Opis

William Muldoon is largely forgotten but he introduced the health resort to America at the end of the Nineteenth Century after a highly successful professional wrestling career. Muldoon defeated many great wrestlers including Sorakichi Matsada, Evan "Strangler" Lewis and his most formidable challenger Clarence Whistler. Muldoon and Whistler set a ring time record with a seven hour draw. The book also examines whether Muldoon took part in fixed matches in the largely legitimate era. Towards the end of his wrestling career, his training methods helped a woefully out of shape John L. Sullivan beat his most formidable challenger Jake Kilrain. This book tells the story of Muldoon's struggle to stay on top of the wrestling world while building a successful training business on the side. Muldoon's story will inspire you as you learn how Muldoon built two successful careers, helped found the New York State Athletic Commission and lived a fascinating life.
