Professional Wrestler. A favorite villain of Canadian wrestling, he portrayed a greatly hated Nazi type. He was usually billed as the older brother of wrestler "Fritz Von Erich", in spite of the fact that they were not German, not brothers, and not born with the name "Von Erich". Sieber made his first professional appearance in the sport in 1950 at the age of 17 and was said to have been the complete opposite of his ring persona, known as a kind and loving husband and father. After retiring from the ring in 1979, he became a trainer and helped many younger wrestlers to become pros. In the 29 years of his career he achieved much success as both a singles wrestler and as a tag team, with various partners. He won 9 singles championships, and 7 tag team championships. He died at 75, after an accidental fall.
