Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Harley Leland Race is a retired American professional wrestler and current promoter. During his career as a wrestler, he amassed seven National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship reigns at a time when wrestlers rarely repeated as champion, and worked for all of the major wrestling promotions, including the NWA, the American Wrestling Association, the World Wrestling Federation, and World Championship Wrestling. He was the first NWA United States Heavyweight Champion. Race is regarded by wrestling purists as one of the greatest champions of all time. Race was an early fan of professional wrestling, watching programming from the nearby Chicago territory on the DuMont Network. After overcoming polio as a child, he began training as a professional wrestler as a teen under former world champions Stanislaus and Wladek Zbyszko, who operated a farm in his native Missouri. While in high school, an altercation with another classmate led to the principal kneeing Race in the back of the head as he tried to break up the fight. Enraged, Race attacked him, resulting in his expulsion.
