Timeline
Rolland "Red" Bastien (January 27, 1931 – August 11, 2012) was an American professional wrestler best known for his time in Capital Wrestling Corporation where he was a three-time WWWF United States Tag Team Champion with his kayfabe brother, Lou Bastien.
He took part in football and swimming in high school and broke in on Midwest carnivals, fighting local toughs and learning wrestling the hard way.
Turning professional, he began in Chicago, Illinois and toured the United States with great success.
Bastien was small for a wrestler at 185 pounds, but he was quick, vigorous, fast and employed a wide assortment of aerial moves.
His teachers were Henry Kolln, Einar Olsen, Joe Pazandak and Verne Gagne, and his peak years were from 1959 to 1971.
His favorite finishing moves were the dropkick, flying head scissors, atomic drop and Abdominal stretch.
Bastien teamed up with Lou Klein to form the Bastien Brothers tag team and, in 1960, won the United States Tag Team Championship from Eddie and Jerry Graham in April 1960.
They won the title twice more in 1960, from the Grahams and then from the Fabulous Kangaroos (Roy Heffernan and Al Costello).
Bastien went on to win several more tag team championships.
He had a hot main event run in Florida in the late 1960s, including memorable bouts with Johnny Valentine.
In 1964, Bastein appeared in the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) and teamed briefly with champion Bruno Sammartino.
He returned for one match in Madison Square Garden in June 1970 (his last appearance there), being pinned by Professor Tanaka but prior to that, putting on an amazing performance, dominating most of the match.
In the mid to late 1970s, he returned to the WWWF/WWF, wrestling under a mask as "Texas Red".
In his retirement, Bastien became a trainer and a promoter, and discovered future wrestlers Steve "Sting" Borden and Jim "The Ultimate Warrior" Hellwig at a Gold's Gym and convinced them to become professional wrestlers.
Bastien and professional wrestling manager Rick Bassman formed an alliance of wrestlers called Powerteam USA, of which Borden and Hellwig were a part.
In September and October 1971, Bastien wrestled in Japan for the International Wrestling Enterprise promotion as part of its Dynamite Series.
They lost the titles to Kimura and Sugiyama several weeks later.
Bastien was the booker in Dallas, Texas.
Bastien made further tours with International Wrestling Enterprise in winter 1972 and winter 1973.
The team debuted in November 1985, and after the other two members left the group, Borden and Hellwig continued to tag together.
Bastien was good friends with fellow wrestler Roddy Piper and was the best man at his wedding.
Bastien served as president of the Cauliflower Alley Club for six years from 2001 to 2007, but was reported in 2010 to be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, his health progressively getting worse.
Bastien died on August 11, 2012, at age 81.
