The HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
Legends: Killer Kowalski
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, pays tribute to a great man who left us over the week-end.
Wladek “Walter” Kowalski was born in October, 1926, in Windsor, Ontario. He went to work with his father in an automobile factory before being discovered by wrestling scouts. Kowalski was trained by perhaps the most talented all-around wrestler of all time, Lou Thesz. Kowalski began his wrestling career in 1947.
