He wrestled the Bruiser all the time, if I remember right.
They and Black Jack Lonzo (sp?) were on professional wrestling on TV all the time in the 1960s.

It's amazing I remember all those guys. I thought they were just local wrasslers.

Dick "The Bruiser" and a host of other wrestling greats came to our high school one time and did an exhibition wrestling show in our gymnasium. Very cool!

As I recall, he was Dick the Bruiser's long time tag team partner. I remember them always going against the Valiant brothers. (Luscious Jimmy and Handsome Johnny)
