Ar Ionawr 10, 1910, recently arrived Polish wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko took on Charlie “The Kid” Cutler in a best two-out-of-three falls match. Cutler had been a boxer in a troupe run by John L. Sullivan before transitioning to wrestling. While Cutler was extremely tough, Stanislaus Zbyszko had been wrestling since his youth. Zbyszko would use these skills to overcome Cutler
Ar Ragfyr 16, 1917, Frank Alvin Gotch lost a three week battle with uremic poisoning. 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
I decided to start 2020 by using two examples from professional wrestling to discuss why you would change a historical account you wrote in the past. In writing history, you are limited by the available sources on the subject matter. Primary sources like diaries, official records and autobiographies are very valuable. Other sources like newspapers are good as well but
On the same day Joe Stecher wrestled Stanislaus Zbyszko for the recognized version of the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in St. Louis, Ed “Strangler” Lewis challenged “Big” Wayne Munn for his disputed Michigan-Illinois World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Lewis dropped the title to Munn in February 1925. In April 1925, Zbyszko defeated Munn in a famous double-cross. The match between Lewis and
Ar Ebrill 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. While they were supposed to be working the match, Lewis and Wladek Zbyszko struggled to work together. In the early 1920s, Lewis would drop his World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship to Wladek’s older brother Stanislaus Zbyszko. Yn
Frank J. Quinn, a lleol St. Louis atwrnai, gwasanaethodd fel rheolwr reslwyr proffesiynol George Baptise, Charley Olson a Fred Beell. Yn wreiddiol yn edmygydd o George Baptiste, yr hwn oedd chwedl yn y St. Louis cymdogaeth o amgylch Cook a Vandeventer Avenues. Byddai Baptiste yn cyflogi Quinn fel ei reolwr ac yn ddiweddarach atwrnai ar gyfer ei babell a'i gwmni cysgodlenni. During his
Samuel Rachmann promoted the International Wrestling Tournament in New York during 1915. Rachmann invited wrestlers from around the world to the tournament but his real intention was to establish European Greco-Roman Wrestling Champion Alex Aberg as the successor to the retired Frank Gotch as World Champion. Roedd cynllun Rachmann ar gyfer sefydlu Aber yn mynd yn ôl y bwriad ar ôl i’r twrnamaint gychwyn
In early 1916, Martin “Farmer” Burns, a hyfforddodd a rheolodd Frank Gotch i Bencampwriaeth Pwysau Trwm y Byd, dechreuodd wadu ei fod wedi datblygu Pencampwr Pwysau Trwm America Joe Stecher. Roedd yr honiad yn ymddangos yn rhyfedd oherwydd bod Burns wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Stecher ers sawl blwyddyn. Helpodd Burns i baratoi Stecher ar gyfer ei ornest bencampwriaeth gyda Charlie Cutler i mewn 1915. Mewn ffordd, beth Burns
Erbyn diwedd y 1910au, bu hyrwyddwyr reslo proffesiynol yn bwcio reslwyr mewn gemau reslo a weithiwyd neu a drefnwyd ymlaen llaw. Occasionally, fel arfer o ganlyniad i groes dwbl, byddai cefnogwyr yn gweld cystadleuaeth go iawn neu “shoot” cyfatebiaeth rhwng y reslwyr. Digwyddodd un o'r gemau hyn yn hwyr 1921 a chododd o ymryson rhwng Tex Rickard, hyrwyddwr bocsio yn bennaf, a Jac
