO in the fourth round to a fighter named Jerry Arentzen, when his trainer threw in the towel.

[citation needed] Roma (alongside fellow wrestlers Mario Mancini and Dave Paradise) runs a wrestling training school in East Haven, Connecticut.
