Robert Fort Hanson (March 27, 1933 – February 19, 2002) was an American professional wrestler best known by his ring name Swede Hanson.
He spent much of his career wrestling as part of a tag team with Rip Hawk.
Together, they held championships in four different promotions. Hanson and Hawk were heel (villain) wrestlers and competed against some of the most popular teams of their time.
They later feuded with each other when Hawk found a new partner after Hanson suffered a legitimate heart attack.
Hanson retired in 1986 and lived in South Carolina until his death in 2002.
