Nội dung chính
Trong nhiều năm qua, 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 và 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.
Trong 1893 và 1894, MacFadden was Barney McFadden, skilled lightweight Greco-Roman professional wrestler. Only 25-years-old, McFadden already contemplated retirement to enter the publishing business.
Trong tháng 1894, McFadden wrestled Luttbeg in his final professional wrestling match. We discuss the controversial match in this episode.
Recommendation
Tôi khuyên bạn nên the remaining video of the 1928 trận đấu tiêu đề between Ed “Strangler” Lewis and NFL star Gus Sonnenberg. Lewis trained Sonnenberg for the ring.
