حادثة 54 – حلقة فرانكنشتاين

Technical difficulties led to this podcast being more of a compilation. We discuss an odd decision by the New York State Althletic Commission in 1921.

Update

In our original update we covered most of the main wrestling stories since Dan went in to the hospital. للأسف, none of the audio was useable from this section.

The commission fell for Billy Sandow’s and Ed “خانق” Lewis’s promotional tactics in selling the headlock as a deadly wrestling hold.

New York promoters Jack Curley and Tex Rickard did not like the new rule. Curley and Rickard feared criticizing the rule because the Commission could fine or ban them from New York.

Instead, an Olympic Champion criticized the ban, which could seriously damage professional wrestling as a spectator sport.

إعادة النظر

I briefly review WWE Backlash and why I am considering tapping out on modern pro wrestling permanently.
