Ed Francis

Ed Francis

Ed Francis was a professional wrestler and wrestling promoter in Hawaii in the 1960s. Many wrestlers who came through Hawaii in the '60s and '70s were bound to come across the name Ed Francis. However, the glory days of territorial wrestling were coming to an end, and in 1979, he sold the dwindling Polynesian Pacific Wrestling promotion to "High Chief” Peter Maivia.

Personal life

Francis raised his children on the windward side of Kailua, Oahu. His two sons, Bill and Russ, also enjoyed a wrestling career for a little while. Russ also had a career in the NFL. One of the Francis brothers' contemporaries was wrestler Don Muraco; they attended high school together.
