John Stanley Hansen II[1] (born August 29, 1949),[1] best known as Stan "The Lariat" Hansen, is an American retired professional wrestler.
Hansen is known for his stiff wrestling style, which he attributed to his poor eyesight,[4][9] and for his gimmick as a loud, violent cowboy who wanted to fight everybody,[6][7] which he further emphasized by appearing in interviews with a cowboy hat, leather vest and bullrope while often chewing on tobacco.[8][10] Considered one of the most successful and popular gaijin in Japanese professional wrestling history, he became more well-known and revered in Japan than in his native United States.[6][7] In Japan's AJPW promotion, he held seven different championships.[6][7] Overall he is a ten-time world champion.
Outside of wrestling Hansen played a small role in the movie No Holds Barred in 1989 and in 2011 he released his co-written biography, The Last Outlaw.
