We have to WAY BACK for this one.  In the late 1800s, William Muldoon was recognized as the World’s Greco-Roman Champion.  He would defend that championship against all comers and retired undefeated.  While his work in the ring bared little resemblance to what it would become this is a bona fide pioneer and more than worthy of Legacy Wing consideration.

The Bullet Points

  • Billed From: Caneadea, New York, U.S.A.
  • Key Championships Held: World Greco-Roman Champion
  • Why they will get in: Historically speaking he is vital to the history of professional wrestling.
  • Why they won't get in: Are we counting on the WWE to recognize this?
  • Five Greatest Matches/Moments:
    1. Defeated Thiebaud Bauer for the claimed World Greco-Roman Championship 1880
    2. Wrestled Clarence Whistler to a seven-hour draw 1881
    3. Went on a whirlwind tour defending the title and promoting 1180’s
    4. Trained John L. Sullivan for the Heavyweight Boxing Title Match against Jake Kilrean 1889
    5. Defeated Evan Lewis to retain his Greco-Roman Championship and retired having never lost the title 1890
