Al juny 2, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament in New York City entered its second week of competition. Some of the tournaments big names were wrestling on this night. Alex Aberg, George Lurich and Wladek Zbyszko would all compete. It was Zbyszko who made the biggest impression. The first match involved two lesser talents, Pierre Le Colosse and Wilhelm Berner.
Al març de 22, 1919, I “Estrangulador” Lewis met Wladek Zbyszko for the vacant World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. In a surprise victory, Zbyszko defeated Lewis to claim the title. Unfortunately for Wladek Zbyszko, he would only have a cup of coffee with the belt. A month or two later, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Escric aquesta publicació per corregir una publicació anterior que vaig escriure sobre els dobles creus a la lluita professional. Inicialment vaig pensar que els dobles creuats van acabar després que Stanislaus Zybszko encreués el Gold Dust Trio.. Zbyszko, després d'acceptar perdre amb Munn, el va derrotar en el que es va convertir en un concurs legítim per al Campionat Mundial de Lluita Pes Pesat. I “Estrangulador” Lewis, qui va deixar caure el
Stanislaus Zbyszko gira pels Estats Units a 1910 en preparació per a un combat pel títol amb el món dels pesats lluita de l'campió Frank Gotch a finals d'any. El seu viatge el va dur a St. Louis al maig 29, 1910. Zbyszko estava programat per reunir-se amb el reconegut grappler de pes lleuger Charley Olson. Olson era un lluitador hàbil, que es va entrenar amb St. Louis lluitador George
On February 26. 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko beat Alex Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in Boston, Massachusetts. Zbyszko came to the United States in 1909 to campaign for Frank Gotch’s World Catch-as-Catch Can Championship. Wrestling insiders considered Gotch’s title the World Championship. Zbyszko could not beat Gotch in 1910. Before they had a rematch, Frank Gotch retired in
A l'octubre 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. En 1914, Stanislaus Zbyszko defeated Aberg for the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Stanislaus Zbyszko returned to Europe. It is doubtful Wladek Zbyszko could make a claim to his brother’s championship. Promoter Sam Rachmann probably created this
Vaig escriure aquesta publicació a causa d'una conversa en què em van etiquetar a Twitter sobre 1911 represa entre Frank Gotch i Georg Hackenschmidt pel Campionat Mundial de Lluita Pes Pesat. Jim Cornette, que a més de ser un dels millors gestors de la lluita lliure professional també és un destacat historiador de la lluita lliure professional., va parlar de la doble creu en el segon partit de Gotch-Hack
When “El lleó rus” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, conegut com “Cop de destral” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidt won the world title in Greco-Roman
Fred Beell developed a reputation in the early 20th Century as a powerful and dangerous wrestler. His reputation was not built by his 1903 campaign. Beell suffered as many high-profile defeats as victories. Beell started well in April 1903, when he defeated St. Paul AAU Wrestling Champion James McAuley. McAuley won the first fall in 22 acta. Beell won the
Frank Gotch holds the title of America’s greatest legitimate professional wrestler. Gotch competed in mostly legitimate contests with a few pre-arranged or “worked” matches thrown in the mix. Per 1904 o 1905, no one could really beat Gotch unless he allowed it. In the early years of his career, Gotch was not so dominant. He dropped matches to his mentor,
