Synopsis
"Best of the Best" Selection - Pro Wrestling Torch
Curated into the New American History project of the University of Richmond
Featured in Türkiye Today
The invasion of the U.S. pro wrestling scene by Turkish wrestling stars between 1898 and 1901 rocked the foundations of a developing entertainment industry. In that short span of time, Yousouf Ismail, Adali Halil, Kara Osman, and Nouroulah Hassan forced American sportswriters, wrestling fans, wrestlers, and even public officials to grapple with uncomfortable truths about the standing of American athletes in the world, and even the battle-readiness of American soldiers for global combat.
Capturing the core of the "Turkish Invasion" from its understated start to its unsettling finish, Only Built for Turkish Links clarifies the historical record of what the Turkish invaders accomplished on American mats, how their intrusion reshaped the essence of professional wrestling, and how their larger-than-life statures and personas left indelible marks on professional wrestling that still carry staggering weight in the modern era.
