ამ ეპიზოდში, we discuss William Muldoon vs. Clarence Whistler as we try to be more positive this week.
Update
We only spend a few minutes talking about the Vince McMahon scandal. I make a book recommendation, Ken Patera: Weight of the World (შვილობილი ლინკები), and share a few stories about my dad, ერნესტ ჩარლზ დიასი.
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 to 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.
ტრაგიკულად, Whistler died in Australia during 1885 at 26 წლის ასაკიდან. No one else troubled Muldoon during the remainder of his title reign.
