The Beast

Several people wrestled as The Beast in Arizona over the years, but this particular Beast was named Ivan Cormier and he came from Canada.

Though being pushed big in Texas at the same time as a tag team partner with one Butcher Brower, he only had one Arizona match, ever, when he lost to Ron Pritchard in 1973.

Go figure. No one knows why he was not seen more often, as he seemed to be a decent heel.

he was  a stocky man with a beard and close cut dark hair. He had a certain in ring arrogance about him as well,  that the fans hated from the onset.

He died in 2009.
