Freddie Blassie
Peruzović met his wife Lynn in 1970, and became an American citizen that year. In Freddie Blassie's autobiography "Listen, You Pencil Neck Geeks", he describes Peruzović as a "good family man" who helped Blassie reconnect with a daughter from whom he had been estranged for many years. In a 2009 shoot interview released by Pro Wrestling Diary on DVD, Peruzović discusses his in-depth history with Freddie Blassie as well as helping Blassie re-connect with his daughter.
