He was a popular wrestler in Montreal, and was one of the promoters in the city in the 1980s. Active wrestler
Brito had a job for the promotion shuttling the wrestlers from city to city. Before becoming a professional wrestler at the age of seventeen, Brito was an amateur wrestler.
At age seventeen, he was trained by George Cannon.
He began working with Detroit promoters Bert Ruby and Harry Light over a year later. They later lost the title to The Executioners.
Brito continued to wrestle through the mid-80s. Promoting
He also promoted shows under the International Wrestling banner in Montreal beginning in the 1980s, when he earned a television deal for his promotion.
The promotion lost several key players in the mid-1980s, such as The Rougeaus, Rick Martel, and Dino Bravo.
lieutenant held events that sometimes had up to 10,000 fans in attendance. The company, however, went bankrupt in 1987, nine months after the aforementioned wrestlers left. The promotion was the last Quebec-based promotion to have a weekly television show.
After International Wrestling closed, Pat Patterson convinces Brito to be the WWWF promoter in Montreal, a job Brito held for four years.
In 2003, Brito began promoting again with a promotion called Canadian Professional Wrestling (CPW) in Hull, Quebec. He joined with promoter Paul Leduc and his Montreal-based promotion.
The promotion draws crowds of approximately 600 people every couple of months. More than 1,000 people attended the first anniversary event, in which Abdullah the Butcher and Pierre Carl Ouellet also participated.
In October 2004, at the age of 63, Brito wrestled a match for the promotion, a loss in a six-man tag team match.
In January 2005, the first of six events began airing on Canadian pay-per-view, which featured wrestlers from Brito"s CPW, as well as footage from his International Wrestling promotion. Finishing moves
