Famous Hamiltonian's:Chris & John Tolos

John & Chris Tolos

REAL NAMES: Chris & John Tolos
BORN: In Hamilton, Ontario
ALIASES/NICKNAMES: The Golden Greek(s), The Canadian Wrecking Crew

The Tolos brothers were among Hamilton's greatest wrestling exports. The legit gimmick of inseparable brothers, willing to defend each other to the death, headlined cards across North America. Chris Tolos explained this to Jim Freedman, in his book Drawing Heat: "We didn't need no clips, no pens or robes. We had a natural gimmick. Nobody really needs that stuff, foreign objects and all. The gimmick is to reach the fans. Understand them. Look them in the eye." They were world champions as a tag team, and also successful as singles wrestlers.

Chris continued to wrestle into the 1980s and, as a manager, worked briefly for the WWF as "Coach" in 1991.

Chris Tolos died Friday, August 13, 2005 in Hamilton, Ontario at St. Peter's Hospital. He was 75.

Fred Blassie vs. John Tolos was the blood feud to end all blood feuds in California in 1970.

Later,
Kenaz
