Lou Thesz debuted in 1932 at the age of 16 and had his last match in 1990 in his 70's. He's credited with the invention of the german suplex, the Lou Thesz press, the STF, and the original powerbomb. Thesz was the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history at the age of 21. He unified many of the existing World Titles into the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and was the first Undisputed Champion and also the first to bring his title to Japan and defend it there. A St. Louis home grown golden boy, he drew lots of crowds and money despite being "just" a wrestler, and will be the top face of our promotion putting on great main event matches.

- Six Time Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion
