Who am I?
I wrestled professionally from 1952 - 1974.
I was obliged to retire because California laws prohibited anyone over 55 from getting a wrestling license.
I later became a prominent manager in the World Wrestling Federation, and I am a member of its Hall of Fame.
I was the co-star of a 1983 movie, with Andy Kaufman.
I coined the term 'pencil-neck geek'.

Classy Freddy Blassie.
(Famously, his last words on a public wrestling show were "Devon. Get the tables!")
