Main Content

I discuss the first of three matches in 1926 between World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Joe Stecher and John “The Nebraska Tigerman” Pesek. Stecher and Pesek wrestled in St. Louis, Missouri on Thursday, April 29, 1926, for five hours before the referee raised Stecher’s hand.

I wrote about this match in Shooter in a Worked World: John Pesek and the 1920s Promotional Wars and the upcoming book on the Divided Championship Era.

Review

I also discuss watching several episodes of AEW Dynamite for the first time.
