#2 Gama Singh/The Great Gama
Gadowar Singh Sahota’s family initially immigrated from India to Canada in 1963. He was subsequently trained in professional wrestling by Stu Hart (the father of Bret and Owen Hart) at Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, Canada. He took his name from the original Great Gama, (famous Indian/Pakistani wrestler in the early 20th century)
Wrestling with a Turban, Gama Singh was the first wrestler of Indian origin to wrestle in the WWF. He wrestled some famous names such as Bob Orton (Randy Orton’s father) and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper while on tour with the company. He also won several titles at Stampede Wrestling and at NWA.
Here’s a video of him having a match against Owen Hart at Stampede Wrestling:
Now 61, he still occasionally wrestles. He was a famous heel in his time and is truly a pro wrestling icon for all South east Asians.
