Larry Johnson: By the Numbers

Posted: Sep 5th 2024 By: Oklafan Staff

Oklafan recently acknowledged the death of pro wrestler Larry Johnson, who competed primarily as Sonny King. Below is a complete retrospective of his career as far as Oklafan is able to document. We have included a listing of all the Oklahoma matches Johnson competed in, a win/loss record, a breakdown of singles and tag team matches and a year-by-year documentation of the number of matches he had in Oklahoma.

We hope that this record serves as small reminder of the legacy that Johnson left behind.
