Appears to be a hoax. References are almost all to a fansite. Even the IMDB listings purporting to be for the subject's films are what appear to be spurious creations for films "in development." No reliable, independent sources can be found for the existence of this article's subject. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:14, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete I suppose it's not impossible this guy existed, even if he wasn't a generation defining figure who turned down the lead in Star Wars, but there aren't any reliable sources about him. The article is referenced to a fansite, "hollywood-conspiracies.com" and other comically bad sources, and there doesn't seem to be anything better out there. Somebody has made a documentary about him, but they seem to have used Wikipedia as a source.  Hut 8.5  18:53, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be a hoax. Nothing bar the mad mex film which says he was someone who made out he was good at Judo, but wasn't!Davidstewartharvey (talk) 20:56, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources. This is an example of huge claims with no sources. The fact that a hoax like this has existed for 10 years, complete with claims that the subject turned down a role in Star Wars, tells me that Wikipedia has much bigger problems with its actor coverage than I realized. This is what we get for allowing articles sourced only to IMDb to fester for over a decade, we get totally false articles like this.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:49, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete A hoax, subject does not exist. Nika2020 (talk) 20:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Lots of claims with absolutely no reliable sources. Perhaps one promotional source said it best--"the most famous fighter that never was"--because it combines wild exaggeration with no facts or evidence. Papaursa (talk) 17:48, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing to indicate that the article subject is notable, and a lot to indicate that the article is, in fact, complete bollocks. --Jack Frost (talk) 14:56, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage --James Richards (talk) 17:18, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
