That's about it. Had a few stints in some minor football leagues but kept getting kicked out for roughness. So he decided to pick a fight with Bruno Sammartino and broke the hero's neck. Naturally this got the Superstars on him, leading to a series of brawls with Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund. Rumored that Hansen's level of violence helped convince McMahon Junior that letting his heroes fight for real would be crazy.
Oddly enough enjoyed a brief stint in Hollywood but retired to Japan.
