Стидим се да кажем да сам недавно открио каријеру Коре Ливингстон, истражујући развој локалног промоторског система у професионалном рвању током 1910-их и 1920-их година. Милдред Бурке је била прва велика шампионка у рвању за које сам знао. <Спан ббок_к = "289" ббок_и = "553" ббок_в = "56" ббок_х = "20" фсизе = "14" фвеигхт = "3" црвено = "255" зелено = "255" плави = "255" алфа = ", Кора Ливингстон је освојила светско првенство годину дана пре него што је Бурк уопште рођен.
