Stan Frazier

Professional wrestling career

Southeastern United States (1960–1985) At the beginning of his career, Frazier wrestled in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, especially Alabama and Florida. He used several ring names, including the "Pascagoula Plowboy". Because he was a local wrestler, he was very popular with the fans.

Frazier was discovered by Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler, who brought him to wrestle in the National Wrestling Alliance's (NWA) Mid-America region and later in the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA). He used many gimmicks in Tennessee, including Giant Rebel, the Lone Ranger, Giant Hillbilly and Tiny Frazier. Their title reign lasted five days, as they dropped the titles back to the Freebirds.

World Wrestling Federation (1985–1986)

In 1985 and 1986, Frazier wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation as Uncle Elmer. He was a member of a stable named the Hillbillies, which also included Hillbilly Jim, Cousin Junior, and Cousin Luke. They feuded with several of the WWF's top wrestlers, including Roddy Piper and Bob Orton Jr.

The evening's events led to a feud between Elmer and Ventura. Years later, Ventura claimed in a radio interview that to further the storyline, Vince McMahon told him to "bury them" during the ceremony. Uncle Elmer competed at the Los Angeles part of WrestleMania 2 in 1986, where he lost to "Adorable" Adrian Adonis. To earn additional money, Frazier was known for selling replica Rolex watches and other inexpensive merchandise, and he operated a shoe store.

Frazier suffered from diabetes and poor health as a result of his weight.
