Colt made his professional wrestling debut in 1964 in Massachusetts. In 1966, he formed a tag team with Ron Dupree as the Hell's Angels, a biker-themed tag team, in Phoenix, Arizona. Sometimes they were known as the California Hell's Angels or Comancheros. In 1968, the duo burned the American flag (
kayfabe) in Phoenix on TV which the promotion shut down due to the incident. They would win many tag team titles in Phoenix, and Detroit until breaking up in 1971. In 1969, he formed a tag team with
Jack Dillinger as the Chain Gang. Colt became Jim Dillinger. They won the
WWA World Tag Team Championship in Indianapolis from 1969 to 1970. In 1974, Colt reunited with Ron Dupree as the Hells Angels in the Gulf Coast, winning the
NWA Gulf Coast Tag Team Championship twice. The team suddenly ended on October 17, 1975, when Ron Dupree died from a heart attack while ring announcing. Afterwards, Colt would focus more on his singles career and changed his gimmick to that of a rocker. Colt won his first singles title the
NWA Mississippi Heavyweight Championship defeating
Cowboy Bob Kelly in March 1975. Superstar mainstay "Crazy" Chris Colt used
Alice Cooper's "
Welcome to My Nightmare" as his entrance music. This is one of the earliest instances of a promotion
playing theme music for wrestlers. Colt made his debut in Vancouver, Canada for
NWA All-Star Wrestling in 1979 winning the
NWA Canadian Tag Team Championship (Vancouver version) twice with
Bobby Jaggers and
Buddy Rose. He worked in Vancouver until 1982. Also in 1979, he made his debut in Portland, Oregon for

Dave McKigney's Big Bear Promotions in Ontario, Alabama, and Oregon. He changed his character in Alabama as Chris Von Colt to a
neo-nazi gimmick. Colt's last known matches happened in December 1987 for
Portland Wrestling. == Personal life ==
