Bill Hughes was a former Professional Wrestler. Originally from the UK, he settled in Long Beach, California when he retired. He wrestled at the Olympic auditorium in Los Angeles in the seventies. Was always billed as the heavy against the popular good guys in matches. I contacted him on line and met him in his apartment in Long Beach where he lived along with seven dogs, four cats and a Parrot. he was a very interesting guy. We talked about the days of Wrestling before it became what it is today. He passed away in 2007. He was ugly, but a sweet man and will always be remembered.
