Haystack Could Actually Wrestle
At a billed 604 lbs, Haystack Calhoun was the most well known super- heavyweight wrestler of his time. Never staying with a promotion very long, he was an attraction that worked all over the United States and as far abroad as Australia. Unlike most of the old school super-heavyweights, Calhoun actually used wrestling moves in his act.
Scruffy beard, good luck horse shoe hanging from a huge chain around his neck, bib overalls, always barefoot - Haystack Calhoun was a great attraction.
