Sparatutto in un mondo lavorato disponibile
John "The Nebraska Tigerman" Pesek ha iniziato a lottare professionalmente nel 1915, ma Pesek era più adatto al 1885 anello di wrestling professionale. Da 1915, i lottatori lavoravano nelle loro partite.
L'abile lottatore leggero Clarence Ecklund ha addestrato Pesek nel wrestling catch-as-catch-can. Pesek è diventato un'abile prostituta o un lottatore di sottomissione. A Pesek non è mai piaciuto lavorare e lottare nelle gare all'inizio della sua carriera.

Alla fine, Pesek did work with his opponents but still preferred to wrestle legitimate contests. In 1921, Jack Curley engaged Pesek to end a promotional war by booking Pesek in a legitimate contest.
Two year later, Pesek wrestled a second legitimate contest but instead of ending a promotional war, Pesek started a promotional war. Later Pesek double-crossed the current world champion after working with the champion in two earlier matches.
After the double-cross, promoters still booked Pesek into three world championship reigns. Despite worries about who would take the title off Pesek, if he did not want to lose it, promoters still put the title on Pesek.
Pesek eventually became a millionaire but not through his professional wrestling career. Pesek bred and raced greyhound racing dogs. Nel 1970, eighty percent of the greyhound racing dogs in the United States descended from two Pesek’s Australian greyhounds Andy and Just Andrew.
