We only spend a few minutes talking about the Vince McMahon scandal. Ek maak 'n boekaanbeveling, En Patera: Gewig van die wêreld (Koste skakel), en deel 'n paar stories oor my pa, Ernest Charles Diaz.

Main Content

I realized that we have not talked much about William Muldoon, the topic of my first pro wrestling book.

Besides being the World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion from 1880 te 1889, Muldoon was America’s first celebrity trainer.

Only one opponent ever troubled Muldoon in Muldoon’s specialty, Greco-Roman wrestling. Clarence Whistler gave Muldoon fits in their series of matches.

Whistler usually held Muldoon to a draw including a 7-hour stalemate that drove all the fans off with the exception of about a dozen determined souls.

Muldoon only won one match from Whistler, when Muldoon accidentally injured Whistler on a slam. Muldoon accepted another draw but Whistler demanded the referee declare Muldoon the winner based on Whistler’s withdrawal.

Tragies, Whistler died in Australia during 1885 op 26 jaar oud. No one else troubled Muldoon during the remainder of his title reign.
