Juni 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.
På marts 22, 1919, Ed “Strangler” Lewis mødte Wladek Zbyszko om den ledige World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. I en overraskende sejr, Zbyszko besejrede Lewis at gøre krav på titlen. Desværre for Wladek Zbyszko, han ville kun have en kop kaffe med båndet. En måned eller to senere, Zbyszko mistede titlen til Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Jeg skriver dette indlæg for at rette op på et tidligere indlæg, jeg skrev om dobbeltkryds i professionel brydning. Jeg troede oprindeligt, at dobbeltkryds sluttede efter Stanislaus Zybszko dobbeltkrydsede Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, efter at have accepteret at tabe til Munn, besejrede ham i det, der blev til en legitim konkurrence om World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, der droppede
Stanislaus Zbyszko turnerede i USA 1910 som forberedelse til en titelkamp med World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch senere på året. Hans tur bragte ham til St. Louis i maj 29, 1910. Zbyszko skulle efter planen møde den højt respekterede letsværvægts-grapper Charley Olson. Olson var en dygtig wrestler, der trænede med 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
Oktober 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. I 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
Jeg skrev dette indlæg på grund af en samtale, jeg var tagget i på Twitter om 1911 omkamp mellem Frank Gotch og Georg Hackenschmidt til World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, der udover at være en af de bedste ledere inden for professionel wrestling også er en kendt pro wrestling-historiker, talte om dobbeltkrydset i den anden Gotch-Hack-kamp
When “The Russian Lion” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, kendt som “Hack” 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 minutter. Beell vandt
Frank Gotch holds the title of America’s greatest legitimate professional wrestler. Gotch competed in mostly legitimate contests with a few pre-arranged or “arbejdet” matches thrown in the mix. Ved 1904 eller 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,
