Publisher's Synopsis

The Matches Which Built and Crippled an Industry

Frank Gotch turned pro wrestling from a fringe spectacle to one of the most popular spectator sports. Still, it took Gotch three years to lure undefeated World Champion George Hackenschmidt to the United States for a title defense.

The result was two controversial but legitimate wrestling matches, whose effects were felt for the next two decades.

Read the true story of this series of matches.
