Malangnya, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Saya sering menemui cabaran terbesar dalam meneliti gusti profesional awal adalah memisahkan fakta dari fiksyen. Walaupun ahli gusti bertanding dalam pertandingan yang sah, mereka sering membuahkan hasil, membangun cerita rakyat apokrif mengenai kemenangan mereka dan membuat cerita menarik untuk menjelaskan kerugian mereka.
