Ar Meitheamh 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 Márta 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
Tá an post seo á scríobh agam chun post níos luaithe a cheartú a scríobh mé faoi chrosa dúbailte i gcogaíocht ghairmiúil. Shíl mé ar dtús gur tháinig deireadh le crosa dúbailte tar éis do Stanislaus Zybszko an Triúr Dust Óir a thrasnú faoi dhó. Zbyszko, tar éis aontú cailliúint do Munn, bhuaigh sé air i gcomórtas dlisteanach do Chraobh Domhanda Wrestling Trom-mheáchain. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, a thit an
Camchuairt Stanislaus Zbyszko na Stáit Aontaithe i 1910 mar ullmhúchán do chluiche teidil le Frank Gotch, Seaimpín Trom-mheáchain an Domhain, níos déanaí sa bhliain. Thug a chamchuairt é go St. Louis ar Bealtaine 29, 1910. Bhí Zbyszko sceidealaithe chun bualadh le grappler éadrom trom-mheáchain Charley Olson a bhfuil ardmheas air. Bhí Olson ina wrestler oilte, a thraenáil le 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 Deireadh Fómhair 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. In 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
Scríobh mé an post seo mar gheall ar chomhrá a raibh mé clibáilte isteach ar Twitter faoi na 1911 athmheaitseáil idir Frank Gotch agus Georg Hackenschmidt don Chraobhchomórtas Domhanda Trom-mheáchain Wrestling. Jim Cornette, Cé is moite de bheith ar cheann de na bainisteoirí is fearr sa wrestling gairmiúil, is staraí pro wrestling iomráiteach é freisin, labhair faoin gcros dúbailte sa dara cluiche Gotch-Hack
Nuair a “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, ar a dtugtar “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 minutes. Bhuaigh Beell an
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. De réir 1904 nó 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,
