Rich Mahogany Biography

Rich's mother, born Lexee Stanton, was a stripper in some of the seedier bars in Las Vegas in the seventies. During one of the first pornography conventions in Las Vegas she met Big Dick Gardulo, one of the forefathers of modern pornography on film. He took her back to the San Fernando Valley where not only did she become one of the first widely known porn "stars" under the name Lexxxie Swallows, but she married the smut mogul. Her career lasted from the late seventies to the early eighties. In 1985 she became pregnant by Gardulo. The porn mogul denied the child as his, which led to a nasty divorce in which Lexee was awarded a very large sum of money, one that she and her child still live on to this day.

That child? His name was Richard Peter Gardulo, named for his absentee father, and he would grow up to become the man that we know as Rich Mahogany.

It was a long road for Rich, as he bounced from underwear modeling, to being a local television anchor, to becoming a male stripper, and then finally into wrestling.
