Ar Fehefin 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.
Ar Fawrth 22, 1919, Ed “Strangler” 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
I’m writing this post to correct an earlier post I wrote about double crosses in professional wrestling. I originally thought double crosses ended after Stanislaus Zybszko double crossed the Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, after agreeing to lose to Munn, defeated him in what turned into a legitimate contest for the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, who dropped the
Bu Stanislaus Zbyszko ar daith o amgylch yr Unol Daleithiau yn 1910 i baratoi ar gyfer gêm deitl gyda Phencampwr Reslo Pwysau Trwm y Byd Frank Gotch yn ddiweddarach yn y flwyddyn. Daeth ei daith ag ef i St. Louis ym mis Mai 29, 1910. Roedd Zbyszko i fod i gwrdd â'r grappler pwysau trwm ysgafn uchel ei barch, Charley Olson. Roedd Olson yn reslwr medrus, a hyfforddodd gyda St. Louis wrestler 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
Ar Hydref 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Yn 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
Ysgrifennais y post hwn oherwydd sgwrs cefais fy ntagio i mewn ar Twitter am y 1911 ail gêm rhwng Frank Gotch a Georg Hackenschmidt ar gyfer Pencampwriaeth Reslo Pwysau Trwm y Byd. Jim Cornette, sydd ar wahân i fod yn un o'r rheolwyr gorau ym myd reslo proffesiynol hefyd yn hanesydd pro reslo nodedig, siarad am y groes dwbl yn yr ail gêm Gotch-Hack
When “Mae'r Rwsia Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, known as “Darnia” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Enillodd Hackenschmidt deitl y byd yn Greco-Rufeinig
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 cofnodion. Enillodd Beell y
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. Erbyn 1904 neu 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,
