Freddie Blassie
Frederick Kenneth Blassie , better known as Classy Freddie Blassie, was an American professional wrestling villain and manager born in St. Louis, Missouri. Renowned as The Fashion Plate of Professional Wrestling, He was also a onetime NWA Georgia Heavyweight Champion and a onetime NWA Florida Heavyweight Champion.
Blassies parents, Jacob and Anna , immigrated to the United States from Germany prior to the start of World War I, settling in St. Louis. Fred was an only child, which he claimed was because he weighedpounds when he was born and his mother didnt want to go through childbirth again. His father was abusive and an alcoholic, and Fred often had to take refuge with his grandparents whenever Jacob would beat his mother. His parents continually separated, then reunited. At the age of 13, after his father hit his mother again, Fred threatened to attack his father with a baseball bat, but didnt do it and stayed with his aunt for six months until his mother asked him to return home. Throughout his life, Fred didnt touch alcohol after seeing what kind of person it turned his father into.
