Two hundred Stecher fans from Dodge, Nebraska traveled to Lincoln to watch the match.

Tex Rickard, the famous boxing promoter, hired Plestina to be the first trust buster. Rickard challenged Jack Curley’s promotional dominance of professional wrestling in New York City. Curley assigned John “Tigerman” Pesek to wrestle Plestina in a legitimate contest to settle the conflict.

Before he became a trust buster five years later, Plestina traveled to Lincoln to wrestle Stecher on March 26, 1914. Plestina regretted making the trip.

Stecher quickly showed his superiority. Only Plestina’s superior strength allowed him to survive.

Stecher stood a lanky six feet, one inch tall, an inch taller than Plestina. Stecher weighed 205 পাউন্ড, while Plestina weighed 220 পাউন্ড. Stecher utilized his superior reach to secure the body scissors repeatedly.

Plestina pushed Stecher off two or three times before Stecher secured a body scissors with an arm bar. Stecher forced Plestina’s shoulders to the mat at the 17-minute mark.

The intermission lasted longer than the second fall. After the 10-minute intercession, Stecher needed only three minutes to finish Plestina. Stecher secured another body scissors and arm bar combination to pin Plestina.
