Spiros Arion
In 1964 Little convinced US wrestling promoters, Jim Barnett and Johnny Doyle that it was viable to bring professional wrestling to Australia. Little had previously worked with Doyle in the US. On 23 October 1964 Barnett and Doyle presented the first match of the World Championship Wrestling at the Sydney Stadium. A headline making event was when a television match for the Australian championship between Killer Karl Kox and Spiros Arion was declared ended due to time limit by Little. Kox responded by applying a wrestling manoeuvre, 'Brain Buster', to Little, who was hospitalised and called matches over the following month while wearing a neck brace. Little's memorable catchphrases included "Wham! Bam! Thank you Mam!", "All I can say is – Wow!", "Be There!" and "That's all there is, there isn't any more!". In 1978 Little retired from broadcasting although he continued to be associated with the sport into the 1980s.
