Nat Fleischer quotes

“The story of American wrestling at its greatest is the story of its most illustrious champion, Frank Gotch. He dominated the field.

It was Gotch's victories over the hitherto invincible Hackenschmidt that made him the post popular mat star in America and started a movement among college men to take up wrestling.”
