BBC recently made a decision about the BBC Sounds app that is truly irritating.

توسط 1927, pressure mounted on both Joe Stecher’s and Ed “<طول bbox_x = "976" bbox_y = "1956" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" قرمز = "255" سبز = "255" آبی = "255" آلفا = "” Lewis’s camps to end the divided championship.

Newspaper reports about Jack Curley, بیلی ساندو, and the Stecher Brothers controlling wrestling in certain states and territories appeared in summer 1927.

Fans also realized that Lewis and Stecher defended their respective titles in the same cities against the same opponents.

The publicity did not negatively affect the box office but both camps started to worry that it might the longer the Divided Championship Era lasted.

Recommendation

I started reading Louisville’s Greatest Show: The Story of the Allen Athletic Club by John Cosper. It is an easy and informative read.
