Hansen was a superstar known for his stiff working. The reputation kickstarted during the initial part of his wrestling career and it was actually a hoax that helped him cement such a reputation.

In 1976, Hansen started working for World Wide Wrestling Federation and was put into a feud with the World Champion Bruno Sammartino.
