[Breaking News] "Golden Greek/Coach" John Tolos Passes Away

Legends Championship Wrestling would like to send out our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of "The Golden Greek" John Tolos. While Tolos was not a featured legend in Legends Championship Wrestling, there's not denying his impact on the wrestling business or his status as a legend.

During the 1950s and 60s, Tolos was part of the Canaadian Wrecking Crew with his brother, Chris. Together they became WWWF United States Tag Team Champions.

He also had a brief managerial career in Herb Abrams' UWF, managing Cowboy Bob Orton and the Power Twins, and in the WWF, where he managed Mr. Perfect and the Beverly Brothers as "The Coach."
