Prior to the creation of the territorial system in 1948, pro wrestling promoters fought with each other to control the world championship. Promoting the world champion led to bigger gates, so most promoters wanted to control the championship. Nan ane 1930 yo, promoters would enter into agreements with each other but they were often fleeting. When one promoter got offended, thought
Nan 1899, Martin “Kiltivatè” Burns t ap fè tranzisyon nan wòl wrèstle a tan pasyèl ak antrenè aplentan. Youn nan elèv ki pi popilè li yo ta dwe Frank Gotch, ki Burns bat yon semèn apre match sa a. Burns te 38 ane-laj e li te pèdi chanpyona lit Ameriken Heavyweight li de zan anvan. Burns melanje tou de wòl yo nan yon swa Desanm trè okipe nan
Ki moun ki pi gwo wrèstle pwofesyonèl lejitim pou lite nan Etazini? How do you determine it when wrestlers “te travay” or cooperated with each other in matches since the sports emergence in the 1860s? . I examined the records and stories around the American, British, Polish, and Turkish wrestlers, who wrestled in the United States between 1870 ak 1915
William Hayes Shaw, ki te lite kòm Pat O'Shocker nan pi fò nan karyè lit li, jwenn tèt li nan dokiman Pwen Enpòtan an nan 1933. O'Shocker pa t' ap chèche pou sa a sòt de t'ap nonmen non menm si. Jounal yo te pote yon istwa sou fason pwomotè lit yo te eseye sèvi ak O'Shocker nan yon doub-kwa ki te planifye.. Joseph “Toots” Mondt te rezerve wrèstle soti nan New York epi li te aliyen ak
Nan 1933, about 10 ane nan karyè lit li, Jim Browning ta genyen tit mondyal la. Starting his career in Kansas and his home state of Missouri, Browning ta dwe kite teren sa yo abitye, si li te gen entansyon rive nan pwent pi wo a nan lit pwofesyonèl. Paske chanpyon mondyal yo te oblije fè yon vwayaj nasyonal, e souvan entènasyonalman, the world title was
I’ve written in the past that Fall Guys: The Barnums of Bounce by Marcus Griffin is a problematic source. While Griffin has insider knowledge due to his time in the Buffalo promotional office in the 1930s, he wrote the book for the purpose of revenge against the promoters who fired him. The book contains factual information mixed in with interesting
James Hiram McLaughlin kenbe distenksyon pou yo te premye wrèstè pwofesyonèl Ameriken an. Pandan ke moun te lite pwofesyonèl anvan McLaughlin, li te premye moun ki te genyen yon k ap viv pwofesyonèl nan lit. McLaughlin te kòmanse lit pwofesyonèl nan 1860 nan 16 ane laj men Lagè Sivil la te entèwonp karyè li pou kèk ane. McLaughlin te kòmanse lit ankò nan 1866. Pa 1877,
Sou Jiye 2, 1921 in Jersey City, New Jersey, reigning World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Jack Dempsey met light heavyweight boxing king Georges Carpentier. Boxing fans flocked to event resulting in the first million dollar gate in boxing history. The match would prove the old boxing adage, “A good big man always beats a good little man.” Menmsi Georges Carpentier
In the early 1920s, Christos Theofilou began wrestling as Jim Londos after several years as the gimmicky “Wrestling Plasterer”. Londos probably didn’t realize that the name change would be the first step into him becoming the biggest box office attraction in 1930s professional wrestling. The second step was his emergence as a main event wrestler in St. Louis. Born in
