Η ανάρτηση αυτής της εβδομάδας είναι να ολοκληρώσει την ιστορία του διπλού σταυρού που περιλαμβάνει τον Dick Shikat και τον Danno O'Mahony.

On June 2, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament in New York City entered its second week of competition. Some of the tournaments big names were wrestling on this night.
