Biography

  • British-born little person wrestler who started his career around 1949 and would compete around the world until he retired in 1997. He trained in Detroit and, although he came from the British working class, he took on the name "Lord Littlebrook" to play off of American stereotypes of British people. He wrestled frequently in Asia and Australia, as well as for Georgia Championship Wrestling and for the American Wrestling Association in Minnesota. He first won the World Midgets' Title in 1966. He teamed with King Kong Bundy and Little Tokyo against Hillbilly Jim, Little Beaver and the Haiti Kid at "WWE WrestleMania III" in 1987, with Bundy's team losing via disqualification due to Bundy dropping an elbow on Little Beaver. He managed the Royal Family (Jack Victory (Kenneth Rinehurst) and Rip Morgan)) in WCW. He also worked as a trainer, training several mini wrestlers as well as Edward Wiskoski. He also managed a stable of mini wrestlers and was in charge of getting them booked on a variety of shows.He passed away on September 9, 2016 due to Alzheimer's Disease and heart issues.
