Edmund R. Quinn (May 22, 1906 – December 14, 1965)[1] was an American manager and professional wrestling promoter in Canada and the United States.

He grew up in Massachusetts and organized boxing and wrestling events in New England and such cities as St. Louis, Missouri, Chicago, Illinois, and Montreal, Quebec.

Bringing gimmicks and showmanship back to professional wrestling in Montreal, he helped restimulate local interest in the sport.

[3] The following year, he stated that he controlled most of the wrestling events in Canada and Boston as well as substantial portions of Chicago and St.

[2] He ran into trouble in 1961, when a boxing match between Archie Moore and Bob Cleroux failed to attract as many ticket purchases as hoped.

He pointed to the massive increases in ticket sales that occurred after his featured wrestlers gained notoriety through televised shows in Chicago.

[1] In 1964, Quinn retired from the wrestling business and purchased the Hobb Nursing Home in North Hampton, New Hampshire.
