Please support our site and help keep our tribute alive.  We don't make any money from this site.  All donations received, as well as all proceeds earned from the sale of merchandise and ads, go to two places.  The first is to pay for the monthly costs of running the site and the second is to our AZWL Benevolent Fund.

The fund helps those Arizona Wrestling Legends in time of need.  In the past, our main use for the funds has been to provide travel assistance (such as hotel rooms) to our legends traveling to our annual reunion from out of state. 

Thank you for your generousity.  We sincerely appreciate your support.

Even though he stands less than five and a half feet tall, Super Argo was still a force to be reckoned with in the wrestling ring. The master of over 100 different wrestling holds, he proved that you can pack a lot of dynamite into a small package. Super Argo has had wrestling in his blood from an early age. In fact, he says one of his most cherished memories was meeting his idol, Tito Montez, when he was eight years old.

Throughout his wrestling career, Super Argo was a favorite of the wrestling fans. They loved his speed and skill, combined with an aggressive streak that allowed him to find out just how good an opponent really was.

Aside from being a star in the wrestling ring, he was also a gentleman outside of the ring - always making time for his fans.

These days, Super Argo is still involved in wrestling and will take a match when the offer is right. Aside from wrestling, he is also the owner of several business ventures.
