" His business: business," said , 83, one of the bad rofessional wres and the States. "In what other business do you need nothing more than a pair of wool trunks?" As an afterthought he admits it's not quite that simple. There's promotion -- keeping one's:'name in front of the pud- lic-pand image. He accepts as his lot the image of a big (six-foot-four, 272 pounds) rough, tough bad- y fighter Swith ae pushed in nose, flattened ears . . . my face, a is going to like me, I give them what they want, I do only one thing: wrong in a fight people are , going to say 'that rat Kiniski'." If comes GENE KINISKI But while notoriety may be good business, it's also "a 'bore,' There are the insults--some- times so bad he has a hard time containing himself. He has been stabbed, mostly with hatpins but once with a knife, and burned with cigar- ettes and cigars as he walked away from the ring. "You've got to mae st," Kiniski says, adding that he has had lots of practice. "When I was a kid I used to be called a bohunk although I was born in Canada," And it can be difficult for his son, such as the time another boy said: "'ah, your old man is a dirty wrestler," Fortunately, the reputation doesn't seem to affect his life outside the ring much. "They treat me well here, don't they?" he remarked when asked about it, As he travels Kiniski runs into the same questions over and over, How much does h earn? Is wrestling fixed? i say wrestling is re- hearsed. But if a wrestler comes 1,000 miles in one direc: tion to meet a wrestler who 1,000 miles in another, how can the fight be re hearsed?" Kiniski says he really ian't concerned about what people think of wrestling as long as they continue to pack arenas and watch it on television. Those w'0 criticize wrestling are probably jealous of its pop- ularity, he says, PLAYED FOOTBALL Kiniski, whose mother is an Edmonton alderman, was born in the Alberta capital and grad: ' eat He was working in the Ed- when someone §' ted he a ply for an athletic scholarship at the University of Arizona, He went to Tucson, got the scholar. ship and played for the football team, taking mechanical wg: neering and later physical cation, Rod Fenton, now 'a wres' oter in Vancouver, caugh sneaking into a match in Tucson and threw him out, A seam of weeks later he was orking for Fenton as an usher, He later accepted Fenton's in- vitation to wrestle profession-|* Edmonton Eskimos foot: eam hired him in 1952 but!» he left two years later over a salary dispute and became a full-time wrestler, He has held just about every ved except the world champion. cee says he made bes in 1987 but has reduced number of bouts he pod now=-he averages about three a week--for income tax pur: poses, He emphasizes that wrestling is not necessarily a good busi: ness for ail, "A lot of guys are living on hamburgers.
