Ovotjedni post završava priču o dvostrukom križu koji uključuje Dicka Shikata i Danna O’Mahonyja. Porijeklo dvostrukog križa zapravo je počelo u meču s Edom “Davitelj” Lewisa u Madison Square Gardenu u lipnju 9, 1932.

Pišem ovaj post kako bih ispravio prethodni post koji sam napisao o duplim križevima u profesionalnom hrvanju. Prvotno sam mislio da su dvostruka križanja završila nakon što je Stanislaus Zybszko dvostruko prekrižio Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, nakon što je pristao izgubiti od Munna, porazio ga je u nečemu što se pretvorilo u legitimno natjecanje za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji.

Napisao sam ovaj post zbog razgovora u kojem sam bio označen na Twitteru o 1911 revanš između Franka Gotcha i Georga Hackenschmidta za Svjetsko prvenstvo u hrvanju u teškoj kategoriji. Jim Cornette, koji osim što je jedan od najboljih menadžera u profesionalnom hrvanju, također je poznati povjesničar profesionalnog hrvanja, govorio o dvostrukom križu u drugom meču Gotch-Hacka
