Nuashonraigh
I have finished writing Origins of a Legend: The Making of Ed “Strangler” Lewis. After editing, it should be released in late January/early February 2024.
We briefly discuss Vince Russo’s ideas for a women’s wrestling organization. We try to figure out the market for this material. We also suggest a therapist is probably warranted.

Main Content
Early mixed martial arts (MMA) contests were style versus style. Sa chlár seo, we discuss a boxer versus wrestler bout between “Battling” Levinsky and Ray Steele.
I also discuss Sam McVey versus Tano Matsuda in a boxing versus jiu-jitsu match. We finish the discussion with Ad Santel versus Taro Miyake in a wrestling versus jiu-jitsu match.
Léirmheas
We look at one of the few wrestler versus boxer matches on video. “Judo” Gene LeBell took on Milo Savage in 1963.
