John Francis Walker (September 10, 1934 – June 10, 2020), better known by the ring name Mr. Wrestling II, was an American professional wrestler.

[2] Introduced as the partner of the original Mr. Wrestling (Tim Woods), Walker would take his place in many instances.

Walker as Mr. Wrestling II became an immediate top draw and legend for the territory, leading to ten reigns as the Georgia Heavyweight Champion.

During Walker's time in Georgia as Mr. Wrestling II, he was considered one of the top five most-popular wrestlers in the United States.

While most of his career during the 1970s and 1980s was focused on the southeastern corner of the United States, he also made a prominent appearance in Mid-South Wrestling during 1983 and 1984 as the coach and mentor of a young wrestler named Magnum T. A.

Vignettes aired on television, hosted by either Reisor Bowden or Jim Ross, in which Mr. Wrestling II was shown away from the ring with Magnum discussing his philosophy in taking on a rising young star in the role of a "coach" or showing training sessions with the two.

On October 13, 2007, he came out of retirement at 73 and won the HCW Kekaulike Heritage Tag Team Championship with Steve Corino as Mr. Wrestling 3, II's protégé.

[7] The United States Secret Service insisted that he appear unmasked for security reasons.

[5] He and Tony Atlas did win the NWA World Tag Team Championship (Mid-Atlantic version) at one time.
