Lou Thesz (born April 24, 1916 in Banat , Michigan as Lajos Tiza , † April 28, 2002 in Orlando , Florida ) was an American wrestler . Thesz was the first holder of the combined NWA World Heavyweight title and one of the last true representatives of the Hooker wrestling style. He was the only male wrestler to have appeared actively in the ring in seven different decades and has been accepted in numerous halls of fame to this day. contents. Thesz, who was originally called Lajos Tiza , was born to parents of Hungarian origin who changed his name to Aloysius Martin Thesz when they moved to St. Louis . Since his father was a wrestler, Lou learned a number of handholds as a child. Through his father, he also got into the high school wrestling team without attending it. Finally, at the age of 16, he was discovered by wrestler John Zastro and hired as a sparring partner. Thesz met promoter Joe Sanderson through him and played his first match in early 1933. At that time there were already agreed matches, but the events in the ring were still largely real, so Thesz had to take a lot in the first few years. But he learned a lot from successful men like Ad Santel , Ray Steele and Ed "Strangler" Lewis, who dominated everything at the time . Eventually he was trained to be a hooker by George Tragos . Since in addition to wrestling skills, appearance and physique were right, nothing stood in the way of a great career, and so Thesz was able to secure the Midwest Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Title on December 29, 1937 when he was able to defeat Everett Marshall. This makes him the youngest wrestler ever to secure World Heavyweight Gold. Over the next few years, a few titles were added and when the National Wrestling Alliance was founded in 1947 , Thesz was to compete with his National Wrestling Association title against their champion Orville Brown in a title association match . After Brown was seriously injured in a car accident shortly before, however, he received the title without a fight. After defeating the American Wrestling Association champion Georgeous George in 1950 and winning the World Heavyweight Title ( Los Angeles version) in 1952 , he was considered the first true world wrestling champion since Frank Gotch . Thesz was a hard working champion and defended his title about 250 times a year. This of course took its toll and so he lost the title on March 15, 1956 to "Whipper Billy" Watson . But Thesz was champion again in November. The following year he defended the title in Japan against Rikidozan , which laid the foundation for Japanese wrestling. He also competed in Australia and Singapore . But that year came the end for the united wrestling world championship after he lost the title to Edouard Carpentier on June 14th . He won the title back a month later, but Carpentier continued to be recognized as a champion in Los Angeles , Boston and Omaha . When he finally refused to lose the title to the wrestlingly limited but on the east coast very popular Bruno Sammartino because he did not consider him worthy, he had to lose the title for good. Since he also refused to lose to the "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers , he finally gave the title to former Olympian Dick Hutton . When Rogers refused to defend the title outside of the Capitol Wrestling Federation in 1963 , Thesz once again showed all his hook talent and defeated the "Nature Boy" at the age of 48 against his will. Incidentally, this also laid the foundation stone for World Wrestling Entertainment , because the Capitol Wrestling Federation around Vincent J. McMahon broke away from the NWA and renamed itself the Worldwide Wrestling Federation. In his fourth title reign, Thesz managed to once again integrate the AWA World Championship title (Ohio version) into the NWA title, but the unity of the wrestling world championship title was never achieved again. However, as in his first title reign, Thesz defended the title almost every day against people like Dick the Bruiser , Fritz von Erich , Pat O'Connor (wrestler) or Johnny Valentine . Finally, at the age of 50, he finally lost the title to Gene Kiniski on January 7, 1966 . He got into the ring regularly for another thirteen years and won several regional titles. Lou Thesz played his last match on December 26, 1990, when he faced Masahiro Chono in Tokyo . At this point he was already 74 years old. This makes Lou Thesz the only male wrestler who has been active in the ring in seven decades. In April 2002 Lou Thesz had to undergo bypass surgery. This resulted in complications and Thesz died on April 28, 2002 at the age of 86. His body was cremated and scattered in the Missouri River .
