Omaha-polisiehoof H.W. Dunn het in Maart opskrifte geskep 28, 1915, toe hy 'n bevel uitgereik het wat die geadverteerde professionele stoeiwedstryd tussen Joe Stecher en Jess Westergaard verbied. The April 6, 1915 wedstryd was geskeduleer vir die Omaha Ouditorium. Die hoof het eintlik die bevel uitgereik in opdrag van Superintendent van Polisie A.C. Kugel. Kugel het 'n verklaring uitgereik aan
Op Desember 13, 1920, En “Worger” Lewis het Joe Stecher vir sy Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap verslaan. Professional wrestling was a staged exhibition by 1920. Egter, such was the strong feelings between the men that the match may have been a “shoot” or legitimate match in which Lewis took the belt. Whether the outcome of the match was real, the feud
Januarie 11, 1911, world heavyweight wrestling championship contender Stanislaus Zbysko faced the challenge of the powerful but less talented Peter “Giant” Nogert. Nogert was a South African wrestler, who came to the United States for a few years in the early 1910s. Due to a strong international reputation, 'n paar Amerikaanse stoeiers het selfs voorheen beweer dat hulle Nogert is
In November 1923, St. Louis Star-Times verslaggewer Billy Murphy het 'n onderhoud met St. Louis-stoeipromotor John Contos. Murphy het aan Contos voorgestel dat die era van dominante stoeiers soos William Muldoon verby is. Murphy het gepraat oor die onlangse wedstryd tussen “Wêreldkampioen” Hardneck Phillips en die spelaanspraakmaker Webster O'Malley. Phillips het sy kampioenskap suksesvol verdedig deur O'Malley agterna te gooi 1 hour, 50
En “Worger” Lewis and Joe Stecher conducted one of the greatest rivalries of the early arranged professional wrestling exhibition era. Lewis and Stecher wrestled many times including a five and a half hour draw in 1916. Several of their early matches appeared to be legitimate. Legend also has it that Lewis actually had to beat Stecher in a “shoot match”
Stanislaus Zbyszko het in die Verenigde State getoer 1910 ter voorbereiding vir 'n titelwedstryd met die Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioen Frank Gotch later in die jaar. Sy toer het hom na St. Louis op Mei 29, 1910. Zbyszko was geskeduleer om hoogaangeskrewe ligte swaargewig worsteler Charley Olson te ontmoet. Olson was 'n bekwame stoeier, wat saam met St. Louis-stoeier George
Op April 3, 1908, Amerikaanse Wrestling Kampioen Frank Gotch ontmoet World Wrestling Kampioen George Hackenschmidt vir die Wêreldbeker-titel by Dexter Park Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois.

Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, wat 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right. Ongelukkig, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Ek het gereeld gevind dat die grootste uitdaging om vroeë professionele stoei te ondersoek, die feit van fiksie skei. Selfs toe die stoeiers in wettige wedstryde meeding, dit het dikwels die uitkomste opgeblaas, het apokriewe folklore opgebou rondom hul oorwinnings en spookagtige verhale uitgeoefen om hul verliese te verklaar.
