In a blog post last month, I wrote about the difficulty promoters had in staging the Joe Stecher vs Jess Westergaard match. Originally scheduled for Omaha, Nebraska, the Omaha Chief of Police and Police Commissioner were concerned about the match being prearranged or a “work”. They didn’t want gamblers being taken in by the exhibition. To prevent this occurrence, they

Frank Gotch, the farm boy from Humboldt, Ајова, would defeat George Hackenschmidt for the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in 1908. This victory and his subsequent defeat of “Hack” во 1911 rematch cemented Gotch’s place as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Gotch was a very talented wrestler but he was not the undefeated wunderkind of legend. Gotch

Од јануари 10, 1912, Stanislaus Zbyszko continued his campaign for another title shot with World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch. To press his claim, he secured a match with Gotch training partner and protegé, Jake Westergard. Westergard claimed a questionable win over his mentor Gotch, who probably dropped the match to Westergard in a prearranged match. Збишко беше вешт човек

Началникот на полицијата во Омаха Х.В. Дан создаде наслови во март 28, 1915, кога издал наредба за забрана на рекламираниот професионален натпревар во борење меѓу Џо Стечер и Џес Вестергард.

На декември 13, 1920, И “Strangler” Луис го победи Џо Стечер за неговиот Светски шампионат во борење во тешка категорија. Professional wrestling was a staged exhibition by 1920. Сепак, such was the strong feelings between the men that the match may have been a “shoot” or legitimate match in which Lewis took the belt. Whether the outcome of the match was real, the feud

Од јануари 11, 1911, world heavyweight wrestling championship contender Stanislaus Zbysko faced the challenge of the powerful but less talented Peter “Giant” Nogert. Nogert was a South African wrestler, who came to the United States for a few years in the early 1910s. Due to a strong international reputation, a few American wrestlers had even claimed to be Nogert before

In November 1923, St. Репортерот на Луис Стар-Тајмс, Били Марфи го интервјуираше Св. Промотор на борење Луис, Џон Контос. Марфи му предложи на Контос дека ерата на доминантните борачи како Вилијам Мулдун е завршена. Марфи зборуваше за неодамнешниот натпревар помеѓу “Светски шампион” Харднек Филипс и претендентот за играта Вебстер О’Мали. Филипс успешно ја одбрани шампионската титула со фрлање на О’Мали по него 1 hour, 50

И “Strangler” 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”

Stanislaus Zbyszko toured the United States in 1910 in preparation for a title match with World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch later in the year. His tour brought him to St. Louis on May 29, 1910. Zbyszko was scheduled to meet highly regarded light heavyweight grappler Charley Olson.
