Question

Abraham lincoln was also an accomplished wrestler, and was honored later by the 'national wrestling hall of fame'. True

Answer 1

True...In an article by National Wrestling Hall of Fame director Bob Dellinger, Lincoln is reported to have been a fierce competitor in an anything-goes frontier style of wrestling called catch-as-catch-can, where brute strength was a great help in throwing competitors off their feet.
It is sometimes likened more to hand-to-hand combat than to grappling.
Lincoln was the wrestling champion of his county in 1830, at the age of 21. A well built young man of 6’ 4”, his height and strength were an advantage but also made him a target for any challenger wanting to show off or make a name for himself.

Answer 2

Yes, Abraham Lincoln was a skilled wrestler who eventually received recognition from the 'national wrestling hall of fame.'

As a wrestler, Abraham Lincoln:

• Although Abraham Lincoln, The Great Emancipator, wasn't quite WWE material
• He was a skilled wrestler as a young man thanks to his lengthy limbs.
• For more than a decade of his boyhood, he competed in wrestling matches and rarely lost.
• The National Wrestling Hall of Fame honoured his accomplishments by inducting him as a "Outstanding American" in the sport in 1992.
• In almost 300 matches, he was only defeated once.
