Mahmout baru-baru ini ke Amerika Syarikat untuk bergelut dengan Frank Gotch untuk Kejohanan Gusti Kelas Berat Dunia.

Ahli sejarah gusti menganggap sama ada Ed "Strangler" Lewis atau Frank Gotch sebagai ahli gusti profesional Amerika yang paling hebat. Walaupun kita tahu sedikit tentang kerjaya awal Frank Gotch, kita tahu lebih sedikit tentang kerjaya awal Ed "Strangler" Lewis.

Joe Stecher made his professional wrestling debut in late 1912 or early 1913. Stecher proved to be a dangerous professional from the beginning of his career.

Burns and most followers of the sport expected Hussane
Pada hari Selasa, Oktober 21, 1913, Ed “Strangler” Lewis defended his newly won American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship against William Demetral. Lewis wrestled Demetral at Lexington’s Auditorium on a mat instead of a ring. The mat setup played a role in the finish of the match.

Prior to wrestling in Kentucky in the early 1910s, wrestling fans knew Ed “Strangler” Lewis as Bob Fredrichs.
