Taken directly from the Victor Hugo novel, the Hunchback Of Notre Dame, this Quasimodo was a hump back who made the best out of his overall ugliness and wrestled.
Though he only made it to Arizona a handful of times while driving between Texas and California, his uncanny appearance, as he hobbled about the ring before the matches started, ringing a large bell which often found its way into the bout later on and dressed in his weird court jester outfit, always brought rounds of laugher mixed with boos.
The hunchback character received a far bigger push in Texas than in other places in the USA, though eh also made it as far as Europe. He proved to be a big draw in England and France.
But one may add his name tot he list of many oddball creations who passed through Arizona.
