Hoofd-inhoud
Voor de jaren, Ik kon geen verslag vinden van de exploits van Bernarr MacFadden als een professionele worstelaar in ST. Louis. While research the beginnings of what would become Tom Packs’ St. Louis worstelpromotie in 1921 en 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.
In 1893 en 1894, MacFadden was Barney McFadden, skilled lightweight Greco-Roman professional wrestler. Only 25-years-old, McFadden already contemplated retirement to enter the publishing business.
In januari 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 “Worger” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
