#3 Canadian Wrestlers That Should Be Remembered: Archie 'The Stomper' Gouldie
As far as Canadian wrestlers of his generation goes, no one was as notorious as the Mongolian Stomper. While a great deal of his success came in Canada, it hadn't begun that way. Gouldie would capture the NWA US Heavyweight Championship.

However, it isn't the same NWA championship that the likes of 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes or Sting but rather the Central States rendition of the title. It wasn't until he traveled to Stampede Wrestling and competed under Stu Hart's promotion that he truly flourished. As a decorated fourteen time, Stampede North American Champion, Gouldie was a prominent force to be reckoned with. His matches against Billy Robinson were well-received.
In his later years, the Carbon, Alberta native competed for Smoking Mountain Wrestling feuding with the likes of 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndoff and Kevin Sullivan. Gouldie didn't compete under the Mongolian gimmick but remained true to the woodsman as simply the Stomper. Gouldie passed away in 2016 while his wrestling career ended in 1995. The Stomper's wrestled in four different decades. Gouldie is among the Canadian wrestlers that need to be remembered.
