By 1979 he had returned home and made his debut on French TV Wrestling, initially under his real name but soon adopting the Flesh Gordon identity. He wrestled for the FFCP, regularly teaming with Walter Bordes, with whom he co-held the FFCP French Tag Team Championship.[3] Later in the decade he would team with Prince Zéfy.[4] He became a regular on Eurosport's New Catch programme, also appearing in Wales for Welsh language channel S4C's Reslo wrestling show[4] and home video releases by the German CWA.
He became FFCP European champion in 1988 and World Light Heavyweight champion in 1992, then created a wrestling school in Faremoutiers in Seine et Marne.
In 1995, Belgian TV show Strip-Tease devoted an episode to him entitled Flesh Gordon and the Firemen.[5]
