Падкаст: Гуляць у новым акне | Спампаваць
In this solo episode, I look at John “The Nebraska Tiger Man” Pesek settling two promotional wars in the 1920s.
Update
I take the rare step of complimenting Tony Khan twice in the same episode.

Main Content
In Lou Thesz’s autobiography Hooker (affiliate link), Thesz shares Ed “Душыцель” Lewis depiction of John “The Nebraska Tiger Man” Pesek.
The facts of this description do not line up with Pesek settling two promotional wars in the 1920s.
I discuss Pesek’s 1921 challenge of Marin Plestina. Tex Rickard signed Plestina to represent him in a promotional war with Jack Curley’s promotional group.
Two years later in 1923, Pesek wrestled NCAA Champion and Olympic Silver Medalist Nat Pendleton. In this match, Pendleton wrestled for Curley’s promotional group, while Pesek represented the Gold Dust Trio.
Review
I did not really review this match but recommended Harley Race vs. David Von Erich in Fort Worth, Texas during 1977.
