Missouri Wrestling Revival Trading Card #61 Tony Atlas!

Posted: Jan 22nd 2012 By: mikeiles

In the world of pro wrestling few men have ever had the physique like Missouri Wrestling Revival?s number sixty one in the MWR Trading Card set, MR USA Tony Atlas.

Throughout his career Atlas has enjoyed success and failures that has been documented in his great autobiography Atlas: Too Much? Too Soon released by Crowbar Press, co-authored with Scott Teal.

A member of both the WBBG Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame he has wrestled around the world the along with the biggest stars. Matches with Hulk Hogan, Harley Race and King Kong Bundy thrilled fans as he tested his power that won him the title MR USA among many other bodybuilding titles.

He would make history when he teamed with Rocky Johnson to defeat The Wild Samoans to win the Tag Team Title thus becoming the first ever African-American team to hold the belts. During his time in the sport he would hold also hold titles in the NWA and AWA.

Fans recently will remember Tony Atlas as he worked with ? The World?s Strongest Man? Mark Henry as he held the ECW Title. Later on ECW he was featured as the announcer for ?The Abraham Washington Show? segment each week. On December 12, 2011, he made a brief appearance to co-present the Slammy Award for ?Trending Superstar of the Year? with David Otunga.

In 2011, he would make his way to Midwest meeting fans with Dinner with the Legends and wrestling two matches at Harley Race?s World League Wrestling against Farmer Billy Hills and WLW Champion ?The Prince? Jason Jones (Oklafan Editor's Note: This Jason Jones is not "The Space Cowboy").

During the first night I had a chance to interview Atlas to discuss his match with Hills, his autobiography and the upcoming MWR Trading Card.
