George Gulas
George Gulas is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with his father Nick Gulas' professional wrestling promotion NWA Mid-America in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Gulas initially worked for NWA Mid-America, the Tennessee-based promotion owned by his father Nick, as a commentator and referee. While performing as a referee, Gulas was given top billing on promotional materials over the wrestlers. He became a professional wrestler in 1974 and was quickly positioned as a top star. He performed mainly on the eastern side of the NWA Mid-America territory in locations such as Nashville, Tennessee, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Louisville, Kentucky. He won his first championship later that year, teaming with Rufus R. Jones to win the NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championship.
Gulas formed a tag team with Jackie Fargo, with whom he won the NWA Mid-America Tag Team Championship on three occasions in 1974 and 1975, as well as winning the NWA United States Tag Team Championship once in 1975. In November 1974, Gulas, Fargo, and Dennis Hall won a tournament to be crowned the inaugural NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Champions.
Gulas won the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship five times in 1975 with a variety of partners, and again in 1976 with Charlie Cook and Dennis Hall. In 1976, Gulas won the NWA Mid-America Tag Team Championship a fourth time with Gorgeous George Jr.
In 1977 and 1978, Gulas teamed with Tojo Yamamoto, with the duo winning the NWA Mid-America Tag Team Championship twice.
In 1978, Gulas formed a tag team with Bobby Eaton known as the "Jet Set". The duo won the NWA Mid-America Tag Team Championship twice before separating in 1979.
In August 1979, Gulas unsuccessfully challenged NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race; during the match, Race reportedly undersold Gulas' punches and chops, prompting Gulas to yell "Daddy said sell!" Gulas won the NWA Mid-America Tag Team Championship once more with Ken Lucas in late 1979, then reformed the Jet Set with Eaton to win the title for a third time in early 1980. Gulas won the title twice more with Rocky Brewer later that year, marking a total of 12 reigns as NWA Mid-America Tag Team Champion. Between 1978 and 1980, Gulas won the NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Championship a further six times.
Gulas ceased wrestling regularly in 1980. The following year, NWA Mid-America folded. In 1982, Gulas and his former tag team partner Tojo Yamamoto opened a takeaway restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee selling Greek and "Oriental" dishes.
