Ahh...Billy "Red" Lyons and his Figure 4 Leg Lock....& Tag team with Red Bastien (I think his signature submission hold was "The Sleeper Hold") in the old AWA....

From Hamilton. Made his Maple Leaf Gardens debut in 1956. Wrestled future world champions Buddy Rogers and Gene Kiniski in his first four months at the Gardens. Teamed with Whipper Watson to face Tiny Mills & Krusher Kowalski in two Toronto main events in late 1960. Lyons and Ilio DiPaolo won the Canadian tag title from Mills & Kowalski in 1961.

Teamed with brother-in-law **** Beyer in a 1961 MLG match, which was Beyer's last Toronto appearance for 19 years as he would go west and become The Destroyer. Lyons continued to wrestle in Toronto through 1964 and then he too went west and teamed with The Destroyer to win the San Francisco version of the world tag title in 1965. Lost the belts to the legendary team of Ray Stevens and Pat Patterson. Lyons & Destroyer also won the All-Asian tag title in Japan that year.

Lyons wrestled regularly in Toronto in 1966 and left for Texas, where he won a tournament for the Texas title in 1967 and held the belt for nearly five months, before dropping it to Spoiler #1 (Don Jardine -- the two had wrestled each other in Toronto six years ealier). Lyons and Fritz Von Erich feuded with the Spoilers for the American tag title in early 1968.

While wrestling in the AWA in the late 1960s, Lyons was billed as British Empire champion. Challenged AWA champion Verne Gagne in 1969.

Formed a memorable tag team with Red Bastein in the late 1960s and early 70s, known as the Flying Redheads. Also teamed with Cowboy Bill Watts to win the U.S. tag title in Oklahoma in 1971. Won the same title with Tom Jones later that year. Returned to Texas and won the American title -- the top belt in the territory -- from the Spoiler in 1972.

Lyons returned to Toronto in 1973 and fought the Sheik late that year. In 1974 he began what would be a four-year run as one of the Crusaders, teaming with Dewey Robertson. They would win the Toronto version of the International tag title three times. Lyons also challenged Jack Brisco for the NWA title in a 1974 Gardens main event.

He retired as a wrestler in 1984 and worked as an assistant to Frank and Jack Tunney in the Toronto office while continuing to appear as part of the TV announcing/interviewing team. Was occasionally seen as one of the WWF's brigade of suits that would come out from the back to try to break up brawls. Worked for the WWF until retiring in the mid-1990s.
