Serving more as a trivia note, George Wells' lone WrestleMania appearance came against one of the most famous stars in the history of the industry.

Falling to a Jake Roberts DDT at WrestleMania 2, Wells was dominated in 'The Snake's first appearance at the 'Showcase of the Immortals', but gained considerable spotlight on his prone frame when he allowed Jake to drape the slithering Damien over him in a jarring post-match visual for the day.

By the time of the April 1986 squash, Wells had over a decade of experience in the industry, working several territories around San Francisco, as well as establishing himself in Stampede Wrestling and Mid-Atlantic.

The Stampede link played into his WWE introduction, as he became Bret Hart's tag team partner for several preliminary matches before 'The Hitman' turned heel, joining up with Jim Neidhart to comfortably beat Wells and a rotating mix of temporary allies on television.

He'd leave WWE shortly after the WrestleMania 2 defeat, remaining mostly inactive until his 1992 retirement.
