Gary Hart really made the rounds as a wrestler in the Wisconsin - Illinois area in the early '60s , believe it or not, was a bleech-blonde "nature boy" type as a wrestler in the mid-60s known as "Gay" Gary Hart , but he is best remembered for his heel-manager roll in promotions like World Class Championship Wrestling.
A list of wrestlers that Hart managed reads like a who's who of professional wrestling: Angelo Poffo, George "The Animal" Steele, The Kangaroos (Al Costello, and Karl von Brauner), Missouri Mauler and Brute Bernard, The Spoiler (Don Jardine), Mark Lewin, Curtis Iaukea, the Great Kabuki, the Great Muta, Pak Song, Bob Orton Jr., Dicky Slater, Buzz Sawyer, Bruiser Brody, Gino Hernandez, Al Perez. In all, there were probably 25-30 wrestlers.
