In November 1923, St. O xornalista do Louis Star-Times, Billy Murphy, entrevistou a St. O promotor de loita libre Louis John Contos. Murphy propuxo a Contos que a era dos loitadores dominantes como William Muldoon rematara. Murphy falou do recente partido entre “Campión do Mundo” Hardneck Phillips e o competidor Webster O'Malley. Phillips defendeu con éxito o seu campionato lanzando a O'Malley despois 1 hour, 50
E “Estrangulador” Lewis and Joe Stecher conducted one of the greatest rivalries of the early arranged professional wrestling exhibition era. Lewis and Stecher wrestled many times including a five and a half hour draw in 1916. Several of their early matches appeared to be legitimate. Legend also has it that Lewis actually had to beat Stecher in a “shoot match”
En abril 3, 1908, Wrestling Campión Americano Frank Gotch coñeceu World Wrestling Champion George Hackenschmidt ao título mundial en Dexter Parque Pavilion en Chicago, California. Hackenschmidt estaba invicto como profesional, pero fora campión do mundo por uns 7 anos. Gotch era un ano maior, pero considerábao un novo. Os fans e xornalistas que cobren o deporte consideran Gotch
O martes, Marzo 22, 1910, Dr. Benjamin Roller met Stanislaus Zbyszko in a legitimate wrestling match. Professional wrestling would transition from legitimate contest to staged exhibition between 1910 e 1920. Dr. Benjamin Roller graduated from the University of Pennsylvania by playing professional football.

Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, que era 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right. Desafortunadamente, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Con frecuencia atopei que o maior desafío na investigación da loita libre profesional temprana é separar a realidade da ficción. Mesmo cando os loitadores competiron en partidos lexítimos, moitas veces inflaron os resultados, construíron folclore apócrifo arredor das súas vitorias e inventaron contos fantásticos para explicar as súas perdas. A loita profesional xurdiu dos entroidos e mantivo os instintos de promoción desta arte. St.
En xaneiro de 10, 1910, recently arrived Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko took on Charlie “The Kid” Cutler in a best two-out-of-three falls match. Cutler had been a boxer in a troupe run by John L. Sullivan before transitioning to wrestling. While Cutler was extremely tough, Stanislaus Zbyszko had been wrestling since his youth. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
En decembro de 16, 1917, Frank Alvin Gotch lost a three week battle with uremic poisoning. Doctors attempted to keep his kidneys going through an operation in Chicago but it provided only temporary relief. Gotch intended to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas to try and restore his health. The operation ended this hope. Gotch spent the last couple weeks only able
Rarely does one fundamentally alter their profession but Stanislaus Zbyszko did just that on April 15, 1925 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Zbyszko defeated Wayne Munn in one of the last shoot (not staged) professional wrestling matches in the United States. It was a shoot or legitimate match because Zbyszko double crossed the “Goldust Trio” wrestling promotion and beat Munn for the
I decided to start 2020 by using two examples from professional wrestling to discuss why you would change a historical account you wrote in the past. In writing history, you are limited by the available sources on the subject matter. Primary sources like diaries, official records and autobiographies are very valuable. Other sources like newspapers are good as well but
