Pezavan Whatley (January 10, 1951 – January 18, 2005) was an American professional wrestler best known for his time with NWA Mid-America, Jim Crockett Promotions, World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Whatley played football and wrestled for Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). He was UTC's first African-American wrestler. Whatley started wrestling in 1973 after a brief career as a power lifter. He wrestled with the Sheik's Big Time Wrestling, after which he wrestled primarily in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. While in Georgia Championship Wrestling, he had a memorable angle on television, where he was confronted by Junkyard Dog, before a match against Buzz Sawyer. Junkyard Dog slapped Whatley in the face, enraging him enough to pin Sawyer twice in a single episode of World Championship Wrestling. While in Georgia, Whatley had a feud with Paul Ellering's Legion of Doom that included matches against Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He also had a match in the Omni for the United States Heavyweight championship against Greg Valentine. Whatley went to Championship Wrestling from Florida in 1984.
