Robert Fuller?

[BK-097]

Indeed!

comes from the famed Welch/Fuller family
portrayed Colonel Robert Parker in WCW (a reference to Elvis Presley’s long time manager Colonel Thomas Parker)
his greatest in ring successes (due to sheer volume of titles) came as a tag wrestler, though he arguably had his greatest overall success as a promoter)
the five recurring partners that cagematch references are: Bob Armstrong (in varying personas); Jimmy Golden; Ron Fuller; Ted DiBiase; and Jeff Jarrett - obviously he tagged with more than them, which is why I updated my clue.
outside of a few battles as a manager in WCW and WWF, he wrestled as a full time wrestler in the territories

Sweet.

OK back to it....

1) Professional sporting background
2) Had runs in main event scene and achieved prominent tag team success
3) Remembered fondly compared to my tag team partner who suffered a disaster

[BK-097]

what the heck, I'll throw a guess out here to keep this going: John Tenta (it's a long stretch as i'm thinking of his tag partner referenced above being Dino Bravo)

[PEN15v2]

I think you got it, but the tag partner is Shockmaster

[Shee]

John Tenta is correct!

1. Former Sumo
2. Competed against Hogan in the main event before winning the tag belts with Tugboat
3. Remembered as a gentle giant in wrestling circles. Tugboat however is best remembered for the Shockmaster incident.

I see. I had thought about Fred Ottman as his partner but when I saw disaster my mind went to personal tragedy. I see where you were going with the disaster clue now!

I do not have anything prepared at the moment. Will come up with a set of clues tomorrow

[PEN15v2]

1 - Multi sport athlete
2 - I've had many jobs/roles in sports entertainment
3 - I have many accomplishments and won many prizes, but only 1 title in my career

[Team Farrell]

Shot in the dark: Kevin Sullivan?

[PEN15v2]

Not who I had in mind, but the clues are vague so it's possible it might fit.

Let me adjust #2
1 - Multi sport athlete
2 - I've had many onscreen jobs/roles in sports entertainment
3 - I have many accomplishments and won many prizes, but only 1 title in my career

[BK-097]

hmmmm...Steve McMichael?

[PEN15v2]

Not as many sports as the person I had in mind. Mongo was 2, right? Football and wrestling.
This guy is 3 sports as far as I know.

1 - 3 sport athlete
2 - I've had many onscreen jobs/roles in sports entertainment
3 - I have many accomplishments and won many prizes, but only 1 title in my career
4 - I do not have relatives who were on LA Law, nor related to a Peanuts character alter ego

[BK-097]

Pen that was a fantastic final clue. It's Baron Corbin

Corbin Bernsen and The Red Baron are the references from clue 4.

[PEN15v2]

Bingo

[BK-097]

ok...let's try this

1) I suffered a famously gruesome in ring injury
2) I have wrestled over 200 matches and have lost over 80% of them, BUT won exactly 50% of my PPV matches
3) I was part of a faction that had three prominently featured non-wrestlers
