Gotch, Hackenshmidt and Ad Santel

[debraco]

Lou Thesz always maintained that Santel told him he tore up Hacks knee for 5k. Karl Gotch said this was bullshit because Santel wasn't even around. It's clear there was a lot of bullshit but it was all from Karl. Ad was still going by his birth name of Adolph Enrst at that time. He was Hacks chief trainer until just before the Gotch match, with Dr Roller assuming the role.
