The Great Munney Ring (article)
Introduction
In the article The Great Munney Ring, Howard criticizes the staged and promotional side of professional wrestling, focusing particularly on Wayne Munn’s unlikely championship victory over Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Munn’s subsequent move into vaudeville. Howard contrasts this with boxer Jack Dempsey, whom he praises for refusing to participate in fixed contests. The piece appeared in Howard’s self-published The Right Hook #1 (March/April 1925).
