I have committed to finishing the St. Louis history book in the next few months. Since I also want to finish the story of Ed “Strangler” Lewis’ career, I am going to work on both projects at the same time.

I should finish both projects by late summer or early fall 2024.

A rare instance where Lewis hooked his opponent when they quit working and started shooting with each other.

I also learned that Lewis wrestled Stanislaus Zbyszko in one of Zbyszko’s last matches in the spring of 1914. I thought Lewis and Zbyszko met for the first time in 1921.

I recommend an episode of World Class Championship Wrestling Star Wars from 1981 on Peacock. The episode includes a match where a fan is so caught up in the action that he attacks manager Gary Hart.

I also recommend Harley Race vs. Kerry Von Erich as a typical 1980s NWA title match.
