Noong Hunyo 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.
Sa Marso 22, 1919, At “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
Sinusulat ko ang post na ito upang iwasto ang isang naunang post na isinulat ko tungkol sa dobleng krus sa propesyonal na pakikipagbuno. Akala ko sa una ay natapos ang dobleng mga krus matapos na doble na tumawid si Stanislaus Zybszko sa Gold Dust Trio. Zbyszko, matapos sumang-ayon na mawala sa Munn, natalo siya sa kung ano ang naging isang lehitimong paligsahan para sa World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. At “Strangler” Lewis, na bumagsak ng
Si Stanislaus Zbyszko ay naglibot sa Estados Unidos sa 1910 bilang paghahanda para sa isang title match kay World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Frank Gotch sa bandang huli ng taon. Dinala siya ng kanyang paglilibot sa St. Louis noong Mayo 29, 1910. Si Zbyszko ay nakatakdang makipagkita sa mataas na itinuturing na light heavyweight grappler na si Charley Olson. Si Olson ay isang bihasang wrestler, na nagsanay sa St. Louis wrestler na si 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
Noong Oktubre 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. Sa 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
Isinulat ko ang post na ito dahil sa isang pag-uusap na na-tag sa akin sa Twitter tungkol sa 1911 rematch sa pagitan nina Frank Gotch at Georg Hackenschmidt para sa World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, na bukod sa pagiging isa sa mga pinakamahusay na tagapamahala sa propesyonal na pakikipagbuno ay isa ring kilalang pro wrestling historian, napag-usapan ang tungkol sa double cross sa ikalawang Gotch-Hack match
Kailan “Ang 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, na kilala bilang “Pataga” 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 minuto. Nanalo si Beell sa
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. Sa pamamagitan ng 1904 o 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,
