En aquest episodi, parlem de la doble creu Dick Shikat de Danno O'Mahony al març 1936. També ens acompanya a l'estudi el meu nét petit Connor, que passa l'estona amb el seu pare, Caleb, que ha tornat al podcast aquesta setmana.

Update

I will be starting the new research project in the beginning of September 2023. Right now, I am getting ahead on articles for the website and adding to my last St. Louis history book.

Podcast Art for the It Was Almost Real: El podcast de la història de la lluita lliure professional

Main Content

En 1934, Boston promoter Paul Bowser actively searched for an Irish wrestling star to draw in the many Irish fans living around the Boston area. Bowser brought a muscular shot putter named Danno O’Mahony to become his top star.

After six months of training, O’Mahony could work a credible match but O’Mahony was a sitting duck for a legitimate wrestler. Al març de 2, 1936, O’Mahony met that credible wrestler in Dick Shikat, who shot on O’Mahony and took his world title.

Shikat killed the career of one of professional wrestling’s biggest box office stars and exposed the worked nature of professional wrestling.

Revisió

We reviewed Gunther vs. Drew McIntyre from Summerslam. This match would hold up in any era.
