Joe Stecher għamel id-debutt tiegħu fil-lotta professjonali tard 1912 jew kmieni 1913. Stecher wera li kien professjonist perikoluż mill-bidu tal-karriera tiegħu.

Nhar it-Tlieta, Ottubru 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. Promoter Jerry Walls placed a mat on the elevated stage, a common setup before the widespread
