LMAO...I forgot all about this (Abe Lincoln as the first NWA world Champion)

[EliteLifts]

Okay, so I was very young at the time and quite impressionable, but I've been laughing my ass of for the last three minutes thinking about how I once believed Abe Lincoln was the first NWA world champion. I can't remmeber how this started either but I used to argue with the kids at my school that Abe Lincoln never really gets enough credit for being one of the very first pro wrestlers. They'd be like "okay dude, what was his name, "honest" Abe?"

Oh to be young and guliable again.

New information has shown that the NWA's roots far surpassed that. All the way to the early 19th Century. Where the first Organizaed Wrestling Organization existed in Lousiana. Abraham Lincoln the 16th President of the United States was one of the earliest champions
