Hi Ron, I re-read Kendo on stampede. Unusual for me as The US stuff doesn't interest me much.
Anyway in your article the is a small picture of Ursus.
I immediately thought it looked like the younger Bert Assirati that I saw in the late 1950's.
Does anyone else see that likeness?
He reminds me of Boston Blackie who had an excellent bout versus Yanus Selectman on Welsh TV in a much later era
the name is in use again in WWC in Puerto Rico again a big lad cerrainly not as muscular but this guy is masked and hsd to be close to 400lbs, look for the Mighty Ursus
Hi Sax. that latest picture with moustache does look more like Jim Hussey, but look at the photo on Stampede with Geoff Portz. no moustache and almost going bald.
In that picture, he has more of a look of Jim Hussey, to me at least.
Yes Bernard , a taller man but a 350 pounder. A veteran by the time he worked with Kendo.
But he went in with all the big guys like Abdullah the Butcher etc.
The upper body very much like Bert.
Real name Jesse Ortega.
