Mario Marino,more known as Ted Boy Marino,was born in Fuscaldo Marina in Calabria (Italian province)(18/10/1939). He came to Buenos Aires in 1953, in the hold of a ship, at 12 years of age, along with parents and 5 siblings more. He worked as a shoemaker in Buenos Aires, but took advantage of the free time to coach wrestling and weightlifting practice. In 1962 was already participating in programs Telecatch channels 9 and 12 of Buenos Aires from Montevideo.

In 1965, Marino reached Brazil. Shortly thereafter, he was hired as a fighter Telecatch by TV Excelsior, where he made great success.
