I believe the actor Lino Ventura wrestled as Lino Borrini. Does anyone have any details of his career and the injury which caused his retirement ? Thanks

thanks everyone
Lino Ventura was in an excellent film with the late great Richard Burton, called The Medusa Touch.
last night watched another his fantastic movie, this time he was the main character. it was a brilliant solo by Ventura, and the movie is called CLASSE TOUS RISQUES (1960), All-Risk Class. highly recommend to those of you who love old French movies.
He held the French version of the European Heavyweight Title in the mid 1950's.
love all his movies, last week watched his 1964 movie called GREED IN THE SUN, this movie also features Jean Paul Belmondo. Highly recommend.
Born Borini in Parma , Italy , wrestled here as Ventura in 1949.
Everything I have read a out him says he retired from wrestling because of injury/serious injury with no details of the injury at all.
