I worked him several times as did Bill Ash, Jerry Brown, Steve Lawler, and many more. He had a friend in the office in the New York office that got him booked as Jules Strongbow. The difference between Frank and Jay, Frank is a real indian from Wisconsin, not Italy. Frank worked for Leroy at the Tulsa territory, I’m thinking, for over a year, because he was still there when George Scott took the book and then Ack came back several months later. Anyway, Frank’s debut was in Tulsa, OK. as Frank Hill, in 1980.

He broke in as a jobber in the AWA in 1976 and saw his 1st push around 1978 when Wahoo McDaniels did an angle that he trained with Frank and then took him to Japan for that year’s World League Tag Tournament…. Then in 1979 he worked in the Central States area and won the tag belts on July 19 1979 w/ Rufus R Jones – then in 1980 Francis worked the Los Angeles area briefly then went back to the Central States until he moved on to the Tri State Area
