If it was LA, it could have been Moto. I knew him only as Mr. Moto. There was also the Great Togo, as well as Tosh Togo. (Tosh Togo's real name was Harold Sakata and he played Oddjob in Goldfinger.)

That's an interesting site.

I see Cowboy Carlson died. I had an acquaintance who had won a wrestling scholorship at the University of Iowa under the great Coach McCusky and was to head to the olympics. He went to St. Louis to a gym where Cowboy Carlson trained out of curiosity. Once having got there he thought he's try his luck with Carlson. He said Carlson tied him up in knots so fast he didn't have a chance.

I see Yukon Eric died by suicide. I remember when he was one of the most powerful men in wrestling with what were then his incredible 19 1/2 inch arms. He used to bend steel around them in demonstration.

When I peaked out my arms were 18 1/2 inches and a 50++ inch chest. Ready to wear tailers didn't even bother to measure me. They just shook their heads and said there is no way we can come close to fitting you.
