Froelich was born in West Germany and emigrated to Canada in 1956 to avoid being drafted by the German army. He was gymnast. In 1960, he made his professional wrestling debut in Vancouver after he was trained by Canadian wrestler Rod Fenton. Became a household name for the promotion. In 1966, Froelich made his debut for
Pacific Northwest Wrestling and spent many years there. He wrestled barefoot. Froelich's signature move was the nip up, a move that came about when he was laying flat on his back in the ring and would bring his legs up to his stomach and throw himself forward into a standing position. During his career, he worked in many countries in England, Puerto Rico, Japan, Fiji, Hawaii and Australia. On August 12, 1972, Froelich won his first and only singles title when he won
NWA "Beat the Champ" Television Championship defeating
Kinji Shibuya. He dropped the title to
Masa Saito a month later. In 1977, Froliech teamed with Mr. X and won the
NWA Canadian Tag Team Championship (Vancouver version). Froelich retired from wrestling in 1982 due to open heart and lung surgeries, knee and hip replacements. ==Personal life and death==
