Mosca attended the University of Notre Dame on a scholarship, but was kicked out for bookmaking. He then went to Wyoming, but was booted out for theft, allegedly stealing typewriters and cameras from stores and selling them on campus.{{Cite web|last=Mooneyham|first=Mike|date=November 27, 2021|title=Sports giant Angelo Mosca was a character for the ages|url=https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/wrestling/sports-giant-angelo-mosca-was-a-character-for-the-ages/article_93eb6ef8-4cac-11ec-92d2-0f3b1d0f15b8.html|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=The Post and Courier}} He was drafted by the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles in 1959 in the 30th round (350th overall).{{Cite web|last=Oliver|first=Greg|date=November 6, 2021|title=Angelo Mosca dead at 84|url=https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2021/11/06/angelo-mosca-dead-at-84/|access-date=January 18, 2022|publisher=Slam! Wrestling}} He had already decided to play in the CFL, in 1958 for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He went to Hamilton the same year after graduating from Notre Dame with a degree in business administration. He was traded to the Ottawa Rough Riders for Hardiman Cureton on August 15, 1960, and played for the Rough Riders in 1960 and 1961 before joining the Montreal Alouettes in 1962 for 5 games. He played his remaining years, 1962 to 1972 in Hamilton and was a five-time all star.

Mosca was brought into wrestling by Montreal promoter Eddie Quinn. He began wrestling in the off-season, and became a full-time wrestler after his retirement from football. He wrestled all across North America, always at or near the top of the card, and almost always as a heel, even in Toronto until the late 1970s, then he became a face, and in the early 1980s, the lead face.{{Cite web|last=Mooneyham|first=Mike|date=November 27, 2021|title=Sports giant Angelo Mosca was a character for the ages|url=https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/wrestling/sports-giant-angelo-mosca-was-a-character-for-the-ages/article_93eb6ef8-4cac-11ec-92d2-0f3b1d0f15b8.html|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=The Post and Courier}} He also wrestled in Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association and in Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling, where he was frequently paired with Superstar Billy Graham in tag team competition. During the mid '70s and '80s, Mosca worked in the Carolinas, facing top stars such as Ric Flair, Wahoo McDaniel, Blackjack Mulligan, and Ivan Koloff.{{Cite web|last=Mooneyham|first=Mike|date=November 27, 2021|title=Sports giant Angelo Mosca was a character for the ages|url=https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/wrestling/sports-giant-angelo-mosca-was-a-character-for-the-ages/article_93eb6ef8-4cac-11ec-92d2-0f3b1d0f15b8.html|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=The Post and Courier}}

In 1981, during his time in the World Wrestling Federation, Mosca wrestled as (often – in a reversal of his character in Canada) as the promotion's most hated heel due to his brutal style.{{Cite web|last=Mooneyham|first=Mike|date=November 27, 2021|title=Sports giant Angelo Mosca was a character for the ages|url=https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/wrestling/sports-giant-angelo-mosca-was-a-character-for-the-ages/article_93eb6ef8-4cac-11ec-92d2-0f3b1d0f15b8.html|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=The Post and Courier}} He became a top challenger to WWF Champion Bob Backlund's World Championship, but was not successful in winning the belt.{{Cite web|last=Rose|first=Bryan|date=November 6, 2021|title=Angelo Mosca passes away at 84 years old|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/other-wrestling/angelo-mosca-passes-away-84-years-old-358711|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} He also engaged in a feud with Pat Patterson, a part-time wrestler who also did color commentary on the WWF's syndicated programs, after Mosca attacked Patterson at a television taping with a water pitcher; Patterson had grown disgusted with Mosca's rulebreaking tactics and, setting off the attack, publicly thanked a referee for disqualifying Mosca for refusing to pin his jobber opponent.{{Cite web|last=Rose|first=Bryan|date=November 6, 2021|title=Angelo Mosca passes away at 84 years old|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/news/other-wrestling/angelo-mosca-passes-away-84-years-old-358711|access-date=January 19, 2022|publisher=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}

He and Milt Avruskin hosted a TV show featuring compilations of NWA matches. Mosca organized an NWA card in Hamilton in February 1986 called "Moscamania" that drew an excellent house of 12,000 but the follow-up a year later drew only 3,200.

Mosca appeared in several Canadian TV commercials in the 1970s and 1980s. Mosca still made PR appearances for the league and the Ticats and for other businesses.

In July 2016, Mosca was named part of a class action lawsuit filed against WWE which alleged that wrestlers incurred traumatic brain injuries during their tenure and that the company concealed the risks of injury.
