Artykuł w gazecie o Johnie Contosie’ St. Karta zapaśnicza Louisa w 1923 (Public Domain)

Główna zawartość

In December 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. Louis’ Old Coliseum. Contos also moved the matches from mats on top of a stage to a wrestling ring.

W 1924, Contos opuścił St. Louis to manage Dan Kołow. His nephew Tom Packs took over the promotion. Packs developed it into a national powerhouse. The promotion that drew 400 fans to its first card drew 17,000+ fans to St. Louis University Field on May 30, 1925, to watch Joe Stecher take the world title from Stanislaus Zbyszko.
