Burns te 38 ane-laj e li te pèdi chanpyona lit Ameriken Heavyweight li de zan anvan. Burns melanje tou de wòl yo nan yon swa Desanm trè okipe nan

William Hayes Shaw, ki te lite kòm Pat O'Shocker nan pi fò nan karyè lit li, jwenn tèt li nan dokiman Pwen Enpòtan an nan 1933. O'Shocker pa t' ap chèche pou sa a sòt de t'ap nonmen non menm si.

During March 1891, George Baptiste travelled from St. Louis to Detroit to take part in a catch-as-catch-can wrestling tournament. While primarily a Greco-Roman wrestler, Baptiste would compete in the dominant American style of catch-as-catch-can. The 26-year-old Baptiste was an accomplished amateur and professional wrestler.

In the early 1920s, Christos Theofilou began wrestling as Jim Londos after several years as the gimmicky “Wrestling Plasterer”. Londos probably didn’t realize that the name change would be the first step into him becoming the biggest box office attraction in 1930s professional wrestling.

Sou Jiye 4, 1922, Alan Eustace te resevwa piki li nan World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Ed “Strangler” Lewis. Eustace, chanpyon nan Kansas, won a qualifying match with “Kiltivatè” Bailey nan mwa mas 1922 pou kalifye pou match ak Lewis. 31-Eustace te gen laj menm jan ak “Strangler” Lewis men Lewis te gen plis eksperyans.
