Leroy McGuirk should have had a bigger career as a wrestler. McGuirk was the multi time NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion in the 30’s and 40’s but in 1950 a car accident took hampered his good eye (he had already lost the sight in the other one as a child) and his in-ring career was over. However, his wrestling career was far from over. He would become a top booker and promoter in the Midwest and an influential figure in the National Wrestling Alliance. There is very few held in higher regard than Leroy McGuirk in the business of pro wrestling.
