Main Content

Yn 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. Ar Fawrth 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.

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