Webster first learned football in Vancouver and used those skills to play at the famous University of Notre Dame.
He returned home to play one season with the BC Lions, 16 games, before he was traded to the Montreal Alouettes.
Being very big, and having met several football players that were wrestlers, professional wrestling became his next career.
From 1971 to 1976 he became Iron Mike Webster on the wrestling circuit mainly in Vancouver and Pacific Northwest.
This led to his final career as a clinical psychologist, teaching at "the British Columbia Police Academy, the Canadian Police College, Europol, and the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia."
