Joseph “Toots” Mondt wrestled professionally from the early 1910s through the 1930s but he made his real mark as a booker, booking agent and promoter.

Mondt would join Lewis and his manager Billy Sandow

Cando William Muldoon se retirou como campión mundial de loita grecorromana de peso pesado 1889, non había un sucesor preparado para o campionato.

O mellor loitador grecorromano estadounidense, Clarence Whistler, morrera en Australia durante 1885. O sucesor escollido por Muldoon era alemán
