Ed (Strangler) Lewis called wrestlers "the Kings of men" and many believe that Lewis was the "King of Wrestling." Lewis held the Heavyweight Wrestling Championship five times over a period of 25 years, back in the days when there was only one champion, when there was no time limit and matches might last four or five hours. A great powerhouse of a man in his prime, Lewis had a 56-inch chest, wore a 22-inch collar and weighed 250 pounds. Nicely framed and matted signed cut that reads, "Sincerely, Ed Strangler Lewis May 8-39," with an equally unique photograph of the "Strangler" exercising in the gym. 19x25.5" overall, with chipping on bottom corner of frame. Photo has some creasing with a light stain, but still presents very well. PSA LOA.
