Cordell Crane · 6’2” · 241 pounds · from Amarillo, Texas · Handler: Brian Nelson
Cordell Crane is best known right now for being the color commentary voice of IWF/WOW, having joined that Toronto-based promotion in October 2002. However, his wrestling roots are in Pacific Coast Wrestling. He headed up the Northwest Mafia (with “Superstar” Steve Sampson and the Extremist) in the original PCW. He also worked for the Extreme Wrestling Association down in Anaheim, winning the EWA North American Championship at one point. He feuded violently across NOW and LWC with the legendary Otto “The Butcher” Verhoeven. Perhaps his most notable win was a victory over the legendary Gunnar “Grizzly” Gaines in the EWA, during the memorable “Death Row” feud between Gaines and the Dark Destroyer.
Appearance: Thick strawberry blonde crop of blades up top. Elvis-like sideburns. Modestly built (think Shane Douglas in his “Dean” days). Khaki colored singlet with pumpkin orange trim. Khaki knee-pads. Calf-length black boots. Basic white wrist tape.
