Wayne "Big" Munn wins the linear (Gotch-Hackenschmidt) World championship from Ed Strangler Lewis in Kansas City, MO. This is the beginning of a promotional war with Lewis claiming to have been fouled when thrown over the top rope by Munn. The whole war was a booking angle to reunify the two titles in a big money match scheduled for May.
