![]() Professor Toru TanakaReal name Charles Kalani. Kalani entered professional wrestling in 1967 and took the stage name, Professor Toru Tanaka. During his wrestling career, he brought a lot of martial art experience to the ring. He won tag team championships in 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1977 with a variety of partners, including Mr. Fuji, Dr. Hiro Ota, Mitsu Arakawa and Assasin #2. He also appeared in more than 20 films -- most notably "Perfect Weapon," "Running Man," "Last Action Hero" and "Missing in Action 2" -- and television series such as "Airwolf," "The A-Team" and "The Fall Guy. He was also the villian "Odd Job" in the James Bond Movie Goldfinger, with his razor sharp derby. He died of a heart attack on Aug. 22, 2000 in Lake Forest, CA.
![]() TatankaReal name Chris Chavis. Had his undefeated streak in the WWF stopped by Yokozuna(with the help of Ludvig Borga).
![]() ![]() Terry TaylorHis real name is Paul Taylor. He went from being a champion in the WCW to the WWF and being The Red Rooster!
![]() TazzHis real name is Steve Tazello. "BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!" Chilling words, but words that define Tazz, an ECW "Triple Crown" champion! Tazz was initially known as the Tazmaniac, who with Kevin Sullivan and Sabu held the ECW Tag Team Championship on two separate occasions. Shortly after trading in the jungle attire for the orange and black, Tazz suffered a neck injury that almost ended his career. True to form, Tazz defined the odds and returned with a vengeance! He turned his back on his fans and proceeded to destroy everyone in his path en route to becoming ECW Television Champion and World Champion. Along the way, Tazz choked out his competition with his Tazzmission maneuver. After joining the World Wrestling Federation, Tazz became the first man to defeat Kurt Angle in a match. Since then, Tazz excelled as both an in-ring performer and an announcer for Sunday Night HEAT and SmackDown!
TestHis name is Andrew Martin. He was trained by Bret Hart. Probably best known as Stephanie McMahon's (dupe?) Fiancee. While still learning the game, he worked the Saskatchewan-based Hardcore/Wild West circuit through Leo Burke, and actually won the promotion's heavyweight title in a triangle match against Burke and John Cosman. He was never tested as champion, as his win came on the last show promoted by that group. Test also spent time around Winnipeg as T.J. Thunder and Martin Kane. He has won the King of The Ring, held the tag team championships with Booker T. Formed a great tag team with Prince Albert as T & A, managed by Trish Stratus. In 2002, he was with fellow Canadians Lance Storm and Christian as The Anti Americans. He is now with Stacey Keibler (GRRRRR!!) and doing an angle about testicles.

![]() Jack TunneyToronto promoter for many decades and president of the NWA in 1960-61. He began working for Jack Corcoran's Queensbury Athletic Club in the 1930s along with his brother John. The Tunneys bought the promotion from Corcoran in 1939 with Johnny Tunney as head matchmaker until his sudden death in January 1940. Frank took control of the promotion after his brother's death and promoted shows in Southern Ontario until his own death at age 70 in 1983. Frank had worked in partnership with his friend Vince McMahon Sr. for many years in upstate New York. He was president of the WWF. He scored the promotional coup of an AWA vs WWF champion vs champion match on March 25, 1979 when Nick Bockwinkel and Bob Backlund wrestled to a double countout. Ricky Steamboat successfully defended his NWA U.S. title against Ric Flair on the same card. This was actually not the first meeting between two reigning world champions that Tunney had booked. In 1946, he promoted a match between NWA champion Wild Bill Longson and Massachusetts-based world champion Frank Sexton. It went to a 58-minute curfew draw. Some of the largest crowds Tunney drew to Maple Leaf Gardens included 16,000 to see Al & Tiny Mills defend their Canadian Open tag title against the Canadian dream team of Whipper Billy Watson and Yvon Robert in November 1953. The Mills Brothers also drew 15,000 to see them wrestle Watson and Hombre Montana that year. Other big crowds included 15,000 to see Watson defend his world title against Wild Bill Longson in 1947 and two houses of 15,000 for main events with Lou Thesz defending his NWA world title against Watson in 1956 -- including the show where Watson won the belt in March. Went into partnership with Jim Crockett in 1977, after The Sheik's run as a major draw had ended. Ric Flair became the dominant local attraction in the late 70s. George Scott would also become a partner in the promotion. After Tunney's death in 1983, the office was taken over by his nephew and former assistant, Jack Tunney. Frank's son Eddie Tunney was also a co-owner. The WWF held an event called the Frank Tunney Memorial Tag Team Tournament (actually a rip-off of an NWA event honoring Jim Crockett Sr.) in March 1987. They credited Tunney with bringing tag team matches to North America, which is what Tunney himself claimed when he presented his first team match in December 1942 (Whipper Billy Watson & Earl McCready vs. John Katan & Al "Bunny" Dunlop). The 1987 tournament was won by the Killer Bees: Jim Brunzell & B. Brian Blair.
