12 월 1921, a group of St. Louis businessmen worked with Ed White’s Chicago wrestling promotion to host a match at the Odeon Theater, which drew 400 fans. From these humble beginnings rose the St. Louis wrestling promotion, a powerhouse in professional wrestling from 1920s to 1982.
John Contos took over the promotion in mid-1922. Contos moved the wrestling cards from the Odeon Theater to St. 루이’ Old Coliseum. Contos also moved the matches from mats on top of a stage to a wrestling ring.
