Who is Gator Grant?

History Gator Grant had been a wrestler for over nineteen years and was even the champion of the Worldwide Wrestling League at one time. He had become increasingly agitated by the successful UCWF league and its super-powered "freak" wrestlers. After the Thing stated on national television that he was going down in the record books as the greatest wrestler of all time, Gator became infuriated. He called a studio where an interview was taking place with the Thing, but was berated by the host and was called a jealous has-been. The host told the Thing that Gator was forced to retire from the ring because of too many head shots during his career. Gator Grant later appeared at Ed Garner 's office, demanding that he be allowed to join the UCWF. Garner refused to let him join because of his lack of super strength. Gator confronted the Thing in Garner's office but Vance Astrovik used his abilities to throw Grant outside the building.
