In 'n blogpos verlede maand, Ek het geskryf oor die probleme wat promotors gehad het om die Joe Stecher vs Jess Westergaard-wedstryd op te voer. Oorspronklik geskeduleer vir Omaha, Nebraska, die Omaha-polisiehoof en polisiekommissaris was bekommerd oor die wedstryd wat vooraf gereël is of a “work”.

Omaha-polisiehoof H.W. Dunn het in Maart opskrifte geskep 28, 1915, toe hy 'n bevel uitgereik het wat die geadverteerde professionele stoeiwedstryd tussen Joe Stecher en Jess Westergaard verbied.

Kugel het 'n verklaring uitgereik aan
Op Desember 13, 1920, En “Worger” Lewis het Joe Stecher vir sy Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap verslaan. Professional wrestling was a staged exhibition by 1920. Egter, such was the strong feelings between the men that the match may have been a “shoot” or legitimate match in which Lewis took the belt. Whether the outcome of the match was real, the feud
Januarie 11, 1911, world heavyweight wrestling championship contender Stanislaus Zbysko faced the challenge of the powerful but less talented Peter “Giant” Nogert. Nogert was a South African wrestler, who came to the United States for a few years in the early 1910s.
