On jaanuar 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
On detsember 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
Otsustasin alustada 2020 kasutades kahte näidet professionaalsest maadlusest, et arutada, miks peaksite muutma oma minevikus kirjutatud ajaloolist ülevaadet. Ajaloo kirjutamisel, teid piiravad selle teema kohta saadaolevad allikad. Peamised allikad nagu päevikud, ametlikud andmed ja autobiograafiad on väga väärtuslikud. Muud allikad, nagu ajalehed, on samuti head, kuid
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
Aprillil 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. Sisse
Frank J. Quinn, kohalik St. Louis advokaat, töötas professionaalsete maadlejate George Baptise mänedžerina, Charley Olson ja Fred Beell. Algselt George Baptiste'i austaja, kes oli legend St. Louisi naabruskond Cooki ja Vandeventer Avenues'i ümber. Baptiste palkas Quinni oma sõimeks ja hiljem oma telkide ja varikatuste ettevõtte advokaadiks. 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. Rachmanni plaan Abergi asutamiseks läks pärast turniiri algust plaanipäraselt
Aasta alguses 1916, Martin “Farmer” Burns, kes treenis ja juhtis Frank Gotchi raskekaalu maailmameistrivõistlusteks, hakkas eitama, et ta arendas välja praeguse Ameerika raskekaalu tšempioni Joe Stecheri. Väide tundus veider, sest Burns oli Stecheriga mitu aastat koostööd teinud. Burns aitas Stecheril ette valmistada tema meistrivõistluste võitlust koos Charlie Cutleriga 1915. Mõnes mõttes, mis Põleb
1910. aastate lõpuks, professionaalsed maadluse edendajad broneerisid maadlejad töötatud või eelnevalt kokkulepitud maadlusmatšides. Occasionally, tavaliselt topeltristi tulemusena, fännid näeksid tegelikku võistlust või “shoot” matš maadlejate vahel. Üks neist matšidest leidis aset hilja 1921 ja tekkis Tex Rickardi vahelisest vaenust, peamiselt poksi edendaja, ja Jack
