Axel Dieter Jr. wrote:
After amateur wrestling in the former famous wrestling club “Heros” Berlin, he turned pro in 1955. He got a chance from the then-successful promoter Kowalski. His first tournament took place in Krefeld, Germany, followed by tournaments in Braunschweig, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and many other cities in Germany. In 1958, he wrestled for the first time in foreign countries such as Spain, Great Britain, France, and Austria. In the year 1960, he went to Venezuela and the Caribbean. He took residence for two years in Caracas and Port of Spain. During this time, his career became very successful. He successfully wrestled great wrestlers like Mario Milano and Cyclone Negro. In 1963, he returned to Great Britain, where he was welcomed by a great article in the “Wrestler” magazine entitled “Germany Prince of Globetrotters.” He took residence in Barcelona, Spain, and stayed there for more than ten years, still wrestling worldwide, like Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Japan, Indonesia, Kenia, and many other countries. He became Germany’s most successful pro wrestler after the Second World War, winning the famous Hanover World Cup tournaments five times, twice, the European championship in Vienna, and once more, the European championship in Hanover, Germany. In those days, he defeated world-famous wrestlers like Dick Beyer the Destroyer, Moose Morowski, Ed Wiskowski (Col.DeBeers), Rene Lasartesse, Bret Hart, Hercules Ayala, Junk Yard Dog, Dynamite Kid (Tommy Billington), British Bulldog, Pat Roach and many more. He retired in 1987 but still kept busy refereeing and match-making. In 1997, he wrestled in the famous “Match of the Legends,” winning against Pat Roach. In the fall of 2004, he toured Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and finally, Nigeria with a group of German and Austrian wrestlers as a coach and matchmaker. Now, at 71, he is still very active and going very strong. He is a great father who is looking after his four kids, who are aged from 2 to 14 years.
