Fred Beell was a strong, талантлив професионален борец в началото на 20-ти век. Beell gave all the best wrestlers of the day tough contests but his lack of size often hampered his ability with world class wrestlers. Макар и мощно построен, Beell was generously listed at 5’06”. At his heaviest, Beell never exceeded 170 паунда. While possessing a bodybuilder’s
When William Muldoon retired from professional wrestling in 1889, he intended for his protege, Ernst Roeber, to become the new World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion. Since Muldoon always defended his championship in the Greco-Roman wrestling style, his choice made sense. Roeber was arguably the best Greco-Roman wrestler in America at the time. Обаче, the wrestling fans and journalist, covering the sport,
Уилард “Диви Бил” Лонгсън е роден в Солт Лейк Сити, Юта, on June 8, 1906 но прекарва по-голямата част от зрелия си живот в Св. Louis, Мисури. След началото на кариерата си като професионален борец през 1931, Лонгсън се озова да работи за Том Пакс в Сейнт. Louis.

В 1902, future World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Marvin Hart was a rising contender. Fighting primarily out of his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, Hart was matched against Kid Carter at the Southern Athletic Club on May 2, 1902. При 17-1, Hart knew another victory would go a long way in securing a heavyweight title fight. The Brooklyn-born Kid Carter intended to
In a recent post, I wrote about Charles Green’s unsuccessful attempt to defeat Evan “<Педя bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "1799" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" червено = "255" зелен = "255" синьо = "255" алфа = "” Lewis in 1889. Година по-късно, Green had greater success with another American wrestling legend, Martin “Farmer” Burns. The soon-to-be 29-year-old Burns was an excellent wrestler but wasn’t yet on the level of Evan Lewis. Обаче, he would have to be in the top 10
The Gold Dust Trio’s dominance of professional wrestling in the early to mid-1920s bred lots of resentment with other wrestlers and promoters. This professional jealousy led to a famous double-cross in 1925. From this time on, the world title was disputed as Joe Stecher held one version, while Ed “<Педя bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "1799" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" червено = "255" зелен = "255" синьо = "255" алфа = "” Lewis held the other version. Due to the real resentment
The following excerpt is from my new book Double Crossing the Gold Dust Trio, which will be out this summer. During the summer (of 1921), the Zbyszko brothers received word that their mother was gravely ill. Making quick preparation, they let Curley and the other promoters know they would be leaving as soon as they could arrange passage on a
Чарлз Грийн, квалифициран английски борец на хващане като хващане, пътува до Съединените щати в края на 1880 г., за да се бори с най-добрите американски борци. Грийн получи своята възможност през юли 21, 1889, когато се бори с американския шампион в тежка категория Catch-as-Catch-Can Evan Lewis. Да се подготвя за този мач, Грийн взе битка с хендикап с калфа борец Берт Шелър в края на юни. Шелер е роден
Mike “Twin” Sullivan claimed the Welterweight World Boxing Championship, when he decisioned Honey Mellody in April 1907. Possessing both heavy hands and better than normal boxing skills, Sullivan claimed victories over the great Joe Gans and future Welterweight World Boxing Champion Harry Lewis during his career. Lewis won the welterweight title, when Sullivan could no longer make the 147 pound
Независимо дали ставаше въпрос за престъпление или опит за организиране на легитимен конкурс, Опитът на Paul Bowser да осигури мач между Joe Stecher и Joe Malcewicz почти доведе до бунт през март 11, 1926. Събитията от предходната година всъщност задействаха този провал. От края на 1922, триото Gold Dust на Ed “<Педя bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "1799" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" червено = "255" зелен = "255" синьо = "255" алфа = "” Фундаментален болт, негов
