Austin Idol began his career as a power wrestler, which stood to reason considering he competed as a Power Lifter in the Super Heavyweight division. But we know the adage of strongman wrestlers, who although are marketable are rarely any good. After a plane crash that sidelined him, he remerged significantly lighter, with a new look, and the moniker of the “Universal Heartthrob”. The new persona was a winner, and though he was not on a national stage he was a draw in Southern promotions and feuded often with Jerry Lawler. Had Idol had a shot in the WWF, he could very well have done well there.
