Genau. Ein Handicap Match muss ja kein Tag Team Match sein, es kann auch andere Handicaps geben.
Hier ist noch was aus dem Kansas City Journal, wo über das Booking geschimpft wird.

SPORT DOPE
by E. W. Cochrane
Oh, you wrestling trust, answer this. Why did Frank Gotch allow Zbyszko to stay one hour in a handicap match in Buffalo some time ago without winning a fall when, as he proved last night, he could have won the match in straight falls in about a half an hour?
The wrestling trust is money mad.
That's the answer. The innocent public had to stand for two matches instead of one and was fooled into thinking the big cheese from Poland was a wrestler. In the good old days when men fought for glory and were not money mad, the best man won. Today men wrestle for money and not glory. It is a hard thing to tell which is the better man no matter who wins. Gotch says he is going to quit after beating Zbyszko. If he intends to wrestle any more handicap and finish bouts as he had with Zbyszko everyone will be better satisfied if he does quit.
What fall guys the wrestling trust is making out of wrestling fans. Think of the poor fan who goes to one of their frame ups and stays throught, sees an inferior man beat a good one because the good one is forced to lay down and thinks the match is on the level. If ever a sport was bad, the wrestling game is bad in this country. Still you can not convince the public that it is being buncoed.
