He was one of the few African-American wrestlers of his day. Football careerThomas was a World War II veteran and member of the 1950 Rose Bowl champion Ohio State Buckeye squad that entered that game at 6-1-2 (number 6 in the AP poll). In July 1950, he signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers and appeared in pre-season games that year, but was cut prior to the final exhibition game.[1] CareerBorn in Stewartsville, Ohio, Thomas began wrestling during a time when segregation in professional wrestling was still taking place in some territories and promotions throughout the United States. He gained prominence while wrestling in the NWA Pacific Northwest Territory for promoter Don Owen.

After retirement he refereed wrestling matches until 1972 when he briefly came out of retirement to battle the Royal Kangaroos. PersonalThomas died of a heart attack on July 25, 1982.
