Everett Marshall (November 4, 1905 - February 10, 1973) was a professional wrestler who was best known for his work in the late 1930s with what is now National Wrestling Alliance.

Biography

Everett Marshall was born on November 4, 1905. His finisher was The Airplane Spin and he liked to use Armlocks and Armpulls. He had a wonderful career of 22 years. He is best known for his work with National Wrestling Alliance. He started his first stint with Midwest Wrestling Association where he won his first title which was the MWA Heavyweight Championship on August 14, 1932.

National Wrestling Association stint

Everett Marshall joined National Wrestling Association in 1934. It was a subsidiary of the National Boxing Association. On June 26, 1936, he beat Ali Baba for the National Wrestling Association World Championship in Columbus, Ohio. His title was vacated in September 1936 because NBA and NWA recommended at their annual meeting that a tournament would be held.

Texas Heavyweight Champion

In 1938, Marshall continued to tour Texas. In March 1938, he defeated Chief Little Beaver to win the NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship. His title is believed to have been vacated in September 1938 because he went on to win two world titles during that time.

Dual World Champion

On September 14, 1938, Marshall was awarded the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship and National Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Championship (both of them were called NWA World Heavyweight Championship). This marked his second National Wrestling Association title. He was awarded the title when Steve Casey was stripped of the title for refusal to defend the titles. Marshall lost his titles to Lou Thesz on February 23, 1939. After that, he continued to wrestle for National Wrestling Alliance until 1949 when he fell into full-retirement.

Death

No one knows how Marshall died. The records of his death are unclear but it is known that he died on February 10, 1973.
