Biography

H.B. Haggerty was an American professional wrestler and actor who, before his ring career, played football and served in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS New Jersey. Born in Los Angeles, he studied at Pasadena City College and the University of Denver before the Detroit Lions drafted him, and he later played defensive tackle for the Green Bay Packers. He made his wrestling debut in Green Bay under his real name, Don Stansauk, and became Hard Boiled Haggerty while working in Minneapolis. As an arrogant heel, he won tag team and singles titles beginning in 1950, including the IWA World Heavyweight Championship in 1956, when he defeated Killer Kowalski. After retiring he turned to acting, appearing in movies and in television shows such as Adam-12, Kung Fu, Get Smart and Happy Days, and in 1993 the Cauliflower Alley Club gave him its Iron Mike Mazurki Award. He died in 2004.

  1. About the name

    Haggerty got his ring name from Minneapolis promoter Wally Karbo, while an earlier promoter, Karl Pojello, had called him Don Sparrow because he thought Stansauk moved like a bird.

  2. A first

    Haggerty won his first singles title in Montreal in 1956, taking the IWA World Heavyweight Championship from Killer Kowalski, then lost it back to Kowalski in a rematch less than a month later.

  3. A first

    Haggerty teamed with Kinji Shibuya in NWA Minneapolis, and on April 22, 1958 they captured the Minneapolis version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Concerns about the referee for that title match led to the belt going back to the previous champions after just one day.
