Michael James Penzel (September 7, 1957 – December 22, 2021) was an American professional wrestler and United States Army paratrooper.

[4] After working as a preliminary wrestler for the World Wrestling Federation under the name "RT Reynolds", Penzel was eventually given the character of a military hero after WWF owner/promoter Vince McMahon discovered that he had been in the 82nd Airborne.

Then he started what would be a successful wrestling career for himself in Japan as he created the ring name and gimmick of "Leatherface" and tied it in with the villain of the same name from the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

During his brief time in jail, the Leatherface character that Penzel created was given to another wrestler, Rick Patterson, who eventually left W*ING and went to International Wrestling Association of Japan.

On December 13, 1994, the Leatherfaces faced two popular wrestlers, Shoji Nakamaki and Hiroshi Ono, in a nail hell deathmatch.

Penzel afterward left the IWA, with the promotion claiming that he was fired in an attempt to salvage Ono's destroyed reputation.

Using a modified version of his Leatherface gimmick, he debuted for the promotion under the name "Super Leather" and later formed a tag team with Chris Romero.

In his return match, he teamed with Jayson Voorhees as The Serial Killers in a losing effort to Mad Man Pondo and Necro Butcher on February 25, 2007, during the Insane Clown Posse's Tempest Release Party.

[10] He wrestled his final match in Tokyo, Japan on January 26, 2010, teaming with Mr. Pogo and The W*inger in a loss to Hisakatsu Oya, Ricky Fuji, and Tarzan Goto.

Penzel, who was working as a truck driver at the time, later remarked that he was honored and surprised that people still remembered him 20 years after his brief rise to fame in WWF/E.
