	Wrestling Perspective: The Founding Father
		Toots was born Joseph Raymond Mondt on a farm in Iowa in 1886.
		Mondt was the youngest wrestler in the Burns camp, and the nickname "Toots" had to do either with his small feet or his relative youth and baby face, depending which story you care to believe.
		Toots quickly saw that salad days were upon him once again, but if the green was to continue to be a part of that salad, he would need a box office draw in the style of Londos.

		In fact, it is said that Mondt single-handily invented 90% of the finishes and 60% of the finishing holds; and in the process, he also created the concept of the “no contest,” which included such innovations as time-limit draws and double count-outs.
		The threesome of Lewis, Sandow, and Mondt (which was later christened as “The Gold Dust Trio” in Marcus Griffin’s classic 1937 pro wrestling manuscript, Fall Guys: The Barnums of the Bounce) looked to promote wrestling’s new style on a much greater scale, and they soon took over the bookings of their own matches.
		As feared “hookers,” both Toots Mondt and John Pesek would then serve as the circuit’s “coppers” who would rough up anyone who ever betrayed the pre-arranged plan, yet such events were few and far between as the wrestlers now made far more money under the Trio than they ever had under the previous wrestling style.
