Bela Lugosi: Wrestling Manager!

[Joe Neglia]

Here's a Halloween trivia treat: Not too long before Lou Thesz passed, he was asked on his official message board by a fan regarding the story Bela Lugosi had once managed him for a match as part of a publicity stunt. Lou responded

It is true...Bela was my second in the ring, not tag team partner. Szabo was behind the apprearance, but I knew bela and liked him.

I just love the fact that during the time when wrestling was anti-internet and didn't trust it that Lou Thez had his own forum that he used!
