He went on to form a tag team, The Gangstas, with Mustafa Saed in Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW).

They engaged in a long feud with the Rock 'N Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson). During their stint, the NAACP would picket outside the performance venues because of the "Gangsta" gimmick, claiming that no racial violence had occurred in the Tennessee area for years, and they didn't want the reputation of gangsters to be put into the Tennessee area.

After having many matches in CZW, Kasai returned to Japan.
