From his start in the late 1950s until his departure from Arizona for Oregon in 1978, Tito Montez was the man to beat in Phoenix. Whoever the top villain was visiting the area, he was destined to feud with Tito.
Among his many feuds were long terms series of matches with Woody farmer, the Monroe Brothers, Gorgeous George, Gorgeous George Jr., Don Arnold, Jody Arnold, Bearcat Wright, Sweet Daddy Watts, Jerry Graham, The Lumberjacks, Eddie Sullivan, Hercules Stevenson, The Satin Medic, Buddy Rose, Killer Kane, Chuck Karbo, Henry Pulusso, Kurt Von Steiger, The Lumberjacks, Mr X, Charlie Carr and even The Sheik.
Tito's most famous feud would be with Bulldog Don Kent, with whom he had nine straight weeks of sellout crowd sin Phoenix, before he finally beat Kent in a cage match.
Most of Tito's feuds usually concluded when he got the villain into a cage match. The only man to ever beat him in a cage was Jody Arnold.
Tito passed away in Oregon a short while ago, but lived to be in his 80s. The legend remains behind.
