By the time Spiros Arion made his return to the then World Wide Wrestling Federation in the mid 70’s, he was already a star of international proportions.  The Greek born grappler had already been a star in Europe, but was already one of the biggest stars in Australia.  Arion came close to duplicating that status in the United States.

When Diamond Dallas Page announced in 1991 that he was going to give up managing to become a wrestler few gave him a chance.  As a manager, he was average at best, but the fact was at the age of thirty five he was entering a profession that was generally started by people ten to fifteen years younger.

A superstar in the All Japan Promotion, Tommy “Jumbo” Tsuruta was the man who unified the three major champions in the promotion and was the first ever “Triple Crown” Champion.  As impressive as that was, it was just a portion of what he would accomplish in professional wrestling.
