A perennial number one contender for the WWE championship, Killer Kowalski
will forever be known for one tragic incident that occurred at the Montreal
Forum some 50 years ago. While descending from the turnbuckles, the Windsor,
Ontario native grazed Yukon Eric’s ear, tearing part of it off.
The episode added to Kowalski’s already fierce reputation. Before
challenging Bruno Sammartino or Pedro Morales for the title, Kowalski
attempted to intimidate them with an anecdote about the wind sweeping up
behind Yukon Eric on the street, and spinning him around.
A longtime vegetarian, Kowalski outlasted many of his peers as an active
wrestler because of his dedication to fitness. In 1976, as one of the masked
Executioners, he and one of his training disciples, Big John Studd, became
WWE tag team champions. In the coming decades, his students would include
A-Train and Triple H.
