Päivitys
Update on the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship book project due out before Christmas this year. Tämä projekti on paljon suurempi kuin kuvittelin. Wrestlers worked more of the matches than I initially suspected as well. The good news is I believe a solid timeline for the belt will be established with this book.

Why I Wrote the Post?
First Phase (1860s to 1890s) – Backers (wrestling fans) usually served as promoters.
Second Phase (1885 to 1910s) – Managers acted as quasi-promoters partnering with athletic clubs, buildings and sometimes backers to secure venues for matches.
Third Phase (1910s and 1920s) – Development of local promoters in the major and smaller cities who formed weak alliances to control professional wrestling. The promoters were not weak but the alliances were because the promoters often turned on each other.
