In 1975 he returned to wrestling. By 1976, Raymond Rougeau was in Atlanta working for Jim Barnette, and he would correspond with Lefebvre. Lefebrve would wrestle in Atlanta for GCW (Georgia Championship Wrestling) until 1979.

In 1980 he would then returned to Montreal for Varoussac International wrestling. He became very successful winning the International Heavyweight title. He won the Canadian International Tag Team titles seven times with Michel Dubois, Pat Patterson, Billy Robinson, and Frenchy Martin. He feuded with the likes of the Rougeaus, Gino Brito, Tony Parisi, and Dino Bravo. He then went to Japan in 1984 and WWE in house shows that were hosted in Montreal and Quebec in 1985.

He was called "Mad Dog' because of his look a like to Mad Dog Vachon.

Lefebvre, Tarzan Tyler, and referee Adrien Desbois were on their way home from the matches at Centre Georges-Vezina in Chicoutimi on the evening of December 24, 1985 when they were in a terrible car accident. Their Ford Escort rammed a tow truck at 1:25 a.m. on an icy Route 175 in the Parc des Laurentides. All three men were killed; the driver of the tow truck was unharmed. The news quickly made the rounds, especially with the tragedy coming so close to Christmas. They did around the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
