They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, I really hope so, because I don’t have a lot of words for this one.

All the research over the past few months has turned up little on this pretty face. Apparently, The Monster was portrayed in the 70’s Los Angeles territory by a guy named Tony Rodriguez. Outside of that...nothing. Though probably not, this just might be the earliest “Frankenstein” gimmick in wrestling. At least two more followed: Dr. Frank and Frankenstein, both in the Memphis area. Somehow, it’s one of the few monster gimmicks that didn’t carry over into the Japanese feds.

If anyone has more info on this guy, let me know!
