sense of the term. He was the star athlete early in his life in his high school in New York. Jim
Duggan would play football in College and also got his Bachelor’s Degree. After college his
football dream came to an end due to multiple knee injuries, Duggan instead tried out his
luck in wrestling. He was found by Fritz Von Erich, and then after undergoing training and a
brief stint in WWE, he started wrestling regularly in Georgia Championship wrestling.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan signed with WWE, then-WWF, after 4 years wrestling in outside

entered feuds with Andre ‘The Giant’ and Dino Bravo.

King Haku for the crown which Harley Race had vacated. He won the crown and would have
several feuds surrounding it. He would not win any Championships during his time in WWE,
although he would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
