Little sidenote....Raschke was his real name. He (in real life) was a schoolteacher and by all accounts was a helluva nice guy.

used to see him at state wrestling tourneys in the crowd.

he’s still alive.

at one Wrestlmania, Vichon had his fake leg ripped off and used as a weapon.

I met him at a golf tournament. He actually ran a craft shop in his retirement years. A very nice man, but many of the wrestlers of those days made neither the money nor had the pensions to live comfortably in retirement. He had to work much, much longer than he wanted to and was in a lot of pain in his later years.
