He debuted in 1939 and, after working the carnival circuit, first made his name in Houston. When television came along, he jumped to St. Louis, where he became such a major name that he caused Sam Muchnick's outlawnote running in the same geographical area as, and in opposition to, an established promotion) body to merge with the existing National Wrestling Alliance territory there. While he won various regional titles over his career, he is most famous for being the first wrestler to hold both the NWA World Heavyweight Title and the WWWF (now WWE) World Heavyweight Title. In fact, it was a match he had with Lou Thesz that led to NWA Capitol Wrestling splitting from the NWA and renaming itself the WWWF. He retired from full-time competition in 1963 due to physical decline. He made a comeback in 1978 (when he was in his fifties), ultimately retiring once and for all in 1982. He passed away on June 26, 1992 after having suffered a series of strokes. He was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1994.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Charles "Buddy" Rogers, a Hollywood actor of the 1920s and '30s. | |

Dirty Coward: How some perceived his explanations about his health, just prior to his legendary WWWF championship loss to Bruno Sammartino. Rogers wasn't shy of the conventional dirty cheat either. | |

Arch-Enemy: He and Lou Thesz did not get along during their active careers. They mellowed toward each other later in life. | |
