Épisode 30 – Shikat contre. O'Mahony

Dans cet épisode, we discuss the Dick Shikat double-cross of Danno O’Mahony in March 1936. We are also joined in the studio by my youngest grandson Connor, who is hanging out with his dad, Caleb, who returned to the podcast this week.

Update

I will be starting the new research project in the beginning of September 2023. Pour le moment, I am getting ahead on articles for the website and adding to my last St. Louis livre d'histoire.

Main Content

Dans 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. Sur Mars 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.

Revoir

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