Bob Roop was an American amateur wrestler who represented the USA in Greco Roman Wrestling at the 1968 Olympic Games. Started out in Florida as a pro, and was the bloke that young rookies had to get in the training ring with, to see if they had what it takes to enter the business.
I remember seeing him on some obscure mid 80's US video tapes (when video rental stores were all the rage).
There are several podcasts by Bob Roop on Wrestlecopia.com, with many mentions of British wrestlers,and his time over here.Tony Charles gets much praise

I didn't realise he had ventured over here.
