Wildman Zim

Wildman Zim (also spelled Zimm in some programs and results) wrestled around the United States for many years as a decent journeyman. Claiming to be from Borneo, he had long hair and tried his best to give off the Wildman image.

Zim had some matches in Arizona during the late 1930s, including some with Harold Murphy, the brother of a one-time area promoter.

Arizona was only one stop for this talented wrestler who always seemed to be on the road from territory to territory.

Of all the states, Zim seemed to love California the most. Upon his death, his ashes were spread over the Pacific Ocean coastline.
