One Mean Kiwi-Superstars Profile#80

Tony Garea

Real name: Anthony Gareljich

Hometown:  Auckland, New Zealand 

Membership: Superstars, partners with Haystacks Coulhoun, Dean Ho, Larry Zbyszko, Rick Martel

A.K.A.: Tony Garcia 

Finisher: Octopus Hold 

Background: At one point in time, Tony might have been great, even the leader of the Superstars. Top cop in Auckland, his name and exploits traveled to New York. Pedro Morales heard and brought him over to work with the Superstars and he did good. Not great, but he seemed to do best when partnered with someone. He was partnered with fellow super cop Dean Ho and did well enough, then he was with Superstar mascot Larry Zbyszko.

By 1980 he was finally partnered with Rick Martel. The team was good but sadly too bland for Vince Jr. He offered Garea an office job though and he took it. 

He's officially retired by now but for a while he walked among the best.
