 Collar and Elbow was a brutal style of Irish wrestling, but it was very different from what you would see on a high school or collegiate wrestling team. Opponents would wear thick jackets and garments that could be grabbed and pulled, and the objective was to throw your opponent onto their backs. Trips, kicks, throws, chokes, and submissions were also allowed, and Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, happened to be very good at it. Lincoln also did not tolerate bullies. In fact, as a young man, he was recruited by his town to take on a local troublemaker. They agreed to a wrestling match, and Lincoln folded his clothes for him, with the bully still inside. At 6 foot 4, he was a large man, a veteran of the Black Hawk War, and known to be very strong. During the war, he defended a native that his troops wanted to kill, but everyone was afraid of the challenging old honest ape. He was very well versed in the acts, and often demonstrated single-handed choppy skills. Oh, and he also had the vampires, so there's that.
