John "Johnny" Walker (born Honolulu, Hawaii) better known as "Mr. Wrestling II," was an accomplished American professional wrestler. II was one of the most popular wrestlers in the Florida and Georgia areas in the 1970's and early 1980's. Considered one of the greatest American wrestlers not to win a world title - masked or no mask. Finishing maneuver: the knee lift. Trained or mentored wrestlers Magnum T.A., Rick Rude, Tony Atlas, and Hercules Hernandez. President Jimmy Carter's favorite wrestler. Notable Feuds: The Assassin, The Spoiler, The Masked Superstar, Jack Brisco, Buddy Colt, Magnum T.A., Jimmy Garvin, Tim Woods, the Andersons, Larry Zbyszko, The Road Warriors.
