Wrestling's first crossover superstar carved out a career that reached from the earliest days of television to the consolidation of all the local leagues under the banner of World Wrestling. As a wrestler he stood unbeaten in every major championship and he continued his winning streak even after injuries forced his retirement, managing many wrestling stars including Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Jesse 'The Body' Ventura. A larger than life personality, he was as recognisable on the streets of Los Angeles as any movie star.
