Jim Londos from the November 16, 1920 edition of Idaho Statesman (Public Domain)

Londos was the biggest box office star in professional wrestling history. While Londos was not in the same league as Ed “Strangulatam” Lewis, Joe Stecher or JohnThe Nebraska Tigerman” Sand, Londos did know “hooking”, the insider term for submission wrestling.

Abe Coleman achieved fame asthe Hebrew Hercules.While Coleman stood only 5’03”, he weighed over 200 pondo. Coleman also possessed a professional bodybuilder’s physique without the use of steroids. When Coleman died in 2007 at 101-years-old, he was the oldest living former professional wrestler.

Oki Shikina was born Morio Shikina in Okinawa. Shikina debuted in the early 1930s. Shikina wrestled until 1955, when he was 51-years-old.

Watch the match clips and let me know what you think of it.
