The Ace: He's the only man to have ever held three different world titles from three different promotions on three continents (UWA Mexico in North America, New Japan in Asia and the German Catch Wrestling Association in Europe) simultaneously, making him the closest thing professional wrestling has ever had to a true world champion since the death of Lou Thesz, the first undisputed world wrestling champion.

Animal Motifs: For years he would wear a large smoke-emitting helmet to the ring that resembled a cross between a gas mask and a mammoth's head. Vince McMahon wanted to rename him "The Mastodon" so that he could trademark the name. He has the ability to turn into one in the WWF In Your House video game.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
