Доступан стрелац у обрађеном свету

John “The Nebraska Tigerman” Pesek started wrestling professionally in 1915, but Pesek was more suited to the 1885 professional wrestling ring. По 1915, wrestlers worked their matches.

Skilled lightweight wrestler Clarence Ecklund trained Pesek in catch-as-catch-can wrestling. Pesek developed into a skilled hooker or submission wrestler. Pesek never liked working and wrestled contests in his early career.

Коначно, Pesek did work with his opponents but still preferred to wrestle legitimate contests. У 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. У 1970, eighty percent of the greyhound racing dogs in the United States descended from two Pesek’s Australian greyhounds Andy and Just Andrew.
