Loved the picture of Jay Strongbow. His real name was Joe Scarpa, an Italian American born in Philadelphia. And he often wrestled with Jules Strongbow his supposed brother. Jules real name was Frances Huntington, and he wrestled under many different names:
Bruce Huntington
Chief Frank Hill
Chief Jules Strongbow
Chief Running Hill
Frank Hill
Frankie Hill
Frank Running Hill
Jules Strongbow
Unlike Jay, it is reported Jules (his stage name) was an American Indian in real life and was actually a member of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska. Jay to my knowledge only used two names during his wrestling career, Jules and his real name Joe Scarpa. He took the Indian moniker in 1970 wrestling in the WWWF with McMahan.

I remember watching him back in the day, along with the Iron Sheik and Haystacks Calhoun, Freddie Blassie, and a bunch of others I can’t remember any more.
I grew out of it after I realized that they weren’t really trying to kill each other.
