Ĉefa Enhavo
Por jaroj, I could not find any account of Bernarr MacFadden’s exploits as a professional wrestler in St. Louis. While research the beginnings of what would become Tom Packs’ St. Louis wrestling promotion in 1921 Kaj 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. Louis.
Je 1893 Kaj 1894, MacFadden was Barney McFadden, skilled lightweight Greco-Roman professional wrestler. Only 25-years-old, McFadden already contemplated retirement to enter the publishing business.
En januaro 1894, McFadden wrestled Luttbeg in his final professional wrestling match. We discuss the controversial match in this episode.
Recommendation
Mi rekomendas the remaining video of the 1928 titolo matĉo between Ed “Strangler” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
