Early life and career
The Flying Scotts
They began teaming in Stampede Wrestling, winning the NWA Canadian Tag Team Championship in 1954. After a brief stint in Maple Leaf Gardens in 1955, The Flying Scotts, as they were known, became one of the top tag teams in the Toronto and Buffalo areas during the late 1950s. Defeating Chris and John Tolos for the Stampede International Tag Team Championship in 1958, they would feud with Butcher and Mad Dog Vachon the following year.
The duo returned to the Carolinas during the 1960s before eventually regained the Stampede International Tag Team Championship in 1963.
While in Stampede Wrestling in 1954, they became one of the most popular tag teams in Western Canada during their six-year stay in the promotion. At one event, in which they were featured in the main event against The Miller Brothers (Bill and Editor Miller), promoters were forced to turn away 6,000 at a Stampede Wrestling event before splitting up.
Later career
During the 1980s, he was an office executive for Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP). When JCP was purchased by Ted Turner and renamed World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he continued to work for the company.
He also acted as the host for WCW WorldWide.
