插曲 10 – 約翰 “虎人” 沙

播客: 發揮新窗口 | 下載

在這一集, we will be talking about John “The Nebraska Tigerman” Pesek.

Update

I have completed the first draft of the history of the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. 我預計在 10 月底或 11 月初發布完成的書 2022.

We also briefly discuss the situation in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with the suspension of their top star and three Executive Vice Presidents. The situation is fascinating from a management perspective.

Main Content

We begin the main topic by paraphrasing a section of Lou Thesz’s Autobiography, 妓女, about John “虎人” 或 “內布拉斯加虎人” 沙. 和 “扼殺” Lewis’s recollection of Pesek is the basis for Thesz’s description. Lewis mentored Thesz.

I have a tough time squaring this account of Pesek with his action in legitimate contests (芽) that Pesek wrestled in the early 1920s. Pesek wrestled the trust buster 馬林·普雷斯蒂納 十一月 1921.

Pesek wrestled an even more dangerous contest with NCAA Wrestling Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist Nat Pendleton in 1923. Jack Curley was feuding with “砂金三重奏.” Curley backed Pendleton for a matchup with World Champion Ed “扼殺” Lewis but Billy Sandow sent Pesek to wrestle Pendleton instead. Gamblers favored Pendleton in the matchup.

John Pesek was born in Ravenna, Nebraska on February 21, 1894. Pesek wrestled sporadically after 1930 because he made a fortune racing greyhound dogs.

Wrestling Review

Caleb and I review Wrestlemania 17 with a particular focus on the “Stone Cold” Steve Austin versus “The Rock Match”.
