Luther Jacob Goodall (December 30, 1924 – February 21, 1972) was an American professional football player and wrestler, known by his ringname
Luther Lindsay or
Lindsey, who competed throughout the
United States with the
National Wrestling Alliance as well as international promotions such as
All Japan Pro Wrestling,
Joint Promotions and
Stampede Wrestling.
One of the first African American wrestlers to become a major star, he was extremely popular in the
Pacific Northwest and
Mid-Atlantic territory. A frequent rival and tag team partner of
Shag Thomas, he also teamed with
Bearcat Wright,
Nick Bockwinkel,
Pepper Gomez and was involved in feuds with
"Iron" Mike DiBiase,
Mad Dog Vachon,
Moondog Mayne,
Tony Borne and
Pat Patterson &
NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz in a series of matches. Although largely resulting in time limit draws, he was the first African-American to make a challenge to the title and earned Thesz's respect during these bouts publicly praising his wrestling ability.
He was considered one of the top submission wrestlers of his day working with
Don Leo Jonathan and
Stu Hart. Lindsay was one of the few men who bested him in the infamous Stampede Wrestling Hart Dungeon and later became one of Hart's best friends. Hart reportedly carried a picture of him in his wallet until his death. Lindsay was held in high regard by his fellow wrestlers.
