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. In the wrestling ring, along with other fighters like Tigre Paraguaio(Paraguayan Tiger), Electra, he defeated Alex and other heels like Aquiles(Achilles), Verdugo, Rasputim(Rasputin), Barba Negra(Blackbeard), El Chasques and Múmia(Mummy).

In the 1980s, with the decline of the Telecatch genre in Brazil, he began working on TV shows.
