ในตอนนี้, I discuss the beginnings of the regular St. Louis wrestling promotion in 1921. I also discuss the Mr. McMahon documentary on Netflix.

Update

Due to illness and medical appointments, we are a little late on releasing the episode this week.

มือปืนในโลกการทำงาน: John Pesek and the 1920s Promotional Wars is available on Amazon in ebook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook.

Main Content

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

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.
