About Me |
|
| I was born on April 27, 1878 on a farm in Humboldt, Iowa. I became interested in the art of wrestling at an early age. I was introduced to former American champion Dan McLeod, who introduced me to Martin "Farmer" Burns. While I was trained under Farmer Burns, I wrestled in Alaska and Iowa. I was known as Frank Kennedy and was the champion of Klondike. I also tried boxing but didn't do too well. I returned to Iowa to face Tom Jenkins, and won the American Heavyweight title. After that achievement, I went after "The Russian Lion" George Hackenschimdt, who was the World Heavyweight champion at that time. I wrestled for that belt in Chicago, in front of 40,000 rabid fans. After 2 hours of mat wrestling, I beat Hackenshcimdt to become the 2nd World Heavyweight Champion. I became undefeated, and I even beat Hackenschimdt a 2nd time. I retired and died at age 39. I currently reside in Wrestling Heaven as the Keeper of the Art.
