Ernst Roeber

Era - Pioneer (1880s/1890s)

German born and American made, Ernst(or Ernest, depending on the source) Roeber was an exceptional Greco-Roman wrestler who became the best wrestler in the world in his time. Roeber was not seen as an overly dynamic competitor, but steadfastly stuck to his style and sportsmanship, defeating the Original Strangler, Evan Lewis in a match between the Greco-Roman and Catch as Catch Can champions. Roeber had fought well before that against the great William Muldoon in an exhibition, which set him up for greater matches.

Perhaps the most famous match of Roeber's career was that against Youssuf Ishamelo, the Terrible Turk. Having trained and toured with Boxing champion, Bob Fitzsimmons, Roeber arrived with Fitzsimmons in his corner on March 26 of 1898, in an infamous bout that resulted in Roeber being ejected from the ring by a rampaging Ishamelo, unable to continue afterwards. The two would meet again, with Ishamelo again disqualified for roughousing tactics, a perfect mirror of Roeber's clean style.
