The men started the two-out-of-three falls match at a quick pace. Probably upsetting the fans expectations and possibly gamblers, “농장주” Burns won the first fall after 32 분, 15 초. Fred Beell won the second fall at the 35 minute, 15 second mark. With one fall apiece, the winner would be decided in the third fall. The fall would be quick.

Almost from the start of the third fall, “농장주” Burns secured a top wristlock on Beell. Beell tried to free himself but Burns was able to load Beell into a hiplock.

Burns released the wristlock and flipped Beell to the mat. Burns fell on top of Beell, who shot out from underneath him almost immediately. Beell claimed he was not pinned but the referee awarded the third fall and match to Burns. Beell immediately challenged Burns to a rematch for $1,000.00 측면.

Somethings stand out about this match. 처음으로, “농장주” Burns was well past his prime but looked competitive in this match. It helped that he was working with his student Fred Beell, who wanted to make his trainer look competitive.

초, they setup abig money” rematch, which would hopefully draw a bigger crowd, with the way they ended the match. Burns scored a quick pinfall that Beell got out of almost immediately after an evenly fought match. Beell had a plausible argument that he hadn’t been pinned. Hence, the need for an immediate rematch.

As professional wrestling continued to move to an almost exclusively “근무” or prearranged exhibitions, they would perfect promotion tactics like this one to build bigger gates and make more money. While competitive wrestling was almost completely eliminated, the excitement of professional wrestling would actually increase.
