Joe Savoldi was an All-American football player for Knute Rockne at Notre Dame.. ~~~He was kicked off the team at one point. I'm not sure why and whether or not he was reinstated.. Joe Savoldi is reputed to be the innovator of the Flying Dropkick -- a move which he used as his finishing hold..
Philip Cmor wrote: I put in the original Joe Savoldi's dropkick was a heel move. It'd probably be more accurate to call it a controversial move at the time. Speaking of controversy, Savoldi scored a controversial win over Jim Londos for one of the world titles in 1933. I've found conflicting info on whether Savoldi shot on Londos and whether or not this was overturned -- Savoldi was suspended in some regions and I think basically the title switch was recognized some places and not in others..
