History: (Marvel Super-Heroes III#7) - Tonight at Madison Square Garden we see the return of Gator Grant against the Cossack. The people really hate the Cossack.

It seemed like a strong start for Gator at first, but the ring rust brought him down quickly. The Cossack was ready to finish him off with a devastating Piledriver, but Gator didn't go down so easy. He no-sold the move and transformed into a human lizard. He bit the Cossack into the shoulder and drew first blood. With a powerful punch he drove the Cossack into the ropes and they broke. Knocked out, the Cossack laid on the apron while everyone else tried to stop Gator Grant. Marvel Boy was able to finish the job by knocking out Gator Grant with the ring bell after a very technical wrestling match.

He was introduced as a Russian, but in Wrestling this doesn't necessarily mean that you're a Russian.

This match probably ended as a no contest.
