[edit] Career
Larry Heinemi played college football and then started wrestling in 1965. He formed a tag team with his "brother" Gene Anderson and also tagged with his other "brother" Ole Anderson. He occasionally wrestled with them as the Minnesota Wrecking Crew.
Lars did not have the success that the other Andersons had. However, he did win numerous NWA regional championships, including winning the Georgia version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship with Gene Anderson. Lars wrestled briefly in the Carolinas as "Luscious Lars Anderson".
In the early 1970's he wrestled in the San Francisco bay area (again as "Luscious Lars Anderson"), winning the NWA (San Francisco) World Tag Team title with partner Paul DeMarco in 1972.
He spent the last years of his career wrestling in Hawaii for Polynesian Pacific Wrestling.
