Chief Jay Strongbow
Special appearance
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Luke Joseph Scarpa (October 4, 1932 – April 3, 2012) was an American professional wrestler who was best known by the ring name Chief Jay Strongbow. Scarpa portrayed a Native American wrestler, who wore a war bonnet to the ring and would "go on the warpath" when the fans started cheering him against an opponent. Scarpa's in-ring persona is routinely listed as one of the "most racist gimmicks" in professional wrestling history with even his New York Times obituary placing Chief Jay Strongbow alongside such infamous "ethnic caricatures" as the Iron Sheik and Mr. Fuji.
