Timeline
Shag Thomas (born James Thomas, August 11, 1924 – July 25, 1982) was an American professional wrestler during the 1950s and 1960s.
He was one of the few African-American wrestlers of his day.
In his four years in high school the Big Reds went 31-6-1 and an Ohio Valley Athletic Association title.
Thomas was a 1942 graduate of Bellaire High School in Bellaire, Ohio playing football for the Big Reds under head coach John "Butch" Niemiec, a former star player at the University of Notre Dame under Knute Rockne.
Thomas was a World War II veteran and member of the 1950 Rose Bowl champion Ohio State Buckeye squad that entered that game at 6-1-2 (number 6 in the AP poll).
In July 1950, he signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers and appeared in pre-season games that year, but was cut prior to the final exhibition game.
Born in Stewartsville, Ohio, Thomas began wrestling during a time when segregation in professional wrestling was still taking place in some territories and promotions throughout the United States.
He gained prominence while wrestling in the NWA Pacific Northwest Territory for promoter Don Owen.
Owen did not segregate his wrestlers, and Thomas flourished there, winning the Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship twice and the Tag Team Championship 16 times.
Thomas' younger brother, Clyde Thomas, starred in the backfield for Ohio University on its undefeated team in 1960.
Clyde played football for the NFL Philadelphia Eagles, CFL British Columbia Lions, and UFL Wheeling Ironmen.
Thomas retired from wrestling in 1969 after defeating Roger Kirby by disqualification in his final match.
After retirement, he refereed wrestling matches on Owens' Portland Wrestling broadcast Saturday nights on KPTV.
In 1972, Thomas came out of retirement and returned to wrestling until 1976.
Thomas died of a heart attack on July 25, 1982, at the age of 57.
