The Great Antonio

Era - 1960s / 1970s - JWA / NJPW

Pro wrestling has often hosted some colorful and eccentric characters and Antonio Barichievich certainly was one of them. Primarily a strongman by trade, able to tow multiple buses and even trains, the Great Antonio also would occasionally try his hand at wrestling.

He challenged and lost to Rikidozan in the early 60s, but Antonio's most notorious moment was almost two decades later in 1977, when he fought against Antonio Inoki. The Great Antonio would demonstrate his ability to absorb the New Japan star's attacks for the first part of the match, showing an increasing disdain for Inoki as it went on. Eventually, Inoki would snap, taking the Great Antonio down and stomping him repeatedly, knocking him senseless.
