As Joe Scarpa, he saw his fair share of success, although it was not until donning the eagle’s feathers and tomahawk as Chief Jay Strongbow that he indeed became a megastar. It may seem unbelievable in hindsight, but Scarpa did not have his first World Wide Wrestling Federationrun until 1970 at the age of 42. Joe Scarpa was repackaged as a Native A...
