Allen Burke (born September 25, 1954) is an American professional wrestler and actor. He worked for the World Wrestling Federation and Universal Wrestling Federation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[2]

Professional wrestling career

[edit]

Burke got into professional wrestling after he and his friends met Hulk Hogan in the early 1980s. Hogan influenced Burke and his friends into wrestling.[2]

In 1988, Burke made his debut in the World Wrestling Federation as a jobber.[3] He competed against Jim Duggan, Jake Roberts, Andre the Giant, The Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Legion Of Doom, and Bob Backlund.[4][5][6][7] Burke left the WWF in 1993.

After the WWF, Burke worked for Herb Abrams's Universal Wrestling Federation in 1993 and 1994 as Dr. Feelgood. He appeared on UWF Blackjack Brawl with Missy Hyatt as his valet against Sunny Beach for the vacant SportsChannel Television Championship. [8] Near the end of the match, Feelgood pulled a rag out of his medical bag with black ink poured on it and then tried to shove the rag into Beach, but Beach countered by shoving the rag into Feelgood's face and pinning him to win the SportsChannel Television Championship. Hyatt slapped Beach after the match, allowing Feelgood to attack him with the rag from behind. After UWF had folded, Burke retired from wrestling and went into acting.

On May 26, 2019, Burke returned to wrestling for one match, defeating Israeli wrestler Tomer Shalom by disqualification for CWO Maynia in Toronto, Ontario.

Burke is currently a member of the Cauliflower Alley Club. He won the 2023 REEL Award.[9][10]

Acting career

[edit]

Burke became an actor when he got an offer to play a bad guy role in the film Atomic Blue: Mexican Wrestler.[2] His most well known role is the "Large Billy Idol Fan" in the Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer.[2] Has appeared in many television series such Star Trek Enterprise, All That, Mad About You, Getting Away with Murder, and others.
