Op April 3, 1908, Amerikaanse Wrestling Kampioen Frank Gotch ontmoet World Wrestling Kampioen George Hackenschmidt vir die Wêreldbeker-titel by Dexter Park Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. Hackenschmidt was undefeated as a professional but had been World Champion for approximately 7 jaar. Gotch was 'n jaar ouer, maar word as 'n opkoms beskou. Aanhangers en verslaggewers wat die sport dek, het Gotch beskou
Op Dinsdag, Maart 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 en 1920. Dr. Benjamin Roller graduated from the University of Pennsylvania by playing professional football. Roller accepted an academic appointment in physiology where he assisted in the writing of a textbook. Dr.
Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, wat 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. Ongelukkig, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Ek het gereeld gevind dat die grootste uitdaging om vroeë professionele stoei te ondersoek, die feit van fiksie skei. Selfs toe die stoeiers in wettige wedstryde meeding, dit het dikwels die uitkomste opgeblaas, het apokriewe folklore opgebou rondom hul oorwinnings en spookagtige verhale uitgeoefen om hul verliese te verklaar. Professionele stoei spruit uit die karnavalle en behou die promosie-instinkte van hierdie kuns. St.
Januarie 10, 1910, onlangs aangekom Pools stoeier Stanislaus Zbyszko het op Charlie “Die Kid” Cutler in 'n twee beste-uit-drie-en-val wedstryd. Cutler was 'n bokser in 'n geselskap wat deur John L. Sullivan voor die oorgang na stoei. Terwyl Cutler was uiters moeilike, Stanislaus Zbyszko het geworstel sedert sy jeug. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
Op Desember 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” stoei bevordering en klop Munn vir die
Ek het besluit om te begin 2020 deur twee voorbeelde van professionele stoei te gebruik om te bespreek waarom jy 'n historiese rekening wat jy in die verlede geskryf het, sal verander. In die skryf van geskiedenis, jy word beperk deur die beskikbare bronne oor die onderwerp. Primêre bronne soos dagboeke, amptelike rekords en outobiografieë is baie waardevol. Ander bronne soos koerante is ook goed, maar
On the same day Joe Stecher wrestled Stanislaus Zbyszko for the recognized version of the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in St. Louis, En “Worger” Lewis challenged “Big” Wayne Munn for his disputed Michigan-Illinois World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Lewis dropped the title to Munn in February 1925. In April 1925, Zbyszko defeated Munn in a famous double-cross. The match between Lewis and
Op April 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Worger” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men. They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” wedstryde. Lewis in fact dropped his American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship to Wladek Zbyszko in 1917. In the early 1920s, Lewis would drop his World Heavyweight Wrestling
