Pete Doherty is a retired American professional wrestler known by his ring name The Duke of Dorchester. Doherty began his career in the 1970s, wrestling for Vince McMahon Sr in the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). At the time, McMahon's territory consisted of only the Northeast states, and Doherty wrestled all over in small and large venues. Doherty wrestled under the name, "The Duke of Dorchester" paying homage to his hometown of Dorchester, Massachusetts. The Duke was generally relegated to undercard status either wrestling against the stars of his era or against other undercard "jobbers". The Duke's biggest win came on July 14, 1990 when he pinned former tag team champion Haku at the Boston Garden. In September 1991, he competed in the King of the Ring Tournament as a substitute for Kerry Von Erich, but was eliminated in the first round when he was defeated in just 33 seconds by Bret Hart. The Duke retired from wrestling in 1997 making occasional appearances at local events including the WWF's final event at the old Boston Garden.
