Timeline

1930

Harvey Maurice Evers (June 6, 1930 – December 22, 2012) was an American professional wrestler best known by his ring name, Rip Hawk.

Evers was born on June 6, 1930, in Indiana.

He was raised in Ohio.

1949

Hawk made his wrestling debut in 1949.

He began as an amateur in Ohio and was discovered by professional boxer Jack Dempsey, who convinced him to wrestle professionally.

His ring name came from a variety of sources: his sister called him "Rip" as a nickname, while a promoter gave him the last name "Hawk" due to his nose and his movements in the wrestling ring.

His nickname, "The Profile", was taken from actor John Barrymore.

1954

He was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1954, believing he could make a better living from wrestling.

He competed in several territories after returning to the United States, including Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia, Iowa.

He later moved to Missouri, where he competed in St. Joseph and St. Louis.

In St. Joseph, he had a scripted feud with Sonny Myers and Larry Hamilton.

1958

He continued to move around and held his first championship, the NWA Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Championship, while wrestling for NWA Western States Sports in 1958.

1960

He began his wrestling career in the Mid-Western United States before joining Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) in the early 1960s.

In the company, he teamed with fellow wrestler Swede Hanson as the "Blond Bombers," and the duo held several championships.

Hawk moved to North Carolina in the early 1960s, where he began competing for Jim Crockett Promotions, an organization run by Jim Crockett Sr. that promoted events in the Carolinas.

He met fellow wrestler Swede Hanson and approached Crockett about forming a tag team with Hanson.

Crockett agreed to the idea, and Hawk and Hanson began competing as the "Blond Bombers", named after their matching blond hair and their strength in the ring.

While competing in Australia, Hawk met manager Gary Hart.

He approached Crockett and convinced him to bring Hart to the Carolinas to manage Hawk and Hanson.

The team competed as heels (villains) and was unique for wearing suits to their matches, as most wrestlers did not worry about dressing like professionals outside of the ring.

They aroused anger from many spectators, some of whom threw acid or threatened the team with knives and guns.

They also had a following among some fans, and a fan club was formed for them at one point.

During interviews, Hawk spoke for the team while Hanson stood silently; Hawk occasionally insulted Hanson in the interviews, but Hanson did not respond.

The team competed in the Carolinas and Virginia, as well as touring overseas in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.

Hawk wrestled in other territories, including Texas, where he held the NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship and the Texas version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship (the latter while teaming with Rock Hunter).

Nine of his championships came as a member of the Blond Bombers, however.

1965

Hawk and Hanson were booked in an angle to win their first title together, the Florida version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship, on August 3, 1965.

They combined to hold the NWA Atlantic Coast Tag Team Championship on four occasions, which was the center of their feud with Johnny Weaver and George Becker.

They were also booked to win the IWA World Tag Team Championship on a wrestling tour of Tasmania.

The Blond Bombers were involved in a series of unusual matches in Jim Crockett Promotions; they faced other heel tag teams, which was a rarity at the time because most promoters stuck to good versus evil storylines.

They competed against such teams as Aldo Bogni and Bronko Lubich, Gene and Ole Anderson, and Skull Murphy and Brute Bernard.

1970

In the 1970s, he worked as a booker in JCP.

Hawk, along with Johnny Weaver, was also involved in booking, or scheduling, events in Jim Crockett Promotions, a task he took on in the early 1970s.

He also collaborated with Johnny Ringo to design the National Wrestling Alliance logo.

1971

In 1971, Hanson suffered a heart attack and had to take time off of wrestling.

Hawk competed as a singles wrestler and feuded with the Brisco brothers (Jack and Jerry).

2018

He began wrestling professionally in Ohio around his 18th birthday, and later moved to Chicago, where he trained for a year with Karl Pojello.

He also briefly wrestled in New York City.

Hawk was soon drafted to serve in the Korean War.

He joined the United States Marine Corps and continued to wrestle during his service.
