Dwar Ġunju 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.
Dwar Marzu 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
Qed nikteb din il-kariga biex nikkoreġi post preċedenti li ktibt dwar double crosses fil-lotta professjonali. Oriġinarjament kont ħsibt li s-slaleb doppji spiċċaw wara li Stanislaus Zybszko qabeż id-doppju tal-Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, wara li aċċetta li jitlef kontra Munn, għelbuh f’dak li nbidel f’kompetizzjoni leġittima għall-Kampjonat Dinji tal-Lotta Heavyweight. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, who dropped the
Stanislaus Zbyszko daret l-Istati Uniti fi 1910 bi tħejjija għal logħba għat-titlu maċ-Champion Dinji tal-Lotta tal-Piż Tqil Frank Gotch aktar tard matul is-sena. Il-mawra tiegħu ġabuh St. Louis f'Mejju 29, 1910. Zbyszko kien skedat li jiltaqa' mal-grappler ta' piż tqil ħfief meqjus ħafna Charley Olson. Olson kien wrestler tas-sengħa, li tħarreġ ma’ 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
Ottubru 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Fil 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
Ktibt din il-kariga minħabba konverżazzjoni li ġejt ittikkettat fiha fuq Twitter dwar il- 1911 rimatch bejn Frank Gotch u Georg Hackenschmidt għall-Kampjonat Dinji tal-Lotta Heavyweight. Jim Cornette, li minbarra li huwa wieħed mill-aqwa maniġers fil-lotta professjonali huwa wkoll storiku pro wrestling magħruf, tkellem dwar id-double cross fit-tieni partita Gotch-Hack
When “Il-Lion Russu” George Hackenschmidt toured America in 1905, he left the country unimpressed by the state of American wrestling. The current World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, magħruf bħala “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 minuti. Beell rebaħ il-
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. Billi 1904 jew 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,
