The Wilwaukee Journal says this about Ed "Strangler" Lewis: "...Lewis...who with Joe Stecher is the logical claimant of world's wrestling honors now that Frank Gotch has come out with a statement that he is through with the mat game...he [Lewis] will appear in motion pictures, taking the part of Hector in a movie play called The Illiad.... 'If Gotch retires, as he says he will, and Stecher makes good on his statement that he will not wrestle me again, I will lay claim to the heavyweight wrestling title....' "
