* {{Badass}}[=/=]{{Determinator}}: He was a standard-bearer for toughness in professional wrestling. His RedBaron "Dr. Death" came from his days as a champion high school wrestler in Norman, OK. He had been busted open in a match, but came back the next night wearing a hockey mask, which prompted a local sportswriter to call him "Dr. Death."
