Eguneratzea
Endeavor recently bought World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) eta Ultimate Fighting Championship-ekin enpresa batean batu zuen (UFC). Landutako erakusketa bat lehiaketa legitimoekin bateratzea agian ez da Endeavour-ek aurreikusitako ideia bikaina.

Main Content
The “Terrible Turk”, Yusuf Ismail, arrived in the United States during March 1898. Ismail wrestled Ernst Roeber (twice), Tom Jenkins, Herklides and Evan “Strangler” Lewis.
Ismail booked passage back to the Ottoman Empire on the SS La Bourgogne. The ship struck another ship and sank off the coast of the United States and Canada. The SS La Bourgogne is famous for only 13 percent of passengers surviving while 48 percent of the crew survived.
