10. He Was Trained By Killer Kowalski
Sandow began training at the tender age of 16 under late WWE Hallf of Famer Killer Kowalski, the man who also helped stars such as Triple H, Chyna, Perry Saturn and Big John Studd take their first tentative steps into the wrestling business.
He could scarcely have chosen a trainer with better experience. Veteran Kowalski wrestled for various promotions in the NWA, as well as World Wide Wrestling Federation, the company that would go on to become WWE. His most memorable rivalry was perhaps that with legendary babyface Bruno Sammartino in the 60s and 70s.
Kowalski also went down in history as the first man to pin Andre The Giant in North America.
