Main Content
Pendant des années,, Je n'ai trouvé aucun compte rendu des exploits de Bernarr Macfadden en tant que lutteur professionnel à ST. Louis. While research the beginnings of what would become Tom Packs’ St. Louis Wrestling Promotion en 1921 and 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.
Dans 1893 and 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 Janvier 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 match de titre between Ed “Strangler” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
