পেসেক পাম রেসলিং থেকে রিকার্ডকে আঘাত করেন

1910 এর শেষের দিকে, পেশাদার রেসলিং প্রমোটাররা কুস্তিগীরদের কাজ বা আগে থেকে সাজানো রেসলিং ম্যাচে বুকিং দেয়. Occasionally, সাধারণত একটি ডবল ক্রস ফলে, ভক্তরা একটি প্রকৃত প্রতিযোগিতা দেখতে পাবেন বা “shoot” কুস্তিগীরদের মধ্যে ম্যাচ. এর মধ্যে একটি ম্যাচ দেরিতে হয়েছে 1921 এবং টেক্স রিকার্ডের মধ্যে একটি বিবাদ থেকে উদ্ভূত হয়েছিল, প্রাথমিকভাবে একজন বক্সিং প্রবর্তক, and Jack Curley, who was primarily a wrestling promoter.

Rickard and Curley partnered to promote a boxing event in New York City that failed financially. Both men blamed the other. Wanting to get back at Curley, Rickard started promoting professional wrestling.

About this time, Curley lost the rights to promote Madison Square Garden. The New York State Athletic Commission awarded the license to promote wrestling at Madison Square Garden to Rickard based on his success as a boxing promoter. <বিঘত bbox_x = "289" bbox_y = "724" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", to successfully challenge Curley and create a competitive product, Rickard had to secure wrestlers the public wanted to see. It wouldn’t be easy because Rickard was an outsider and not affiliated with any of the promotions, who booked the wrestlers.

Rickard secured the services of a skilled, legitimate wrestler, who was out of favor with the established promoters. Marin Plestina started wrestling professionally in 1910. World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch and Gotch’s trainer Martin “কৃষক” Burns trained Plestina for professional wrestling. Plestina challenged current World Heavyweight Champion Ed “<বিঘত bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "2015" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = "” Lewis to a title match but Lewis ignored the challenge.

After signing Plestina, Rickard harassed Curley for almost two years before Curley agreed to match Plestina with one of Curley’s wrestlers. Curley would not book Plestina against Lewis or one of the top contenders. পরিবর্তে, Curley booked JohnTigermanPesek to wrestle Plestina.

Pesek was a known “hooker”, the wrestling term for a skilled submission wrestler. Pesek could break your arm with his double wristlock or tear your leg ligaments with the toehold. Even though he weighed 185 পাউন্ড, he had knocked out larger wrestlers by slamming them. <বিঘত bbox_x = "289" bbox_y = "724" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", Pesek did not enter the ring to beat Plestina in this contest.

When the wrestlers entered the Madison Square Garden ring on November 15, 1921, fans could see Plestina, who had a elbow injury, was not in good condition. Unable to train leading up to the bout, Plestina was a sitting duck for Pesek.

With Plestina’s visibly injured arm, Pesek could have secured a double wristlock early on and ended the match with a victory. <বিঘত bbox_x = "289" bbox_y = "724" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", Pesek wanted to ruin the show, so he palm struck, butted, gouged Plestina’s eyes and committed every foul in the book.

After a few minutes, the fans began booing loudly. The referee disqualified Pesek three times. At the end of the third disqualification, Pesek jumped from the ring, ended the match and walked out of the arena in disgust.

The stench of the bout caused Rickard to quit promoting wrestling. Rickard said after the match that he was going back to boxing. Curley and his crew had achieved their objective.

 

Pesek was a skilled wrestler although not on the level of Ed “<বিঘত bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "2015" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = "” <বিঘত bbox_x = "745" bbox_y = "1211" bbox_w = "36" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "210" নীল = "31" আলফা = ".

Even though Pesek served as Lewispoliceman for several years, Lewis did not mention Pesek as being on his level.

Promoters enlisted Pesek to turn back one more promotional challenge two years later but Pesek hurt his career badly in 1926. After working two worked matches with current World Champion Joe Stecher, Pesek double-crossed Stecher in the third match with a double wristlock. Pesek forced Stecher to submit but the referee disqualified Pesek. The fans rioted but Stecher kept his title. Promoters stopped booking Pesek regularly after he attempted to steal the title.
