Ar Eanáir 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 Nollaig 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” ardú céime wrestling agus buille Munn do na

Ar an lá céanna rinne Joe Stecher troid i gcoinne Stanislaus Zbyszko don leagan aitheanta de Chraobhchomórtais Wrestling Heavyweight World i 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 Aibreán 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. In
Frank J. Quinn, a áitiúil St. Louis aturnae, d'fhóin sé mar bhainisteoir do wrestlers gairmiúla George Baptise, Charley Olson agus Fred Beell. Bhí meas ag George Baptiste ar dtús, a bhí ina finscéal sa St. Louis chomharsanacht timpeall Cook agus Vandeventer Avenues. D’fhostaigh Baptiste Quinn mar a bhainisteoir agus ina aturnae ina dhiaidh sin dá phuball agus dá chuideachta scairt. 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. Bhí plean Rachmann do bhunú Aber ag dul mar a bhí beartaithe tar éis don chomórtas tosú
In early 1916, Martin “Feirmeoir” Dónna, who trained and managed Frank Gotch to the World Heavyweight Championship, began denying that he developed current American Heavyweight Champion Joe Stecher. The claim seemed odd because Burns had been working with Stecher for several years. Burns helped prepare Stecher for his championship bout with Charlie Cutler in 1915. In a way, what Burns
Faoi dheireadh na 1910idí, d'áirith tionscnóirí wrestling gairmiúla wrestlers i gcluichí wrestling oibrithe nó réamheagraithe. Occasionally, de ghnáth mar thoradh ar chros dhúbailte, d'fheicfeadh lucht leanúna comórtas iarbhír nó “shoot” cluiche idir na wrestlers. Tharla ceann de na cluichí seo go déanach 1921 agus d'éirigh sé as achrann idir Tex Rickard, tionscnóir dornálaíochta go príomha, agus Jack
