Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Aloysius Martin "Lou" Thesz (April 24, 1916 – April 28, 2002) was an American Professional Wrestler. He is best known for his six reigns as NWA World Heavyweight Champion and for inventing such moves as the Lou Thesz Press, later used by everyone from "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to Mickie James, the STF, popularized by Masahiro Chono, who in turn came up with the STS variation used by John Cena, and the powerbomb, popularized by Sid Vicious, Big Van Vader, and Kevin Nash and used by too many wrestlers to start listing them here. He started his career in the 1930s and had his last match, against Chono, one of his students, in 1990. While he was primarily a singles wrestler, he also held the NWA (Vancouver) Pacific Coast Tag Team Title with the Outlaw (Dory Funk Sr.), and the NWA Southern (Tennessee) Tag Team Title with Jackie Fargo. He also competed for the Lucha Libre Internacional promotion in Mexico (governed by the UWA), for Jerry Lawler's CWA promotion in Memphis and won the Legends Battle Royal at a WWE house show at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ on November 6, 1987. He was inducted into the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame in 1996.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Aborted Arc: His "disputed" NWA World Heavyweight Champion angle was put to an end when Montreal promoter Eddie Quinn left the NWA and the NWA president Sam Muchnick put an end to "the dispute", "assuring" everyone Édouard Carpentier had no claim to a victory over Thesz. | |

The Ace When he defeated Everett Marshall for the American Wrestling Association(not that one) World Heavyweight Title, Thesz became the first man to be called world champion at age 21. Lou Thesz is technically the second NWA World Champion but is considered to be the first true "world" champion because he went around defeating the holders of rival belts to that claim and unifying them with his own. That and professional wrestling has never had anything as close to an undisputed world champion after Thesz's semi retirement. | |
