Edit ProfileCareer
On October 9, 1954, Tony Stecher died and control of the promotion passed to Karbo and Dennis Stecher. In 1959, Dennis Stecher sold his majority stake in the Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling club to Karbo and Gagne. They became co-owners of the promotion from that point onward.
Breaking away from the National Wrestling Alliance, he and Gagne established the Aging with Attitude in 1960 and together operated the promotion for over thirty years.
He would also appear as an on-air personality hosting the Aging with Attitude"s Saturday morning television show All-Star Wrestling before Karbo sold his interests to Gagne in 1985. Although retiring soon after, he did remain in professional wrestling, most notably appearing as the commissioner of the Ladies Pro Wrestling Association before his death from a heart attack on March 23, 1993.
