Id-dominanza tal-Gold Dust Trio tal-lotta professjonali fil-bidu sa nofs l-1920s ġabet ħafna riżentiment ma’ wrestlers u promoturi oħra. Din l-għira professjonali wasslet għal double-cross famuż 1925. Minn dan iż-żmien 'il quddiem, it-titlu mondjali kien ikkontestat hekk kif Joe Stecher kellu verżjoni waħda, filwaqt li Ed “Strangler” Lewis kellu l-verżjoni l-oħra. Minħabba r-riżentiment reali

Kemm jekk kien double-cross jew attentat biex jitwaqqaf kompetizzjoni leġittima, It-tentattiv ta’ Paul Bowser li jassigura partita bejn Joe Stecher u Joe Malcewicz kważi rriżulta f’rewwixta f’Marzu 11, 1926. L-avvenimenti tas-sena ta’ qabel fil-fatt wasslu għal din id-diżgrazzja. Mill-aħħar ta 1922, it-Trio tat-Trab tad-Deheb tal-Ed “Strangler” Lewis, tiegħu

Tom Jenkins kellu d-distinzjoni li kien l-uniku wrestler li għeleb lil Frank Gotch diversi drabi. Jenkins u Gotch innegozjaw il-Kampjonat Amerikan tal-Lotta Heavyweight bejn 1902 u 1906. Fil-ħin ta’ din il-partita, Jenkins reġa’ kien iċ-champion. Fred Beell had been campaigning for a match with Jenkins for months. Beell finally convinced Jenkins to meet him but

Joseph “Toots” Mondt wrestled professionally from the early 1910s through the 1930s but he made his real mark as a booker, booking agent and promoter. While Ed “Strangler” Lewis considered Mondt his equal in a legitimate wrestling match, Mondt has a genius for creating angles and finishes in worked wrestling exhibitions.

In-numri jivvalidaw dan it-twemmin? Qabel ir-rebħ tal-kampjonat, Zbyszko wrestled ex champion Joe Stecher fil-71 Regiment Armory quddiem 7,000 fans. Fil 1915, l-

Joe Stecher started out 1915, a fateful year for his career, with a victory over Adolph Ernst. Ernst wrestled under the name Otto Carpenter for this match but was known to professional wrestling fans as Ad Santel. Santel had a deserved reputation for being a vicious “Hooker”, a wrestler skilled in submission holds. Stecher was a 22-year-old Nebraskan, who made

Champion tad-Dinja tal-Lotta Heavyweight Ed “Strangler” Lewis ġġieled mijiet ta’ logħbiet leġittimi ta’ lotta ma’ Joseph “Toots” Mondt matul is-snin. Waqt konversazzjonijiet mal-protejat żagħżugħ tiegħu, Lou Thesz, Lewis qal li fil-karriera twila tiegħu kellu biss jinkwieta li jitlef kontra żewġ wrestlers. Mondt u Stanislaus Zbyszko biss kellhom iċ-ċans li jegħlbuh f'kompetizzjoni leġittima. Wieħed

On Sunday, Diċembru 14, 1924, “Big” Wayne Munn wrestled Joseph “Toots” Mondt fl-avveniment ewlieni tal-karta tal-lotta fil-Kansas City, Missouri, Sala tal-Konvenzjoni. 10,000 il-partitarji dehru jferrħu lil Munn, eks plejer tal-futbol tal-kulleġġ għall-Università ta’ Nebraska.
