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. Нажалост, he didn’t arrive in the United States until 1914, when most wrestling matches were prearranged. Wladek had proved his bona
Често сам открио да је највећи изазов у истраживању раног професионалног рвања одвајање чињеница од фикције. Чак и када су се рвачи такмичили у легитимним мечевима, често су надували исходе, изградили апокрифни фолклор око својих победа и измислили маштовите приче да објасне своје губитке.

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
Одлучио сам да почнем 2020 користећи два примера из професионалног рвања да бисте разговарали о томе зашто бисте променили историјски извештај који сте писали у прошлости. У писању историје, ограничени сте доступним изворима о овој теми. Примарни извори попут дневника, званични записи и аутобиографије су веома вредни. Други извори као што су новине су такође добри, али

Лоуис, И “Давитељ” Lewis challenged “Big” Wayne Munn for his disputed Michigan-Illinois World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Lewis dropped the title to Munn in February 1925.

Априла 7, 1914, 22-year-old Wladek Zbyszko met 22-year-old Ed “Давитељ” Lewis would meet in the first of many matches between the two men.
