Robert Geigel was an American professional wrestling promoter and also a former professional wrestler. Geigel ran the NWA Central States promotion between 1958 and 1986, until it was bought out by Jim Crockett Promotions. He was also president of the National Wrestling Alliance for most of the years 1978 to 1987.

Career

A graduate of the University of Iowa, Geigel was billed as "Texas" Bob Geigel, though he was generally introduced as being from Algona, Iowa. He also wrestled as A-Bomber while working under a mask in Amarillo.

Geigel frequently held tag team championships in his home promotion, holding the NWA Central States World Tag Team Championship four times, [http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/centralstates/nwa/cs-nwa-t.html#world2 NWA World Tag Team Championship (Central States) at Wrestling-Titles.com] ] and the NWA North American Tag Team Championship nine times. [http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/centralstates/nwa/cs-na-t.html NWA North American Tag Team Championship at Wrestling-Titles.com] ] One of Geigel's co-holders of the North America belts was Bill Miller, with whom he also formed an earlier alliance while both were in the AWA territory in the early 1960's. During that time period, Geigel acted as a policeman for Miller who was working under a mask as Mister "M".
