A three-time bodybuilding champion, Tony Atlas earned the name "Mr USA" during these competitions. The name stuck when he turned to pro wrestling.

In Greek Mythology, Atlas was a titan who held the entire world upon his shoulders. Tony Atlas brought what seemed like superhuman strength to the wrestling ring, gorilla press slamming and pinning Hulk Hogan and body slamming Andre the Giant.

Atlas has struggled with substance abuse issues throughout his life, but in the last decade he seems to have overcome them. He was most recently seen as the manager of fellow strongman Mark Henry.
