John Anson (born April 7, 1949) is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, known by his ring name "Handsome" John Anson, who competed in North American and Japanese promotions from the mid-1960s until the early-1980s, including International Wrestling, Maple Leaf Wrestling, NWA All-Star Wrestling, Pacific Northwest Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling.
As Karl Von Schotz, he and Kurt Von Hess were one of the most hated "heels" in the Detroit-area while feuding with Fred Curry and Tony Marino over the NWA World Tag Team Championship during 1973-74.[1]
