He won the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Bull of the Year title in 1996 as well as other honors throughout his career.

In 1999, Terry Williams sold Red Wolf and three other noteworthy bulls (Hollywood, Moody Blues, and Locomotive Breath) to the Herrington Cattle Company for $200,000.

[6] Red Wolf maintained his powerful, intense performance ability far longer than other bulls, from 1995 through his retirement in 2000.

"[4] The next day, Red Wolf quickly dropped Bubba Dunn on the ground with the need for five stitches on his chin.

[4] The bull could also be dangerous to bystanders; Lambert described an incident in 1997: "while one of the judges was calculating the score Red Wolf ran him over.

Remembering that he had gotten five stitches on an earlier ride and that Red Wolf had accidentally killed Brent Thurman at the 1994 NFR, he was nervous.

"[4] Red Wolf was known as an "eliminator bull," challenging because of the lack of set pattern to his jumps.

Halfway into the ride, Thurman was bucked off and became entangled in his bull rope,[9] which pulled him underneath Red Wolf's hooves where he was stomped about his neck and head.

Thurman, unconscious, was dispatched to University Medical Center with severe cranial and facial fractures.

Red Wolf was not considered vicious for a bull, and the death was ruled a "freak accident."

[15] Red Wolf bucked in the PRCA and the Bud Light Cup Series (BLC), the elite circuit of the PBR.

In April 2016, Cody Lambert compared Red Wolf to then-active PBR bull Stanley Fatmax.

[21] Red Wolf died at age 18 on December 29, 2006, at the Herrington Ranch in Mont Belvieu, Texas.

Robby Herrington, the bull's owner, said that Red Wolf was treated "like a king" and was well-respected by both fans and competitors.

"Red Wolf was like the Jerry Rice of bucking bulls," said Ty Murray, PBR President.

[22] Randy Bernard, then-CEO of the PBR, commented on his athleticism and personality, describing his behavior at a ceremony held in his honor: [W]e honored him by bringing him out into the arena under a dark house ...When he made his entrance under the spot lights he came out and bowed his head like he knew it was his last time.
