Edward Wiskoski

Early life Wiskoski was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1945, to immigrant parents from Poland. He stated his parents, who spoke limited English, forbade him from learning the Polish language in the hopes he would better assimilate, and that members of his family had anglicized their surname to "Wilkins". the leader of the Diamond Exchange stable, and his Diamond Dolls. During that short time, he would try to force his opponent to leave on a stretcher.

Later career (1991–2005) While in Herb Abrams' UWF, DeBeers became involved in more controversy based on race, this time involving referee Larry Sampson, an African-American. After a match with Louie Spicolli, DeBeers attempted to attack Sampson before Iceman Parsons came to the save and became involved in a short feud with DeBeers. He also demanded that Sampson be replaced before his match with Billy Jack Haynes stating "I will not have a black man refereeing my matches". Despite Haynes' attempts to have Sampson reinstated DeBeers' request was granted and he was replaced by Jesse Hernandez. After a separate match with Haynes, DeBeers attacked Sampson from behind and hit him with a DDT. DeBeers was to be suspended for 180 days for his actions but Sampson refused to sign the contract initiating it and instead wanted to sign a contract that allowed him to referee a match involving DeBeers. During the 1990s, DeBeers promoted Aryan Nations and Richard Butler's Church of Jesus Christ–Christian during his performances.

On January 29, 2005, DeBeers wrestled his last match at WrestleReunion teaming with his former tag partner Buddy Rose and Bob Orton Jr. as they lost to Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka and Jimmy Valiant in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Later life and death Wiskoski and Rose ran a wrestling school in Portland, Oregon
