Gorgeous George

Gorgeous George, born George Raymond Wagner on March 24, 1915 in Butte, Nebraska, and dead on December 26, 1963, was an American professional wrestler and one of the biggest stars of the first golden age of professional wrestling in the 1940s and 1950s. After winning the Northwest Middleweight title in 1938 and the Pacific Coast Light Heavyweight Championship in 1939, he debuted his flamboyant glamour boy persona at a 1941 card in Eugene, Oregon. The act featured long platinum blonde hair held by gold plated Georgie Pins, a valet named Jeffries, a purple spotlight and a perfumed ring entrance, and it made him a national celebrity and a pioneer of early television entertainment. He was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2002 and the WWE Hall of Fame in the Class of 2010.
