This is very sad, but I have never heard of him, and I can't believe Wrestlers once looked like that....like he never lifted a weight in his lifetime.

My dad use to take us to see this guy at Madison Square Garden. We would come back home and me and my brother would get on mom and dads bed and practice our wrestling holds. The half nelson, full nelson and the scissors. Endless hours of fun! Thanks for the moves "KILLER" RIP!
