Gypsy Joe
In 1959, "The Leader-Post" reported that Ted had won all of over 500 matches in his five-year career to that point. In 1960–61, Ted wrestled primarily in the southern United States, losing only twice in 24 matches, to Gypsy Joe and Man Mountain Managoff. On May 6, 1960, he won an 8-on-1 handicap match over a team including NWA Hall of Famer Angelo Savoldi and Don Kent.
