They use to introduce him as the light-heavy champ/ 199lbs. But he always fought much bigger guys, never other small guyss. He must been been light-heavy champ because he was the -only- light-heavy! According to Lou Thesz, Starr was an excellent legitimate wrestler.
I don't know if "Starr" was just acting (like pro wrestling is an act) or if is his act was a manifestation of his sexuality, but he had been a ballet dancer originally, which may indicate something.
In any case, his act was a real hoot. I wonder if he's still alive? There is scant recent info. on "Starr"/Bernard Herman available on the Web. For that matter, there is little info. about him period.
I used to have a major website online dedicated to the film "The Touchables" which Ricky was featured in. A friend of his contacted me to thank me for the website, and let slip that Ricky was living peacefully & happily out of the limelight, in Mexico. This was 10 years ago. I never bothered to verify the info. I took his word, and was content to know that Ricky was happy.
Rickii Starr used to do the best and quickest airplane spin,EVER!!!!

How hot is it when Starr is rubbing his hairy chest and belly all over Von Hess. I like it!
