Ultraman

Ultraman wrestled in Japan, Korea, Mexico and the western part of the USA in a long career that spanned two decades. Derived from a  popular super hero, the role went over well with the fans, though it was never certain who hid behind the hood.

The move that brought him to the California/Arizona area was a slick one, for he claimed he had the pull to bring a load of wrestlers to Japan. Thus, promoters booked him with hope of an exchange, yet lacked the intelligence not to book him first.

The result?

You guessed it. he wrestled in the USA like he wanted to do and returned to his homeland with more pull, but the promised reciprocation never happened.

People he faced in the western USA and the Mexican border included Cerberus, El Medico  and Toltec, usually in scientific matches.
