Sa chlár seo, I talk about the 1924 match between Jim Browning and Taro Miyake.

Nuashonraigh

Our Labor Day episode will be the full crew. This episode and that episode will tie together with a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) crossover and how gambling schemes affected pro wrestling and why it is a worry for modern MMA.

I answer a listener question about the recent release of Gable Stevenson.

Main Content

In 1924, Jim Browning was an up-and-coming 21-year-old wrestler wrestling the 43-year-old former challenge match participant Taro Miyake.

Promoters played up Miyake’s participation in previous challenge matches by booking the match as a mixed styles match.

During the second fall, a rough exchange infuriated Browning, who quit cooperating in the worked match.

Browning and Miyake got back on track until the finish of the second fall.

Was this match a work or a shoot?

Léirmheas

I look at the UFC Fight Night from St. Louis and a fight, which caused concern among sports bettors.
