Ek skryf hierdie plasing om 'n vroeëre plasing wat ek geskryf het oor dubbelkruisings in professionele stoei reg te stel. Ek het oorspronklik gedink dubbelkruise het geëindig nadat Stanislaus Zybszko die Gold Dust Trio dubbelkruis. Zbyszko, nadat hy ingestem het om teen Munn te verloor, het hom verslaan in wat 'n wettige kompetisie vir die Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap geword het. En “Worger” Lewis, wat die laat val het
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
Op Oktober 25, 1915, Aleksander “Alex” Aberg won the World Greco-Roman Heavyweight Wrestling Championship from Wladek Zbyszko, the brother of Aberg’s former foe. In 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
Ek het hierdie pos geskryf as gevolg van 'n gesprek waarin ek op Twitter gemerk is oor die 1911 herwedstryd tussen Frank Gotch en Georg Hackenschmidt vir die Wêreld-swaargewigstoeikampioenskap. Jim Cornette, wat benewens een van die beste bestuurders in professionele stoei ook 'n bekende pro stoei historikus is, het oor die dubbelkruis in die tweede Gotch-Hack-wedstryd gepraat
When “The 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, bekend as “Hack” 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 minute. Beell het die
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. Deur 1904 of 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,
Jim Londos het deur die geledere van professionele stoei gestyg om die grootste loketster van nie net die 1930's nie, maar van alle tye te word. Egter, as Londos nie na St. Louis in die vroeë 1920's, die storie kon heel anders gewees het. Londos het vang-as-vang-kan-stoei geleer terwyl Londos as sterk man in die karnavalkring tydens
Op Oktober 20, 1906, Fred Beell proved dynamite comes in small packages. Beell, light heavyweight wrestling champion, defeated former American heavyweight champion Dan McLeod. Beell parlayed an active 1906 into defeats of former American Heavyweight Champion Dan McLeod and current American Heavyweight Champion Frank Gotch. Beell won the American Middleweight (Light Heavyweight) Kampioenskap maar uit die kollig gebly tot
Op November 7, 1908, Charles Olson ontmoet het “Americus” Gus Schonlein vir die Wêreld Ligswaargewig Stoeikampioenskap. Die wedstryd was so opwindend soos waarnemers vermoed het dit sou wees, maar dit het in omstredenheid geëindig. Olson het 6 gestaan’01” maar net geweeg 170 pond. Gebore Max Flaskamp in Krefeld, Noordryn-Wesfale in 1879, hy het die naam Charles of Charley Olson aangeneem
