338. Hard Boiled Haggerty

A legitimate tough guy, Hard Boiled Haggerty book ended a successful wrestling career with a couple of years in the National Football League and character roles in Hollywood. Haggerty never did anything of note in the World Wrestling Federation, but he was very successful in the AWA, where he captured the one half of their tag straps in the early 60’s. Haggerty would excel in both singles and teams, but he may have become a bigger name in wrestling lore due to his post ring accomplishments than he did because of what he did in it.
