Robert Cortes (born July 28, 1948) is a retired American professional wrestler and trainer, known by his ring name Bobby Bold Eagle, who wrestled throughout the United States for the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wide Wrestling Federation during the late 1960s and 1970s.

Career

A protégé of Argentina Rocca, he made his WWWF debut in September 1968.[1]

Cortes wrestled throughout the world during his near 15-year career including countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Africa and most of Europe. While in Joint Promotions in the 1980s, he held the promotion's tag team championship as part of a kayfabe "brother" tag team with former student Al Bold Eagle.[2] He was also a sometimes ally of Big Daddy in his feud with Wild Angus Campbell and wrestled the likes of Pete LaPaque,[3] Rollerball Rocco,[4] Lucky Gordon, "Superstar" Mal Sanders, Dr. Death[5] and Skull Murphy.[6]

Retirement

After his retirement in 1991, following a tour of Spain and Germany, Cortes was the head trainer in the Lower East Side Wrestling School, owned and operated by Pete McKay in New York City, New York. Among his former students include Billy Firehawk, Tiger Khan (Marlon Kalkai), Peligro (Abe Guzman), Panther [7] [8] Chris Kanyon,[9] [10] Primo Carnera II and The Power Twins (Larry and David Sontag) as well as ECW alumni The Dirt Bike Kid, Rocco Rock, and Jason Knight.
