In 1966, John Anson made his professional debut at age 17 against Ivan Koloff.
Leaving Calgary for Maple Leaf Wrestling in 1972, Anson began teaming with Bill Terry as German brothers Karl Von Hess and Karl von Shotz later facing Gino Brito, Tony Parisi and Dominic DeNucci in a 6-man tag team match with Hans Schmidt at the All-Star Wrestling Stadium Show at Jarry Park in Montreal, Quebec on August 28, 1972.
Defeating Jacques Rougeau and Gino Brito for the International Tag Team Championship in September, they would remain one of the top tag teams in the promotion regularly appearing at Maple Leaf Gardens between October 1972 and September 1973.
They would also wrestle for promoter Ed Farhat in Detroit later that year defeating Ben Justice and The Stomper for the Detroit version NWA World Tag Team Championship on December 9, 1972.
As Karl Von Schotz, he and Kurt Von Hess were one of the most hated "heels" in the Detroit-area while feuding with Fred Curry and Tony Marino over the NWA World Tag Team Championship during 1973-74.
After losing the tag team titles to Fred Curry and Tony Marino that same month, they would feud with Curry and Marino winning the NWA World Tag Team Championship 3 more times until finally losing the titles to Tony Marino and Bobo Brazil in early 1974.
While in the National Wrestling Federation, they would also Win the NWF World Tag Team Championship in May and held the titles until the promotions close later that year.
While touring New Japan Pro-Wrestling, he and Von Hess defeating Johnny Powers and Pat Patterson for the NWA North American Tag Team Championship before losing the titles to Antonio Inoki and Seiji Sakaguchi in Los Angeles, California on August 16, 1974.
After he and Terry split up in 1975, he competed in southern Ontario before returning to British Columbia the following year.
Defeating Frankie Laine for the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship in Calgary on February 6, he feuded with Eddie Morrow trading the title with him later that year.
Losing the Stampede North American Heavyweight Championship to The Stomper on July 2, 1977, Anson would move on to Pacific Northwest Wrestling where he and Ron Bass defeated Moondog Mayne and Les Thornton for the PNW Tag Team Championship on August 7.
Anson would eventually be replaced by Moondog Mayne however, leaving the promotion before the end of the year.
Holding the NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship before dropping the title to "Playboy" Buddy Rose while touring Hawaii in early 1978, he would also tour Newfoundland and Japan during the late 1970s.
He would have a brief stint promoting in Ontario and Newfoundland with Ed Farhat and Jack Kane during the 1980s, although he later opened a marina and resort near Vancouver.
Anson would spend his last years in Stampede Wrestling and Pacific Northwest Wrestling before his retirement in 1983.
