Ellering is best known for managing the Legion of Doom when they were also known as The Road Warriors from 1983 until 1997 during their stints in the American Wrestling Association, the National Wrestling Alliance, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and the World Wrestling Federation. Throughout 1998 he managed the Disciples of Apocalypse, who were then feuding with the Legion of Doom.
Although primarily a manager, Ellering has stepped between the ropes as a competitor, notably at the 1987 NWA Great American Bash in which he joined the Road Warriors, Nikita Koloff and Dusty Rhodes to face The Four Horsemen and their manager James J. Dillon in the first ever War Games. Ellering would also face Teddy Long in a 'Hair vs. Hair' match at the WCW Capitol Combat event in 1990.
After retiring from professional wrestling, he traveled to Alaska to become a sled dog racer, participating in the Iditarod many times. In one of his Iditarod runs, he fell asleep while mushing his dogs, and the subzero temperatures froze the glass of his goggles to one of his eyes, scratching the cornea. Not having very powerful eyesight to begin with, it was believed that Ellering would totally lose sight in that eye, but doctors were able to restore the eye to its former strength.
Ellering currently owns and opperates The Historic Rock Tavern in Grey Eagle, Minnesota on Big Birch Lake.
Paul is married to Joan [[1]] and has three children, named Rebecca, Rachael and Saul [[2]].
