Stanislaus, koji je bio 12 years older, posed the last real threat to Frank Gotch’s World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Wladek Zbyszko was a skilled wrestler in his own right. Nažalost, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Često otkrivam da je najveći izazov u istraživanju ranog profesionalnog hrvanja odvajanje činjenica od fikcije. Čak i kad su se hrvači natjecali u legitimnim mečevima, često su napuhavali ishode, izgradili su apokrifni folklor oko svojih pobjeda i izmišljali fantastične priče kako bi objasnili svoje gubitke.

Rarely does one fundamentally alter their profession but Stanislaus Zbyszko did just that on April 15, 1925 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Zbyszko defeated Wayne Munn in one of the last shoot (not staged) professional wrestling matches in the United States. It was a shoot or legitimate match because Zbyszko double crossed the “Goldust Trio” promicanje hrvanja i pobijedio Munna za
Odlučio sam započeti 2020 koristeći dva primjera iz profesionalnog hrvanja kako biste raspravili zašto biste promijenili povijesni izvještaj koji ste napisali u prošlosti. U pisanju povijesti, ograničeni ste dostupnim izvorima o predmetu. Primarni izvori poput dnevnika, službeni zapisi i autobiografije vrlo su vrijedni. Drugi izvori poput novina također su dobri, ali
