4 - Ed 'Strangler' Lewis def. Jim Londos
(02:04:43)
Notes:
The first two matches are both said to be 'more humorous then competitive.'
At one point during the main event when Lewis had Londos in a 'vise-like grip for two minutes,' it's said 'A man who cannot be convinced that the Civil War was a 'frame up' raised up his squeak near the press seats: "These guys ain't tryin'," said he. "They belong to the Big Four."'
Linow was said to have the upperhand in wrestling but Cazeaux in roughness. Although overall the match is to resemble 'a mixture of boxing, football, la savate, and anything else but wrestling.'
Londos is billed as the Greek Heavyweight Champion.
The order of who would go on for the two main events was decided via a coin toss.
In the build up to the event Chevalier was billed as the 'Inter-allied Champion.'
