Before rising to fame, the legendary name in wrestling had already begun his journey back in 1966, stepping into the ring for his very first match and earning just $15—a humble start for someone who would later become such a prominent figure. Over time, that name grew synonymous with excellence, capturing multiple titles including the prestigious NWA World Heavyweight Championship, not once but twice as WWC Hardcore Champion, and also claiming the FC Tag Team Championship. Throughout his career, the name became a symbol of resilience and skill in the world of professional wrestling. Beyond his own accomplishments, the legacy carried forward through his children, Carly Colon and Eddie Colon, both of whom followed in his footsteps and became professional wrestlers themselves. Truly, the impact of this name echoes across generations in the sport.
He ended up with more than 70 scars on his forehead, all thanks to years of intense wrestling. It’s hard to imagine the number of matches and close calls he must’ve been through—each scar telling its own story. He really pushed himself in the sport, and those marks are a clear testament to his dedication and toughness. You can’t help but notice them, and they’ve become a defining part of who he is. He wears them almost like badges of honor, reminders of every fall, every grapple, every moment he got back up.
