In a surprise victory, Zbyszko defeated Lewis to claim the title. Unfortunately for Wladek Zbyszko, he would only have a cup of coffee with the belt. A month or two later, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher.

This match was most likely a “work” meaning the outcome was prearranged. Starting with the New York Wrestling Tournament in 1915, legitimate matches or “shoots” became mostly a thing of the past. Traditional competitive wrestling was boring the audience, who started staying away from the matches. The 1915 tournament moved the sport towards spectacle in an attempt to draw back the fans.

Lou Thesz, Verne Gagne и Gene LeBell всички казаха, че Люис не може да бъде победен, ако не го оставя за по-нататъшно история линия. Lewis was part of the promotional “Goldust Trio” with Joseph “Toots” Mondt and Billy Sandow.

Lewis would drop the belt occasionally to build anticipation for rematches and make Lewis look beatable. They never worried about dropping the belt because the trio knew Lewis could win it back anytime he felt like it.

В 1920, Joe Stecher did not want to lose the belt, така Lewis просто го победи за недвижими и взе титлата. Lewis then dropped the belt to an upcoming wrestling star, or in Stanislaus Zbyszko’s case, an old but capable lion. Wladek’s older brother was the better wrestler of the Zbyszko brothers.

Люис се бореше в продължение 6,000 съвпада губи само 20 or so matches, which he lost on purpose. Ring historians and most professional wrestlers consider him to be the greatest actual wrestler in professional wrestling history although a handful will say Frank Gotch was better.

Wladek Zbyszko не беше толкова известен като големия си брат Станислав, who was twelve years older than Wladek. Wladek Zbyszko е роден Владислав Cyganiewicz ноември 20, 1891 в Полша.

Wladek Zbyszko последван по-големия си брат в Америка, където той твърди, версия на световната титла в 1917. Wladek would briefly hold the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship two more times in 1918 и 1919. Докато Wladek е световен шампион в собствената си прав, той никога не достигнали славата на по-голям брат Станислав.

Докато Wladek беше на дванадесет години по-млад, той само надживяла брат му с една година. Wladek Zbyszko почина през юни 10, 1968 в 76 години.
