The Russian Lion may have been correct, but remember......the great American, from Humbolt, Iowa,...Frank Gotch...kicked his ass twice. Yeah, that was when wrestling was real. Hackenschmidt had the great body and won 500 matches in Europe, but the Iowa farm boy destroyed him. That is fact.
@ewoldt Yes, Frank Gotch really did win, but wasn't it obvious? Georg Hackenschmidt damaged his leg and Frank know about it, so he could plan his moves to attack Georg's weakness. So it was lucky match for Gotch and let's not forget another fellow estonian who was stronger then Georg, Aberg. Gotch wasn't even brave enough to have a match with Aberg, though the estonian but out a 15 000 dollar prize if Frank would win him.
