Richard Gilbert Vest Sr. (March 5, 1927 – April 22, 1993) was an American professional wrestler best known by the ring name Chief Big Heart. A popular TV wrestling star of the 1950s, Vest won championships in numerous National Wrestling Alliance territories between 1956 and 1963. His famous "bow and arrow" submission hold was a feared finishing maneuver in professional wrestling. Vest's battles with Dr. Jerry Graham in Georgia Championship Wrestling were among the promotion's biggest drawing cards of the era and regarded as one of the bloodiest feuds in pro wrestling history. He was also well-known for his work in tag teams with fellow Native American wrestlers, especially Chief Little Eagle and Kit Fox, winning tag team titles in the NWA's Dallas, Georgia, and Tri-State territories. He also worked with a number of other tag team partners, including Johnny Weaver, Abe Jacobs, Red McIntyre, and Haystacks Calhoun.
