By the end of the 1910s, professional wrestling promoters booked wrestlers in worked or pre-arranged wrestling matches. Occasionally, usually as a result of a double cross, fans would see an actual contest or “shoot” match between the wrestlers. One of these matches occurred in late 1921 and arose from a feud between Tex Rickard, primarily a boxing promoter, and Jack
