Trending
Johnny Rodz’s impact on the wrestling business is a lot more significant than you initially might think. While he enjoyed a solid wrestling career with the WWWF back in the 60s and 70s, Rodz would eventually turn to management, being responsible for the success of some well-known names.
Rodz began wrestling for the WWWF as far back as 1965, earning the nickname ‘The Unpredictable One’. Throughout his time in the ring, he would help the likes of Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant get over by allowing them to defeat him. It must have been a win-win situation back in the 1970s, as even if you were portrayed as an enhancement talent, at least you would be helping to enhance some of the biggest legends the business has ever known.
Johnny Rodz began his own wrestling promotion known as ‘The World of Unpredictable Wrestling’, mainly designed to help newcomers learn the basics of the sport. So while you may never have heard of Rodz himself, you would no doubt be aware of some of the men who owe their careers to him. Amongst his alumni are stars such as Tazz, Matt Striker, Tommy Dreamer and ‘Big Cass’ Colin Cassady.
