Narrative

I knew this before going over there, but forgot to tell you, I actually just never thought about it---Grandpa Mike was a professional wrestler under the name the Masked Marauder. My dad told me that years ago. Also, professional wrestling back then was basically held at town carnivals etc and were referred to as contests not exhibitions like today. Victory was determined by best 2 out of three "Falls". One fall was wrestled in "catch as catch" style, one as Roman-Greco and the third (if needed) was determined by a toss of the coin.

Otto did verify this and said that he was a title holder. I wish I would have asked which division, class or whatever. I do not know how they classified this stuff back then. I imagine it was heavyweight, as he was a very large man and very tall- Otto showed me pictures and he also showed me pictures of Anna, Johann and Elizabeth. It is pretty freaky because I look a lot like Elizabeth.
