Former WWE star Angelo Mosca’s career
Angelo Mosca rose to fame in the Canadian Football League (CFL), where he won the prestigious Grey Cup on five occasions. The iconic football player achieved a lot of success with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and was rightfully inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame for his accomplishments.
After wrapping up his football career, Mosca turned to professional wrestling and quickly gained fame as Angelo “King Kong” Mosca in the business.
He wrestled as a top heel for several promotions across North America before working for the WWE in 1981. Angelo Mosca would go on to famously feud with the likes of Bob Backlund and Pat Patterson in WWE, and he even briefly did color commentary for Vince McMahon’s promotion in later years.
The respected grappler left the WWE in 1985 and announced his retirement from active in-ring competition a year later.
All of us at Sportskeeda Wrestling extend our heartfelt condolences to Angelo Mosca’s fans, family, and friends.
