John Anson joined pro wrestling in 1966 at just 17 years of age. In a career spanning nearly two decades, the Canadian wrestler competed for promotions like Stampede Wrestling and Big Time Wrestling, among others.

The retired wrestler became famous for his role as a German heel under the name Karl Von Schotz. He partnered with Kurt Von Hess and went on to find tremendous success in the early 1970s.

The duo held the NWA World Tag Team Championship four times, the International Tag Team Titles once, the NWA North American Tag Team Championship once, and the NWF World Tag Team Championship once.

He continued to work as “Handsome” John Anson in singles competition and brought the curtain down on his in-ring career in 1983. He was only 35 when he hung up his wrestling boots.

After his retirement, he opened a marina and resort near Vancouver. He later settled in the Caribbean and spent the last 25 years in Sosúa, Dominican Republic.

We at Sportskeeda Wrestling offer our heartfelt condolences to John Anson’s family and friends!
