Fred Kohler (wrestling promoter)

Kohler promoted matches in Chicago, Illinois for over thirty years and was responsible for such talents as Verne Gagne and promoter Jim Barnett. He was also president of the National Wrestling Alliance from 1961 to 1962.
== Early life ==
Kohler was born in Chicago on January 6, 1903 along with his twin sister Mildred to German immigrants Fritz and Katie Koch. Fritz owned Koch's Hall, a social club on Chicago's North Side. Young Fred was exposed to wrestling at Koch's Hall and is said to have promoted his earliest matches there. After graduating from Lane Tech high school, where he was captain of the school football team, he worked for a time at the local YMCA and as a die machinist. He kept the machinist job until well after he was established as a promoter.
Kohler had wrestled as a young man (during which time he was given the pseudonym Fred Kohler by an Iowa promoter, possibly after an actor of the same name. He ran in opposition to local promoters Joe Coffey and Ed White, using wrestlers supplied by Billy Sandow and Al Haft. Thanks in part to a successful card staged at Chicago Stadium in 1936 in which Ali Baba met Everette Marshall for a world heavyweight championship, Kohler became the main promoter in Chicago. When Coffey died in 1941, and White retired the next year, Kohler was ruler of all Chicago wrestling.
