Timeline

1936

Eddie Sharkey (born February 4, 1936) is an American professional wrestler, promoter, and trainer.

He is often called "The Trainer of Champions".

1950

Eddie Sharkey began his career in the wrestling industry as a wrestler in the 1950s.

However, it was his work as a trainer and mentor that brought him widespread recognition.

He has been instrumental in training many of the most notable talents in the sport including Jesse Ventura and the Road Warriors.

Eddie Sharkey's career in professional wrestling commenced on the carnival circuit in the late 1950s where he was trained and promoted by Boris Malenko, Bob Geigel, and Joe Scarpello.

1961

Sharkey made his American Wrestling Association (AWA) debut in Fargo, North Dakota in 1961 where he assumed the role of a Babyface.

During his tenure he had feuds with Danny Hodge, Bob Boyer, and Jack Donovan.

Sharkey left the AWA over a disagreement with promoter Verne Gagne.

1968

In September 1968, Sharkey clinched the National Wrestling Association (NWA) United States Heavyweight Championship from Jack Donovan.

The title was later retired.

1980

Although a chief rival of the American Wrestling Alliance during the late 1980s, Sharkey and Gagne eventually agreed to a talent exchange deal between the two promotions.

A number of PWA veterans were brought into the AWA during its last years including Derrick Dukes and Ricky Rice.

1982

In 1982, after leaving the AWA as a result of a pay dispute with promoter Verne Gagne, Sharkey was approached by fifteen other wrestlers similarly upset with Gagne over withholding payment and convinced Sharkey to start his own promotion.

Sharkey duly set up his own promotion Pro Wrestling America, starring his own trainees such as the two future members of the Road Warriors tag team (at this stage known as Crusher Von Haig and The Road Warrior respectively) as well as Rick Rude, and Barry Darsow ("Smash").

Sharkey was soon able to sign other wrestlers including Paul Ellering, Tom Zenk, Nikita Koloff, The Destruction Crew (Mike Enos & Wayne Bloom) and the Steiner Brothers (Rick & Scott Steiner) as well as Mad Dog Vachon, Bruiser Brody, Larry Cameron often making appearances.

Sharkey opened his own professional wrestling promotion, Pro Wrestling America, in 1982 and trained the men himself.

Growing up in Minneapolis, Sharkey was a huge wrestling fan.

His father, Tom Shyman, would frequently bring him to wrestling matches.

Sharkey took up boxing in his teens before transitioning into pro wrestling.

Sharkey's brother, James Shyman is an actor, director, and film producer.

Sharkey married professional wrestler Princess Little Cloud (Dixie Jordan).

They have two children together.

1986

In 1986, Eddie Sharkey and promoter Tony Condello worked out an agreement for PWA wrestlers to appear in televised wrestling events in central Canada.

Chris Markoff, Buck Zumhofe, Ricky Rice & Derrick Dukes and The Terminators (Riggs & Wolff) were among those who appeared in the territory.

Pro Wrestling America, among other regional promotions such as Georgia All-Star Wrestling and the United States Wrestling Association, also had a working relationship with the Global Wrestling Federation during its last years and allowed its own wrestlers compete in GWF tournaments and other events.

Jerry Lynn and The Lightning Kid, two of the promotion's top light heavyweight wrestlers, faced each other in a match to crown the first GWF Light Heavyweight Championship.

A number of PWA wrestlers often appeared on The Prima-Donns, a long-running Public-access television cable TV show in the Minneapolis-area, including Eddie Sharkey, Baron von Raschke, Nick Bockwinkel and Jerry Lynn.

The promotion has since occasionally toured Japan and the Middle East.While working at Gramma B's, Sharkey recognized the future that four of the bouncers (Hawk, Animal, Rick Rude, and Barry Darsow) could have in wrestling.
