Birthplace: Victoria, Australia

Australian’s haven't exactly been commonplace in the WWE over the years. In a talent pool that includes Nathan Jones, it’s easy to see why Outback Jack is deemed the greatest wrestler to come from Down Under.

Jack had a 2-year stint with the then-WWF in the late-‘80s, with plans initially in place for him to have a Tag Team Championship run with Hillbilly Jim. Instead he found himself largely as just one step above jobbers like “Iron” Mike Sharpe and Steve Lombardi.

Most notable about Outback Jack’s WWF spell is a win over former WWF Champion The Iron Sheik.

With Buddy Murphy currently doing well as one half of NXT's Tag Team Champions, Outback Jack’s status as Australia’s best wrestling export may soon be under threat.
