插曲 46 – 馬爾頓 vs. 惠斯勒

播客: 發揮新窗口 | 下載

在這一集, 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 (友情鏈接), and share a few stories about my dad, 歐內斯特·查爾斯·迪亞茲.

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 至 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.

可悲的是, Whistler died in Australia during 1885 在 26 歲以下. No one else troubled Muldoon during the remainder of his title reign.
