Biography:Lou Thesz was known in Japan as 'God of Wrestling'—he was also called Tetsujin, which means 'Ironman.' Thesz held the NWA World Championship for the longest combined total of ten years, three months, and nine days.
While Thesz retired in 1990, after a final match in Japan at the age of 74, he continued to be involved in wrestling until his death in 2002.
When it came to modern wrestling, however, Thesz was highly critical referring to it as 'choreographed tumbling' with little actual wrestling skill involved.
