Чарлі Олсан забівае змагара

Куін-Батыст-энд-Олсан

Я часта выяўляў, што самай вялікай праблемай у даследаванні ранняй прафесійнай барацьбы з'яўляецца аддзяленне фактаў ад выдумкі.

Прафесійная барацьба паўстала з карнавалаў і захавала інстынкты прасоўвання гэтага мастацтва. Вуліца.

Як памёр Алекс Эберг?

Aleksander-Aberg-загаловак

Я вырашыў пачаць 2020 by using two examples from professional wrestling to discuss why you would change a historical account you wrote in the past. In writing history, you are limited by the available sources on the subject matter. Primary sources like diaries, official records and autobiographies are very valuable. Other sources like newspapers are good as well but
