George Raymond Wagner, also known as "Gorgeous George" (March 24, 1915–December 26, 1963) was an American professional wrestler. In the United States, during the First Golden Age of Professional Wrestling in the 1940s-1950s, Gorgeous George gained mainstream popularity and became one of the biggest stars of this period, gaining media attention for his outrageous character, which was described as flamboyant and charismatic.

On the TV Show You Asked For It, he does a few color changes, controls a selected card within the pack, performs a top change, and concludes with a card thumb-tacked on the wall.
