At the beginning of 1911, the wrestling public considered three men to be the greatest challenge to reigning World Champion Frank Gotch. Former champion George Hackenschmidt, Stanislaus Zbyszko and “Groźny Turk” Yussif Mahmout wanted the chance to beat Gotch.

Gotch wanted to meet “Siekać” w St. Louis during the 1904 Targi na świecie. Unfortunately for Gotch and St. Louis, the match would not occur until 1908 in Chicago,
The fate of much of St. Louis’ historic buildings prove the old real estate adage. It’s all about location, location, location.
