Known as "The New Zealand Terror," Jack Carter arrived in the United States in 1946 and worked with wrestling promoter Fred Kohler at Chicago's Marigold Arena and other venues throughout the Midwest. He was a junior heavyweight champion. According to Fight Times, Carter "was unknown in his homeland as a wrestler but met Lou Thesz, Gorgeous George, Yukon Eric, Primo Carnera, Tony Olivas and all the big names of the '60s." He later retired to Florida.
