Brown started back and Thesz grabed[sic] his leg.. The they started some fists tossing to the delight of the front row customers. Referee Dick Patton counted both men out. And after a 10 minute rest they returned to finish the 90 minute time limit without a fall." So, the answer is 'yes'. The 23 Dec Evansville Courier reported pretty much the same thing, that Patton counted both out because they were preventing each other from re-entering the ring. As it would have been the first fall, they just continued with the second fall. Not sure how that would have worked, as neither would have received credit for the first fall.

Some promoters, however (Paul Boesch in Houston did this quite a few times) sometimes booked a ddq or dco in the first fall, splitting the next two falls, and therefore the match ended in a draw. Other promoters would give a fall to each competitor for a dco or ddq (Amarillo did this), meaning that the next fall would be the decider. This is an early example of Thesz and his various inventive ways of finishing a match without a winner. In the 1950s and 60s he was fond of doing a finish where he and his opponent would clash heads with Thesz in the ring and his opponent on the apron. The opponent would fall to the ground and be counted out, while Thesz would counted down for ten in the ring for a knockout-countout tie. It was very rare for anyone else to use that finish, but Thesz used it quite often. People talk about him as the legendary "hooker," but he was a master of using the framework of professional wrestling to tell great stories in the ring. A great worker in every sense of the word.

I love how any structure or rules that are established for wrestling matches just become starting points for creative finishes. 2/3 falls to ensure a winner, you say? Sure we can have a 3-fall draw! No time-limit, there MUST be a winner? Ooh, the city has a curfew.

These matches took place at the Civic Auditorium, and were promoted by Virgil Hamlin and Ted Thye.Any idea why Thesz wrestled twice on 7/11/45 in Portland and three times on 7/31/45 in Tacoma? The 7/11 Portland date is actually missing a match. Thesz defeated Ted Christy in an opening match. Then defeated Fritz Schnabel in the semi-final before going on to beat Seelie Samara in the finals of the tournament. 7/31 is also a tournament.

This is not correct. 08/25/50 St. Louis, MO Lou Thesz beat Wladek Kowalski Kowalski was in Houston facing George Bollas on the 25th. I don't know where Thesz was from 8/22-8/29. But he did not face Kowalski at all in August 1950. ----------------------------------------------------------- The main event in St Louis on 8/25/50 was Whipper Billy Watson vs Al Lovelock Jack Britton vs. Red Vagnone - Time Limit Draw (20:00) Tommy O'Toole defeats Finice Hall (7:52) Sky Low Low defeats Pee Wee James (12:40) Great Balbo defeats Al Williams by DQ (10:18) Whipper Watson defeats Al Lovelock (25:34) Last edited on Mon Jan 4th, 2021 11:55 pm by paulsosn |

12/18/36 Alton, IL Louis Thesz beat Roland Kirchmeyer This is not correct. According to the 12/19/36 issue of the Alton Evening Telegraph, Thesz defeated Jack Woodson. "Thesz played with Woodson for about 5 minutes, then pinned him with a slam and a smother"
