Henry Moses Dufur var heimsmeistari í kraga og olnboga í þungavigt á áttunda áratugnum. Með 1855, Dufur hætti í atvinnuglímu til að stunda fullt starf sitt sem fatasmiður.

Yusuf Ismail only wrestled in the United States for six months in the first half of 1898. In his first significant match, he was disqualified for a vicious foul. In his only other significant match, he gave Evan “Strangler” Lewis the beating of his life. Yet his short tour of the United States made him a legend. Ismail entered the
Evan “Strangler” Lewis, einnig kallað Evan Lewis “sem Strangler”, var faglegur wrestler frá 1882 til 1899. Lewis var fyrsta American Heavyweight Afli-eins og-afli Glíma Champion. He was also the first wrestler to perfect the “stranglehold” eða “hang hold”, sem nútíma MMA aðdáendur þekkja sem guillotine choke. Lewis gerði faglega frumraun sína með því að vinna a 64 manna mót
Martin “Farmer” Burns is famous today as the trainer of legendary wrestler Frank Gotch. “Farmer” Burns var mikill wrestler í eigin rétti sínum.

Á mánudaginn, Febrúar 7, 1887, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton hittist í Battery D í Chicago, Illinois. Þetta yrði fyrsti sýningarbardagi mannanna af nokkrum. Þeir sýndu þessar sýningar í stærri miðvesturborgum snemma 1887. Eins og St. Paul match sem ég fjallaði um í fyrri færslu, Lewis og Acton samþykktu það

Main Content – When I first heard of the stranglehold or “hang hold” of Evan “The Strangler” Lewis, it sounded like a guillotine choke. Þó, several sources I checked described it as a rear naked choke. Lewis
Evan “Strangler” Lewis var skelfilegur keppandi. Þótt hann væri ekki stór maður á 5’09” og vó 170 £, Lewis’ leikni uppgjöf gert hann jafnan eða betri flestra wrestlers af tímum hans. Jack Carkeek var frábær wrestler en einn leik með Lewis nánast lét hann af störfum. Lewis’ reputation was strongly related to his feared
Thiebaud eða Theobald Bauer var franskur glímukappi, sem sérhæfði sig í grísk-rómverskri glímu. Bauer kom til Ameríku á meðan 1875 með vafasama tilkall til heimsmeistaramótsins í grísk-rómversku þungavigt. Hann myndi verja titil sinn fyrir 5 ár þar til William Muldoon sigraði í 1880. Ef glímuaðdáendur kannast yfirhöfuð við Bauer, það er venjulega sem andstæðingurinn
The April 12, 1887 útgáfa af St. Paul Daily Globe carried a story about the bout between feared professional wrestlers, Evan “Strangler” Lewis and “Little Demon” Joe Acton.
