Ken Patera was one of the best presses of all times (for his bwt, Bill March was probably the best) and a former top Oylmpic lifter. He had acting job's in pro wrestling for a few years. His older brother had been a assistence coach in the NFL (believe at one time with the old LA Rams) and Ken did get into Pro ball for awhile, I think. Being somewhat of a free spirit he pretty much did what he wanted to in his day, I've heard. Natural strong man with or without weight training.
