Roimh wrestling in Kentucky go luath sna 1910idí, Bhí aithne ag lucht leanúna wrestling ar Ed “Strangler” Lewis mar Bob Fredrichs. Rugadh Robert Friedrich i Nekoosa, Wisconsin, Rinne Lewis a chéad chluiche gairmiúil wrestling i 1905, agus fós amháin 14 bliain d'aois. Shíl tionscnóirí Kentucky go raibh Bob Fredrichs ró-shimplí, mar sin roghnaigh Lewis a ainm nua mar ómós do chomhghleacaí Wisconsin ó dhúchas agus ó bhunadh
Ar Deireadh Fómhair 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. In 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko defeated Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Stanislaus Zbyszko returned to Europe. It is doubtful Wladek Zbyszko could make a claim to his brother’s championship. Promoter Sam Rachmann probably created this

Chuir tionscnóirí in áirithe na fir chun wrestle ag Madison Square Garden i
Ar Lúnasa 4, 1939, Fuair Mort Henderson bás i Rochester, Nua Eabhrac ag 60 bliana d'aois. Is dócha nár chuimhnigh lucht leanúna wrestling ar an ainm Mort Henderson ach mar a ego eile, an Marvel Masked bunaidh, shábháil sé an leagan titim den 1915 International Wrestling Tournament in New York City. Chuir Sam Rachmann an comórtas chun cinn le sprioc
Taro Miyake originally came to prominence as a jiu jitsu expert fighting legitimate mixed styles contests with professional boxers and wrestlers. Miyake used the legitimate contests, most of which he won, to generate interest in jiu jitsu.

George Tragos gained fame as the trainer of Lou Thesz, the dominant National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Champion of the 1950s and early 1960s.

At the end of 1932, 22-year-old Vila Milli sued her husband, professional wrestler Wladek Zbyszko, for divorce alleging physical cruelty and adultery.

He expressed doubt that Zbyszko abused his wife. Mar sin féin, he did not dismiss the
Frank Gotch a bhí i gceannas ar wrestling Mheiriceá ó 1905 go dtí a scor i 1913. Gotch, an Curadh Trom-mheáchain Mheiriceánach atá ann faoi láthair, bhuaigh sé an cluiche is mó dá shaol i mí Aibreáin 3, 1908. Bhuaigh Gotch an Seaimpín Domhanda Trom-mheáchain reatha Georg Hackenschmidt i Chicago, Illinois. Bhí Gotch mar churadh domhanda ceannasach agus a bhí sé mar churaidh Mheiriceá. D'aontaigh Gotch
Ar Déardaoin, Aibreán 29, 1909, Thaistil Frank Gotch go Memphis, Tennessee chun wrestleoir éadrom trom-mheas Charles Hackenschmidt a throid. Bhuaigh Hackenschmidt an Chraobhchomórtais Wrestling Light Trom Domhanda faoina fhíorainm, John Berg.

Chuaigh Joe Stecher i ngleic le linn idirthréimhse i wrestling proifisiúnta Mheiriceá. Prior to 1900, Bhí wrestlers ag gabháil go príomha i gcomórtais dhlisteanacha cé go n-oibríonn wrestlers cluichí ó am go chéile. After 1915, d'oibrigh na wrestlers go léir a gcuid cluichí. Ní raibh wrestlers ag troid i gcomórtais dhlisteanacha ach amháin chun aighneas bolscaireachta a réiteach nó chun cros dhúbailte a bhaint de. From 1900 to 1915, wrestlers ag gabháil do mheascán de chluichí oibrithe
