used a number of "sound-alike" wrestlers including, most notably, "Hobo" Brazil (Austin Johnson and Rufus R. Jones), "Ted" Blassie (Don Carson), The Great Mortimer (Harley Race), Haystacks Muldoon (Bill Toomey), Lou Khesz (Al Tomko), Prince Kukuya (Carlos Colon), Bull Montana (Lenny Montana), Franz (Chris Markoff) and Naldo Von Eric (Chris Jelavrou), "Bummy" Rogers (Ripper Collins), Bruno "Sanmartino" (Isaac Rosario) and The Fabulous Zangaroos (Bull Montana and Gene Dundee). The wrestlers who came through Big Time Wrestling, and especially the Santos wrestling school, shared a unique type of friendship throughout their careers. At one point, Pat Patterson, Ronnie and Terry Garvin, Ronnie Dupree, Don Kindred and Les Thatcher all shared a rooming house on Westland Avenue for $10 a week. Luke Graham and Frank Hill lived at the YMCA on Huntington Avenue. It was not unusual for even Big Time's top stars to have a second job in order to supplement their income. The Boston Bruiser worked as a taxi driver and Frankie Scarpa was a toll collector for the Port Authority. Shortly after arriving in Boston, Les Thatcher got a job delivering ice, with blocks weighing as much as 25 lbs., to the city's tenement sections which were still using ice boxes. Santos and the other wrestlers were also known for playing "ribs", or practical jokes, on each other. Terry Garvin once called a Boston newspaper claiming that Santos had passed away in retaliation for a prank the promoter had played on him. Even Pfefer himself inadvertently became involved in a humorous altercation with a Santos wrestler. One night, upon discovering Pfefer taking a nap in the locker room, rookie Joe "Red" Sasso mistook him for a homeless man and threw the elderly, shabbily-dressed booker out of the building. After The Fabulous Moolah lost the women's title to Rita Cortez in October 1963, Moolah ended her relationship with Santos' booker, Jack Pfefer. She allegedly caught her manager and common-law husband, Buddy Lee in bed with Cortez which led to their breakup. Legal disputes In May 1962, Black Ozzie escaped from captivity after falling out of the truck transporting her on U.S. Route 1. Tony Santos, who had recently sold Black Ozzie, agreed to help recapture the ex-wrestling bear. Santos and his son accompanied law enforcement assigned to track down the escaped bear. The group was composed of twenty Massachusetts state troopers and additional police officers from Dedham, Norwood and Westwood.
