Lou Thesz Vs. Jersey Joe Walcott | Boxer Vs. Wrestler Match - 1966

Considering the time period where kayfabe was strictly maintained and Lou Thesz being a legit shooter this bout is not a work but a shoot wrestling fight.

The age old theory is that one a legitimate shooter grabs a hold of a great boxer that that's all she wrote

Amazing and historical

so glad this is back up

Lou Thesz was so influential. I just hope they keep preserving his name for a lifetime because the next generation should know more about the pioneers of pro wrestling like him. He was all about wrestling, not entertainment. And if you still don’t understand, compare him to Undertaker. You’ll easily notice who’s the fighter and who’s the entertainer.
