By the time Angelo Savoldi entered the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the 60’s, he was at the tail end of his career and did not exactly have a stellar won/loss record for what would become the largest wrestling promotion in the world as he was mainly used to wrestle in the undercard. However, after a solid run in the 1930’s and 40’s, he would become a premiere Light Heavyweight, capturing the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship five times and was easily amongst the top pound for pound wrestlers of his generation.
