When he was a teenager he and his family (including younger brother Andrew) relocated to Black Hawk County, Iowa, where their surname was changed to "George".

He managed numerous fighters such as Johnny Paychek, Glen Flanagan, Abel Cestac and Lee Savold.

In a further letter to Pfefer dated June 8, 1950, he stated that "in September, my term ends and Sam Muchnick will be elected, as I think he is the fellow deserving of it".

George continued to run the wrestling scene in Iowa, with grapplers such as Verne Gagne, Bob Orton, Johnny Valentine and Pat O’Connor making their name in the territory.

On January 23, 1951, George incorporated the NWA as a non-profit with a code of ethnics in Iowa for tax purposes, helping ensure its survival for years to come.

Simpson testified against Pinkie, stating he had had difficulty booking wrestlers within the NWA system but that he had recently straightened things out with Muchnick and Brown.

[7] Pinkie George is remembered as the visionary behind the National Wrestling Alliance and the man responsible for laying the foundations of what would become perhaps the most respected organization in the business.
