Conținutul principal

When fans wonder where all the false information about historical wrestlers came from, the answer is often from the wrestlers themselves or their managers.

In the early 1920s, Sandow and Lewis capitalized on the popularity of the Gold Dust Trio by publishing a series of books on physical culture and wrestler.

In the introduction, Sandow and Lewis claim that Sandow discovered Lewis, when Lewis was still an amateur.

Totuși, Sandow and Lewis made this version of events up out of whole cloth. Sandow did not meet Lewis until Lewis had been a professional wrestler for at least three years.

Recenzie
