Kui maadluse raskekaalu maailmameister William Muldoon lõpetas 1889, ta lootis, et tema kaitsealune Ernest Roeber tunnistatakse uueks meistriks. Siiski, Muldoon võitis oma tiitli kreeka-rooma maadluses, mis oli Saksamaal sündinud Roeberi ekspertiis. Kahjuks, Martini vägiteod “Farmer” Burns ja Evan “Kuristaja” Lewis katapulteeris püüd-saak-saab maadluse domineerivale stiilile. Roeberil oli a

Joe Acton settled in Philadelphia at Arthur Chamber’s Champions Rest during the summer months of
Sorakichi Matsuda originally trained in sumo wrestling. When Matsuda decided to become a catch-as-catch-can wrestler, he was forced to travel to the United States. Professional wrestling would not become popular in Japan until the middle of the Twentieth Century. Upon arriving in the United States in 1883, it took Matsuda a few months to secure a match.

Tegelikult, Samuel Rachman, who promoted both the 1915 International Wrestling Tournament and Greco-Roman World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Aleksander “Alex” Aberg, tried to lure retired World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch into the tournament. Rachman hoped to bolster Aberg’s claim as the successor to Gotch. Rachman offered Gotch $20,000 to wrestle Aberg in May 1915. Rachmani turniir pidi algama kolmapäeval
