Într-o postare recentă, Am scris despre încercarea nereușită a lui Charles Green de a-l învinge pe Evan “Strangler” Lewis in 1889. A year later, Green a avut un succes mai mare cu o altă legendă a luptei americane, Martin “Agricultor” Burns.

The Gold Dust Trio’s dominance of professional wrestling in the early to mid-1920s bred lots of resentment with other wrestlers and promoters.

Green a avut ocazia în iulie 21, 1889, când s-a luptat cu campionul american Heavyweight Catch-as-Catch-Can Evan Lewis. Pentru a se pregăti pentru acest meci, Green s-a confruntat cu un handicap cu luptătorul de luptă Bert Scheller la sfârșitul lunii iunie. S-a născut Scheller
Mike “Twin” Sullivan claimed the Welterweight World Boxing Championship, when he decisioned Honey Mellody in April 1907. Possessing both heavy hands and better than normal boxing skills, Sullivan claimed victories over the great Joe Gans and future Welterweight World Boxing Champion Harry Lewis during his career. Lewis won the welterweight title, when Sullivan could no longer make the 147 pound
Whether it was a double-cross or an attempt to setup a legitimate contest, Paul Bowser’s attempt to secure a match between Joe Stecher and Joe Malcewicz nearly resulted in a riot on March 11, 1926. Events of the previous year actually set this debacle into motion. From the end of 1922, the Gold Dust Trio of Ed “Strangler” Lewis, lui
Tom Jenkins had the distinction of being the only wrestler to defeat Frank Gotch multiple times. Jenkins and Gotch traded the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship between 1902 și 1906. At the time of this match, Jenkins was the champion again. Fred Beell had been campaigning for a match with Jenkins for the past several months. Beell finally convinced Jenkins to
On Joe Acton’s 33rd birthday, Martie 8, 1885, he wrestled fellow countryman Tom Cannon in a 2-out-of-3-falls match at Sportsman Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. Acton and Cannon had a long history together. Both men were born in England in early 1952. Cannon was born a month later than Acton on April 19, 1852. Both men started wrestling in the
Earl Caddock a avut o carieră de lupte profesionale relativ scurtă, dar plină de istorie, la sfârșitul anilor 1910 și începutul anilor 1920.. Și-a făcut debutul profesional în 1915 după ce a câștigat trei titluri naționale AAU la lupte amatori, Caddock a luptat doar profesional până când 1922. Totuși, va fi recunoscut drept campion mondial după ce l-a învins pe Joe Stecher în aprilie 1917. Caddock ar pierde titlul înapoi
