Main Topic

У 1924, Billy Sandow decided the Gold Dust Trio needed to promote a new wrestling star. Sandow selected “Big” Wayne Munn, a celebrated University of Nebraska football player.

Sandow’s partners, World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Ed “Душыцель” Lewis and Joseph “Toots” Mondt warned Sandow against putting the championship on Munn, who could not defend himself against shooters or hookers.

Sandow reassured Lewis and Mondt by saying he would only book Munn against wrestlers they could trust. Sandow’s decision led to one of the most significant double-crosses in American professional wrestling history.

Review

This week we reviewed two wrestling matches. The first is the oldest professional wrestling match on film. It is a Greco-Roman wrestling match from Prague in 1913. The men appear to be shooting or wrestling a legitimate contest.

Gustav Fristensky vs. Josef SmejkalI believe Fristensky is in the long tights with the muscular build. Smejkal wears a signlet top initially but takes off the top during the intermission.

The second match is a film from 1940. This film has commentary and you can easily determine who is who. Cowboy Karl Davis vs. Terry McGinnis.
