To some fans, he was a dominant champion. For others, he remains a complete unknown. This is the true story of pro wrestling’s most overlooked legend.
In 1981, Lynn Denton defeated both Andre the Giant and Dusty Rhodes in the New Orleans Superdome.

In 2014, The Ultimate Warrior acknowledged Denton in his WWE Hall of Fame speech and Jake Roberts has called him “one of my favorite guys to ever wrestle.” “The Grappler” was so widely admired that even UFC star Chael Sonnen imitates his classic interviews.
