Career
Savage made his pro debut in 1962 in
Macon, Georgia using the ring name Lonnie Brown,
then spent the next few years competing across North America, in
Hawaii and in
Japan (going by the ring names Mr. X and Dutch Schultz). Savage first began using his most famous ring name during a stint in the
Kansas City territory.
He eventually settled in the
Pacific Northwest region in 1966, splitting his time between PNW in
Portland and
NWA All Star Wrestling in
Vancouver, British Columbia.
Savage also had a brief stint in the AWA territory where he formed a solid tag team with Hard Boiled Haggerty. However, when a trip to Japan was offered, Dutch opted to leave the AWA after only a few months. His most memorable matches while in the AWA were with the masked Doctor "X" (
Dick Beyer, aka The Destroyer) and
Mad Dog Vachon.
