ALL STAR Specially Picked Matches (Wrestling News; Apr 4, 1932) Our patrons will probably wonder why Jim Londos is not on this card against Shikat. All we can say is that we made every effort to sign Londos for a Shikat match for this date on urgent demand of all our patrons. We did not succeed. We are not anxious to criticize Londos, but we must admit that he was the unwilling party to enter into a match with Shikat, while on the other hand, Shikat cheerfully consented and signed the articles. When we did not succeed in signing Londos with Shikat, we made every effort to sign him with McCready. Again he was not ready for this match at this time. So, we have signed the two challengers whom Londos refused to meet, and I am sure every wrestling fan will agree with me that a Shikat-McCready match should result in the greatest wrestling encounter staged here in many moons. -- Jack Curley.

"Along the Sport Byways" (Regina Leader-Post - Apr 12, 1935) By: Dave Dryburgh "Jack Forsgren, well-known Vancouver wrestler, has doped out Earl McCready's weakness in the wrestling ring. He says: 'Earl McCready will never get anywhere in wrestling until he starts roughing things up. I don't care if you quote me on this or not but you can't make a name for yourself in wrestling unless you bump the boys around now and then.' That opinion is pretty general. Earl is not enough or a showman for the modern-day rasslin acts, and too much of a wrestler."

Earl McCready Has Attracted Half-a-Million New Zealanders (Aug 26, 1948) By Wallie Ingram Making his eighth visit to New Zealand as a professional wrestler, popular Earl McCready left America on Friday and wrestled in Auckland on Monday night. Such is the speed of modern transportation. McCready first wrestled in New Zealand in 1935, his opening match being against Al Periera. Since that night, he has contested more than 300 matches in New Zealand and has drawn approximately half-a-million spectators. This record is something that speaks well for his ability to please the people who pay their shillings to see good wrestling.

Wrestler McCready a hero, a winner
(Evening Post; Jan 27, 1984)
by: Lloyd Jones

Earl McCready and the post-war baby boom are strangers to each other, but to older New Zealanders who remember when wrestling was a big deal, so was the name McCready. Perhaps no other overseas athlete has endeared himself to the New Zealand public more than McCready, who was born in Saskatchewan, 240km from Ottawa, Canada. In the eleven seasons McCready traveled here, between 1936-52, the Canadian filled Carlaw Park to capacity, town halls in all the main centres, and earned a kind of hero worship usually reserved for All Blacks of that era. McCready's death, at 75, in Washington State last month almost went unnoticed.

Local wrestling stalwart Steve Rickard received a letter in early December from a wrestling contemporary of McCready, Paul Boesch, who wrote: "I'm sure New Zealanders feel the death of Earl McCready." There's no doubt McCready felt a special affinity for New Zealand and much of his wrestling feats were in bouts promoted here.

PROFESSIONAL

At the 1930 Empire Games in Ontario, McCready won the heavyweight title, one month later he turned professional. His first trip to New Zealand was in 1936 and two years later he'd had more than 60 bouts without a loss. Several drew, but none pinned his shoulders to the mat.

"You couldn't compare him with today's wrestlers. He was a winner. He didn't just dump a man, he dumped him six times," recalls one fan.

For those who didn't make it to ringside, it became the thing to sit at home on Monday nights, huddled around a wireless, riveted to the match description of Gordon Hutter, who was to wrestling what Winston McCarthy later was to rugby. The forces of good and evil battled it out. "Dirty" Dick Raines and Strangler Lewis' paralysing headlock were never allowed to prevail for too long against the forces of good, as personified by Lofty Blomfield and his Boston Crab hold. Local wrestling-boxing figure, Bernie Dodds remembers McCready for his "Rocking Chair splits" and the way the Canadian would ride his opponents all about the ring.

YOUNGSTERS

McCready's name headed a long list that included Ed Don George, Sam Leathers, Karem Singh, Kara Pasha, Chief Little Wolf, "Jumping" Joe Savoldi, King Elliot and many others.

Scott Laurenson, amateur wrestling's representative on the New Zealand Commonwealth-Olympic committee, remembers how the Empire champion would take time out to coach youngsters.

"In my young days at the Raynor-Greeks' Kilbirnie gym, Earl would come and coach us. He was an excellent coach. His style and knowledge, and they way he helped the young ones was amazing," said Mr. Laurenson.

McCready wrestled into his 50s. At the end of the 1948 season he had 297 bouts for 243 wins, nine losses, and one bout was a no decision. He had recorded 314 falls, for 118 against. His toughest season was in 1950 when, for the first time in 10 years, he lost three bouts.

Retired from the ring, he worked as a masseur in Oregon (USA). To older fans he will be remembered for his apparent humility and quality of wrestling he knew as an art.

The last word belongs to McCready on what he knew best, as quoted from a 1936 Evening Post article:

"When you're in the ring with an opponent, you feel the other man's strength is being sapped. Then comes a moment when you feel certain he is done, momentarily. And when that certainty comes to me, I tear in with everything I've got. ... Every wrestler's strength ebbs and flows, and the art is to catch the other fellow on his ebb, but not to let him catch you on yours."
