“Cov hmoov av kub Trio” generated tremendous gates for their wrestling events. Ed “Strangler” Lewis was the highest paid professional athlete of the 1920s even outdrawing the great Jack Dempsey.
Txawm li cas los, their business practices infuriated many established promoters. The animosity boiled over in a Philadelphia wrestling ring during April 1925. The double-cross changed the landscape of professional wrestling for the next three years. It also led to the demise of the Gold Dust Trio. Professional wrestling only recovered financially with the Jim Londos phenomenon of the 1930s.

This book covers the formation of the Gold Dust Trio, the events leading up to the double-cross, the double-cross itself, and the aftermath. I focus on the careers of Ed “Strangler” Lewis, txoj kev “Loj” Munn, and Stanislaus Zbyszko.
Readers will come away with a better understanding of the state of professional wrestling between 1920 thiab 1928. The 1920s were the best of times and the worst of times for professional wrestling.
