Vic Christy

By the 1950s, Christy really found a home in Los Angeles and typically spent some times working their territory and the Hawaiian territories. Like most wrestlers, Christy really liked to keep busy by playing practical jokes on people. Sometimes he would take new arrivals and drive them all around Los Angeles for hours when the area was just 10 minutes from their hotel. He was a jack of all trades. Like most wrestlers, Christy grew too old to constantly wrestle so he found a job as the stunt double for Mike Mazurki on various productions including It's About Time and in Batman. He would frequently be cast with his brother as an extra in films and ended up a staple of western film sets because of his sense of humor. It wasn't uncommon for him to put his fellow extras in wrestling hold and for him to just joke around with everybody.

By the early 1940s, he made his way to Los Angeles where he appeared in a few pirate films but he also continued his regular profession by splitting time wrestling between territories located California and New York. He occasionally tagged with his real life brother Ted Christy but usually he appeared as a singles wrestler constantly ending in a no contest of a loss.

Vic Christy had a varied career in the entertainment industry. He started out as a professional wrestler in the 1930s working for Jack Curley promotions constantly working in New York in the legendary Madison Square Garden. Like most wrestlers, Christy never was a gigantic start but he was able to start out with a big push up the card. He natural size and his good looks made him a natural with the audience. He eventually drifted to Oregon where he was frequently featured near the top of the card.

Eventually he even won the Montreal Heavyweight Championship in the 1930s beating Yvonne Robert.
