Waldo Von Erich (real name: Walter Paul Sieber) was a Canadian professional wrestler, born in 1933 in Toronto and passing away in 2009. Active from 1950 to 1979, he was known for his persona as a Prussian villain and his (kayfabe) association with Fritz Von Erich. He became one of the most notorious heels of his era, most notably feuding with Bruno Sammartino in the WWWF.
He competed in and held championships across multiple territories, including the NWA and WWWF, and was inducted into the Stampede Wrestling Hall of Fame. After retiring, he worked as a therapist, inventor, and trainer of new wrestling talent. His legacy remains as one of the most iconic villains of classic professional wrestling.
