隆多斯在 MSG 與布朗寧摔跤

週一, 六月 25, 1934, 現任世界冠軍吉姆·布朗寧（Jim Browning. 布朗寧在一場比賽中將冠軍頭銜丟給了隆多斯，以結束促銷戰爭，這導致了1930年代初的雙重交叉.

20,000 球迷們擠進麥迪遜廣場花園，看到比賽導致 $40,000 門. Jack Curley enjoyed a huge financial benefit for resolving the promotional war.

Londos posted a $50,000 guarantee to secure the world championship. If Londos went against the “wrestling trust”, Londos would surrender the guarantee to the promotional group.

Despite working this match, Londos and Browning convinced the New York State Athletic Commission that they were wrestling a legitimate contest. The NYSAC billed the match as contest instead of an exhibition. The commission categorized wrestling matches as exhibitions since the 1920s.

Londos and Browning wrestled a one fall match. The men wrestled for one hour, ten minutes, and ten seconds before Londos pinned Browning to win the match. You can view a film of the last minute or so of the match on YouTube.
