Actualización

The reach of the podcast continues to amaze me. Besides the United States, listeners have downloaded episodes in the Netherlands, Seychelles, Turkey, Canada, Alemania, Finland, United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Estonia, France, Irlanda, and Poland. I will try to release more episodes going forward.

I have finished The Divided Championship Era. I will release it in the first or second week of June 2025.

I will be focusing on updating a second edition of St. Louis’ Guerra civil: El tranvía de la huelga de 1900 before starting on my next combat sports project.

The history of Decoration/Memorial Day in the United States

Emil Klank, Frank Gotch’s manager, wanted to schedule Gotch’s match with Stanislaus Zbyszko on Decoration Day, Mayo 30, 1910.

Sin embargo, Chicago’s mayor refused to issue the permit because it would distract fans from decorating their relatives’ graves.

Why promoters preferred to schedule big matches for holidays. The big crowds who came out to matches on Labor Day 1911 and July 4, 1916.
