On September 10, 2011, Uno debuted inPro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) as a member of the Super Smash Bros. with Stupefied. In their debut match, they faced the RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime and Johnny Yuma), a tag team with a similar video game-themed gimmick, in a losing effort.[15] The Super Smash Bros. returned on December 10, 2011, this time losing a match against theAmerican Wolves (Davey Richards andEddie Edwards).[16] The Super Smash Bros. picked up their first win in PWG on March 17, 2012, by defeating former two-timePWG World Tag Team Champions,The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and the RockNES Monsters in a three-way match.[17] On April 21, the Super Smash Bros. defeated The Young Bucks in the opening round, Future Shock (Adam Cole andKyle O'Reilly) in the semifinal, and 2 Husky Black Guys (El Generico andWillie Mack) in the final round to win the2012 Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament and become number one contenders to thePWG World Tag Team Championship.[18]

Evil Uno andStu Grayson made their surprise debut asThe Dark Order atAEW Double or Nothing on May 25, 2019, appearing at the conclusion of the match betweenBest Friends andAngélico and Jack Evans. After the match was over, the lights went out and when they came back on, Uno and Grayson were in the ring. The lights went out a second time and when they came back on, masked henchmen surrounded the ring. The Order then attacked all four men. After the attack, the lights went out again and they disappeared.
In Chikara, Player Uno became popular for basing his gimmick, moveset, and attire around video games, specifically games for theNES andSNES consoles. One of his former trademarks was his pants, which had an NES controller design on one side; if the "Pause" button was pressed, he would stop moving, and if his opponent hit him while he was "paused", Player Uno wouldn't react until getting "unpaused". He was also famous for wearing gear in the color schemes of characters such asMario,Luigi, andWario. In recent years, Player Uno has stopped using both distinctive traits. In 2015, Dansereau repackaged himself as Evil Uno.
