The first time I ever saw him on TV here was in 1965 when he did a strong man act on WCW where he bent iron bars in his jaw and around his neck as well as driving nails into a board with his hands and then he got in the ring and was squashed in under a minute by Spriros Arion in one of his first matches here..
