Guy Mitchell was unmasked in Australia as "The Destroyer" and they said that his name was "John Hill".. ~~~Several years later, he retured to Australia as "The Stomper" Guy Mitchell without any explanation.. Guy Mitchell formed a tag team with Joe Tomasso known as The Assassins (different from originals) in Dick The Bruiser's WWA.. Also in the WWA, Guy Mitchell wrestled as "Jerry Heenan" the brother tag team partner of a rookie named Bobby Heenan.. July 1971: The Sheik defeated The Assassin (Guy Mitchell) in a Death Match in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.. 1978: Guy Mitchell debuted on the WWWF as "Jerry Valiant", replacing Jimmy in the Valiant Brothers - teaming with Johnny.. May 2005: John Hill attended a "Valiant Brother Reunion" along with his "brothers" Jimmy & Johnny for the first time in 25 years! Rick Cave (fan of Big Time Wrestling in Detroit) wrote: Throughout the 70s, Guy Mitchell wrestled as The Stomper and formed a tag team with Ben Justice. Justice turned on Stomper during a boxing match against Killer Tim Brooks in Detroit when, while acting as Stomper's second in the corner, he put Stomper in a sleeperhold between rounds, allowing Brooks to win. The feud began a sleeper-vs.-sleeper battle between the two which lasted for months. Justice also formed a new team with Brooks. Stomper was also bloodied badly in a match when Dr. Jerry Graham began a short run as a crazed bloodthirsty heel in Detroit. Tony Marino would be the one that would exact revenge on Graham a few months later when Marino gave Graham the very treatment he had been giving opponents up to that time, bloodying Graham and leaving him laying.
