Dubbed the "Fire Brand from the Bronx" and the "Unpredictable", he was a proficient worker and a solid heel. Johnny would often tag with Jose Estrada, and Frank "the Gypsy" Rodriguez. For much of the next two decades through mid-1985, Rodz was a mainstay of the federation, though largely used as enhancement talent, for which he was praised by some of his peers. At times Rodz worked in Japan, Puerto Rico and other territories. On August 9, 1980, at the Showdown at Shea, he was defeated by Ivan Putski. His last WWE match was a loss to Gama Singh on June 19, 1985. NWA Hollywood Wrestling (1976-1978) For a time, he also worked with Mike and Gene LeBell's NWA Hollywood Wrestling.

Post-retirement In 1996, Rodz was inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame class of 1996 by Arnold Skaaland. On the March 1, 2007 episode of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Impact showed the Latin American Xchange (LAX) attacking Rodz as part of their feud with Team 3D. Ten days later at Destination X, he accompanied Team 3D to the ring for their Ghetto Brawl match with LAX at the pay-per-view.
