shikat-ferisce-omahoney

Sto scrivendo questo post per correggere un post precedente che ho scritto sui doppi giochi nel wrestling professionistico.

Zbyszko, dopo aver accettato di perdere contro Munn, lo sconfisse in quella che si trasformò in una legittima competizione per il World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship.
