William Muldoon (May 25, 1852 – June 3, 1933)[1] was an American Greco-Roman Wrestling champion, a physical culturist, and the first chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission. He once wrestled a match that lasted over seven hours.
Nicknamed "The Solid Man,"[2] Muldoon established himself as champion in Greco-Roman wrestling in the 1880s and over the years gained a remarkable measure of public influence that would continue through his days as a health farm proprietor in Westchester County and his service on NYSAC. Muldoon was a mainstay in New York sports for over 50 years.

^"The Solid Man" nickname was referenced from a popular song of the time, "Muldoon, the Solid Man" by Edward ("Ned") Harrigan. The moniker may have also been a nod to the "Solid Muldoon", a P.T. Barnum exhibit claimed to be the petrified remains of an ancestral missing link between man and ape, later revealed as a hoax.
