In Lou Thesz’s autobiography nqe lauj kaub (affiliate link), Thesz shares Ed “Strangler” Lewis depiction ntawm John “Tus nebraska Tsov txiv neej” 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. Hauv no match, Pendleton wrestled for Curley’s promotional group, while Pesek represented the Gold Dust Trio.
