Not Good at Wrestling: Baron Von Raschke

Pro wrestling is often a mirror of society, so during World War Two came the advent of Baron Von Raschke, evil German from Munich.

He was actually the thoroughly American James Donald Raschke, and his gimmick was all that kept his career going. Raschke was a large man, but not particularly athletic even though he had legitimate amateur wrestling chops.

His claw hold is rarely used today because it just looks silly, and Raschke's enormous success has little to do with his wrestling ability.
