Here's Marc with Vittorio Apollo in New Haven, sometime in 1962.
The Great Hans Mortier was one of the most hated men in the game and was famous for his "Unbreakable" Full Nelson. he posed for this photo with Marc in 1962. His manager (and that of the Kangaroos), Wild Red Berry appeared to be somewhere else in his mind when this photo was taken.
Gordo Chihuahua, looking somewhat put-upon, also posed with Marc at New Haven Arena in 1962.
Here is the full image of the photo (sans signature) shown at the top of the Autographs page. Arnold Skaaland was by all accounts a nice guy, but not really championship caliber. He later managed the great scientific wrestler, Bob Backlund, to several World Titles.
