  SLAM! Wrestling Canadian Hall of Fame: Killer Kowalski
One day I hope to meet Killer Kowalski, I carry a peace of him with me in my heart whenever I take my children to my parents house to visit their papaw and my mind drifts off to my papaw and those stories he'd tell.
At least Killer was honest with me. If he was just a money hungry bastard trying to keep his school afloat he might have taken my money and I might have been hurt by some 300 pounder trying to make a name for himself.
Killer Kowalski provided endless hours of entertainment a kind of hero to a young boy without a father in those long ago few years and for that I will be eternally grateful to Walter Kowalski.

Throughout the next decade, Killer Kowalski continued to reign among the sport’s most hated villains, with his iron claw submission finisher hailed as one of the most feared holds in wrestling history (and one that was even mentioned in a Seinfeld episode years after his retirement!).
