Of course not because by and large the matches were too predictable.It was the lack of betting in the UK that convinced many fans that it is a pre arranged spectacle

Very detailed reporting indicates New York Herald would be interested in this high profile match

Peter, thank you. Yes, back then American newspapers were very, very specific when it comes to the wrestling matches reports, and very detail oriented. If you have a good 3D imagination skill you can easily visualize all holds, locks, trips and throws when reading those articles. And yes of course journalists did investigate the 'sport' and were revealing the truth, because people were fooled and believed it to be genuine contests, and some would lose their last penny on literally a 'showcase'. Would you consider betting on a modern pro wrestling (whether it is pre 1989 Mount Evans UK or American NWA/WWF) event?
