hard at making a name for himself ia
the world of professional wrestling.
William Locklear, a Lumbee Indian
who is billed on the wrestling circuit
as "Chief Red Thunder," has been
quite successful in the ring since his
professional debut last March. The
Son of the late William Caster
Locklearand Ester LocMear of Pem
broke and a PSU graduate, "Red
Thunder" has wrestled primarily with
American Championship Wrestling.
1 ACW is an independent promo
tion ba9ed in western North Carolina.
Locklear was introduced to Mitch
Goude, ACW Chief Promoter, by
Harold Collins, owner of the Pem
broke Powerhosue and a three time
and current National Poweriifting
Champion. Locklear has trained at
Collins' gym for the past five years
with several partners, including his
brother, Samuel Locklear, and friends,
Wilton Clark and Spencer Carter.
" Harold con vinced me to give this
young man a try out, and he made the
most of the opportunity," said Goude.
The'tryout' was actually a live match
on a card in Pembroke dining Lumbee
Homecoming in July 1992 "Red
Thunder has competed very well
against some tough competition,"
stated Goude. "He has scored wins
* ?
against farmer South Atlantic star
Tyrone Knox and former NW A regu
lar Th underfoot, a crafty veteran
masked man
In what has been the young
granger's toughest test to date, he
was asked by the promoter to team
with Mighty Atar as a substitute for
his uyured partner. Their opponents
were then ACW Tag Team champi
ons Ricky Nelson and Coh Steele, two
NWA/WCW veterans a
"Red Thunder and Migity Atar a
nearly pulled offaa upaet. The match
eadedm controversy as Thiaader, who
had Neboa'a Aookfen pinned lo the a
