Main Content

વર્ષો સુધી, I could not find any account of Bernarr MacFadden’s exploits as a professional wrestler in St. લૂઈસ. While research the beginnings of what would become Tom Packs’ સ્ટ્રીટ. Louis wrestling promotion in 1921 અને 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. લૂઈસ.

માં 1893 અને 1894, MacFadden was Barney McFadden, skilled lightweight Greco-Roman professional wrestler. Only 25-years-old, McFadden already contemplated retirement to enter the publishing business.

જાન્યુઆરીમાં 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 “Strangler” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
