Stanley C. Fraizer (August 16, 1937 – July 1, 1992) was an American professional wrestler. He was best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation as Uncle Elmer from 1985 to 1986. The highpoints of his career included wrestling Adrian Adonis at WrestleMania 2, and marrying Joyce Stazko on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event.

At the beginning of his career, Fraizer later wrestled in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, especially Alabama and Florida. He used several ring names, including Pascagoula Plowboy. Because he was a local wrestler, he was very popular with the fans.

Fraizer was discovered by Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler, who brought him to wrestle in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)'s Mid-America region and later in the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He used many gimmicks in Tennessee, including Giant Rebel, the Lone Ranger, Giant Hillbilly and Tiny Frazier. Despite weighing 460 pounds, he also wrestled in a loincloth as Kamala II, a copy of Kamala, who wrestled in Tennessee with a Ugandan headhunter gimmick.

Fraizer won several championships while in Tennessee. Wrestling under his own name, he won the Mid-America version of the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship in 1971. Wrestling as Plowboy Frazier, he formed a tag team with Lawler and won the AWA Southern Tag Team Championship in 1976. He won the belts again in 1978 while teaming with Terry Sawyer.

Fraizer's next title success came in Georgia Championship Wrestling. While there, he teamed with Ted DiBiase to win the NWA National Tag Team Championship from The Fabulous Freebirds. Their title reign lasted five days, as they dropped the titles back to the Freebirds.
