Main Content

لسنوات, I could not find any account of Bernarr MacFadden’s exploits as a professional wrestler in St. لويس. While research the beginnings of what would become Tom Packs’ الحادي و. Louis wrestling promotion in 1921 و 1922, I stumbled across an article that listed B.A. McFadden’s match with Max Luttbeg as one of the best matches held in St. لويس.

Only 25-years-old, McFadden already contemplated retirement to enter the publishing business.

في يناير 1894, McFadden wrestled Luttbeg in his final professional wrestling match. We discuss the controversial match in this episode.

Recommendation

I recommend the remaining video of the 1928 title match between Ed “خانق” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
