En xuño 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.
En marzo 22, 1919, E “Estrangulador” Lewis coñeceu Wladek Zbyszko á vaga Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight. Nunha vitoria sorpresa, Zbyszko derrotou Lewis para reivindicar o título. Desafortunadamente para Wladek Zbyszko, el só unha cunca de café co cinto. Un ou dous meses despois, Zbyszko perdeu o título para Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Escribo esta publicación para corrixir unha publicación anterior que escribín sobre as dobres cruzadas na loita libre profesional. Inicialmente pensei que os dobres cruzados remataron despois de que Stanislaus Zybszko cruzase o Gold Dust Trio.. Zbyszko, despois de aceptar perder ante Munn, derrotouno no que se converteu nun concurso lexítimo para o World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. E “Estrangulador” Lewis, quen deixou caer o
Stanislaus Zbyszko toured the United States in 1910 in preparation for a title match with World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch later in the year. His tour brought him to St. Louis on May 29, 1910. Zbyszko was scheduled to meet highly regarded light heavyweight grappler Charley Olson. Olson was a skilled wrestler, who trained with 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
En outubro 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
Escribín esta publicación debido a unha conversa na que me etiquetaron en Twitter sobre o 1911 revancha entre Frank Gotch e Georg Hackenschmidt polo World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, que ademais de ser un dos mellores xestores da loita libre profesional tamén é un destacado historiador da loita libre profesional., falou do dobre centro no segundo partido Gotch-Hack
Cando “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, coñecido como “Cabeza” to much of the wrestling public, toured several cities in an attempt to arrange a match with American Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Tom Jenkins. Hackenschmidt gañou o título mundial en grecorromana
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 actas. 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 “Traballou” matches thrown in the mix. Por 1904 ou 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,
