I came across a lot of old wrestling figures at the flea market and can't seem to identify this guy. His trunks and wristbands lead me to believe he is some sort of generic wrestler or perhaps not a wrestler at all. So, who do you think he is?

It is 100% just a generic action figure.

A Little more background: it was grouped in with several figures made circa 1984. There is no manufacturer's stamp on it, but the other figures have REMCO stamped on them. There are a few Hogans and a Larry Zybsko that looks strikingly like Ricky Steamboat. It looks like we are going with generic.

If you thought may first post was epic, just wait for the third.

I was thinking the same thing, the hair is a bit too blonde but they have made up for it with the weathered face and one arm being bigger than the other.

I agree with TBE that it's most likely Orndorff if it's modeled after any real person.

Paul Orndorff was my first guess as well. I initially thought He-Man, but why would He-Man have knee pads? Well...There may be a few reasons why He-Man may have knee pads.

Third post.

It's not a wrestler, you can tell from the things around his wrists and those weird tights.

I go with generic as in the ones I used to get from the dollar store and immediately hate my decision to waste a hard earned dollar in my youth.

Still have 60 or so actual wrestling figures I could never part with, however.
