Billed as "The Madman from the [=Sudan=]," he started his career in Ontario in 1958 and became one of the true pioneers of hardcore wrestling. He was a huge star in Japan and Puerto Rico. Among his achievements, he is a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/alljapan/pwf-h.html All Japan Pro Wrestling PWF Heavyweight Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pr/wwc/wwc-h.html WWC (World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico) World Heavyweight Champion]], and was inducted into the Wrestling/{{WWE}} Hall of Fame in 2011.

He was a major draw all over the world for decades. He and Wrestling/DanSpivey faced Wrestling/BruiserBrody and Carlos Colon in Brody's last-ever match, on July 15, 1988. He was inducted into the ''[[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Wrestling Observer Newsletter]'' Hall of Fame in 1996, and into the Wrestling/{{WWE}} Hall of Fame in 2011.
