Wladek Zbyszko’s legacy is often overshadowed by his brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Stanislaus, who was 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. Për fat të keq, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Shpesh kam gjetur se sfida më e madhe në kërkimin e mundjes së hershme profesionale është ndarja e fakteve nga trillimet. Edhe kur mundësit garonin në ndeshje legjitime, ata shpesh fryjnë rezultatet, ndërtuan folklorin apokrif rreth fitoreve të tyre dhe shpikin tregime fantastike për të shpjeguar humbjet e tyre.

Doctors attempted to keep his kidneys going through an operation in Chicago but it provided only temporary relief. Gotch intended to travel to Hot Springs, Arkansas to try and restore his health. The operation ended this hope. Gotch spent the last couple weeks only able
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” wrestling promotion and beat Munn for the
Vendosa të filloj 2020 duke përdorur dy shembuj nga mundja profesionale për të diskutuar pse do të ndryshonit një tregim historik që keni shkruar në të kaluarën. Në shkrimin e historisë, jeni të kufizuar nga burimet e disponueshme për këtë temë. Burimet parësore si ditarët, të dhënat zyrtare dhe autobiografitë janë shumë të vlefshme.

On the same day Joe Stecher wrestled Stanislaus Zbyszko for the recognized version of the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in St. Louis, Dhe “Strangler” Lewis challenged “Big” Wayne Munn for his disputed Michigan-Illinois World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship.

Në prill 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Strangler” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men. They would cooperate in a number of worked or “prearranged” shkrepëse. Lewis in fact dropped his American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship to Wladek Zbyszko in 1917. In the early 1920s, Lewis would drop his World Heavyweight Wrestling
