Em junho 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.
Em março 22, 1919, Ed “Strangler” Lewis conheceu Wladyslaw Zbyszko para a vaga Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight. Em uma surpreendente vitória, Zbyszko derrotado Lewis para reivindicar o título. Infelizmente para Wladyslaw Zbyszko, ele teria apenas uma xícara de café com o cinto. Um ou dois meses depois, Zbyszko lost the title to Joe Stetcher. This match was most likely
Estou escrevendo este post para corrigir um post anterior que escrevi sobre traição na luta livre profissional. Originalmente, pensei que as traições terminassem depois que Stanislaus Zybszko cruzou o trio Gold Dust. Zbyszko, depois de concordar em perder para Munn, o derrotou no que se tornou uma disputa legítima pelo World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, quem deixou cair o
Stanislaus Zbyszko viajou pelos Estados Unidos em 1910 em preparação para uma luta pelo título com o campeão mundial de luta livre Frank Gotch no final do ano. Sua turnê o levou a St.. Luís em maio 29, 1910. Zbyszko estava programado para enfrentar o conceituado grappler meio-pesado Charley Olson. Olson era um lutador habilidoso, que treinou com St.. O lutador de Louis 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
Em outubro 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Em 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
Escrevi este post devido a uma conversa em que fui marcado no Twitter sobre o 1911 revanche entre Frank Gotch e Georg Hackenschmidt pelo World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, que além de ser um dos melhores gestores do wrestling profissional é também um notável historiador do wrestling profissional, falou sobre a traição na segunda partida Gotch-Hack
Quando “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, conhecido como “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. 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 “worked” 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,
