Sky Low Low
By all accounts, Sky Low Low was a big man in a small body. At three
feet-six inches tall, he weighed in at eighty-six pounds. He was born in
1928 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Marcel Gauthier was his birthname but he
went on to be known worldwide as Sky Low Low. His facial expressions and
quick ring moves, which included well-executed dropkicks, set him apart
from the other outstanding midgets of the era. He began wrestling in the
1940's and was still touring for the WWF as late as the early 1980's. He
battled another Canadian midget wrestler, Little Beaver, in front of Queen
Elizabeth. He once claimed the World Midget Title. Rock-and-Roll artist
Mark Cutler's title song for his recent album is entitled "Skylolo" after
the famed midget wrestler's unique monicker. Although Sky Low Low passed
away on November 6, 1998 at age seventy, his legacy will remain alive as
the first midget inductee at the PWHF.
