The Chief-Superstars Profile#86

Chief Jay Strongbow

Real name: Luke Scarpa

Hometown:  Pawhuska, OK

Membership: Strongbow Brothers, Superstars, partners with Billy White Wolf, Peter Maivia, Don Curtis

A.K.A.: Joe Scarpa

Finisher: Tomahawk Chop

Background: Look, it was the 1970s. 

Yeah, Luke was wishing to get into the hero business so he figured a gimmick would be the best thing. He did some stuff under his own name, but that didn't get him the attention or the big bucks. So he decided to became a Native American. 

Yeah, 1970s man. He had a good run with the Superstars but a return in 1982 gave little rewards. Vince Jr. still brought him on, as Strongbow still had some fans, but his slower pace didn't exactly connect with the fans. 

He retired in 1986.
