...wrestler, known as "Strangler Lewis," a Wisconsin farm boy who started throwing his beef around the ring at the age of 14 when he weighed 200 lbs., grew into a 270-lb. behemoth and, with fearsome mien and paralyzing headlock, crunched foe after foe in the days before the "sport" abandoned all pretense of honesty, losing but 33 of his 6,200 matches in a 44-year career-which made him one of the highest paid athletes, with earnings of more than $4,000,000; of complications following a stroke; in Muskogee, Okla...
