Podcast: Atskaņot jaunā logā | Download

Šajā epizodē, 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 (filiāli saite), and share a few stories about my dad, Ernests Čārlzs Diazs.

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 līdz 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.

Traģiski, Whistler died in Australia during 1885 pie 26 gadiem. No one else troubled Muldoon during the remainder of his title reign.

Pārskats
