With the Batman craze sweeping the country in 1966, Marino created a wrestling version of the superhero.

He debuted the persona in the Buffalo, NY area and had a smaller wrestler dressed as Robin.

He formed a tag team with WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Bruno Sammartino.

The titles were held up in June 1974 in match against Ben Justice and Killer Tim Brooks.

They defeated Killer Tim Brooks and Abdullah the Butcher and received the titles back.

They lost the titles to The Mongols and this was Marino's final Detroit Tag Team Championship.

Marino's granddaughter, who wrestles as Lady Frost, participated at the NWA 73rd Anniversary Show.
