• Shooting to stardom at age 21 as part of a now legendary Pro Wrestling Hall of
Fame¬–inducted tag team with Don Curtis, in which they headlined New York City’s

what is now known as the WWE Tag Team Title.
• Becoming one of the top singles stars in the business, eventually winning one
of the three major world heavyweight titles from the legendary Lou Thesz.

single-handedly came up with and crafted the now much-copied war and invasion
angles.

Iaukea, in which they took their bloody, violent battles on the road for various
