От декември 14, 1915, the International Wrestling Tournament was coming to a close. A featured match revealed promoter Samuel Rachmann was manipulating outcomes to keep interest in his tournament.

Georg Lurich made his reputation as a professional wrestler competing in European Greco-Roman wrestling tournaments.

Публикацията тази седмица е да завършим историята на двойния кръст, включващ Дик Шикат и Дано О’Махони.

На June 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.

Пиша тази публикация, за да коригирам предишна публикация, която написах за двойни кръстове в професионалната борба. Първоначално мислех, че двойните кръстосвания са приключили, след като Станислав Зибшко удвои триото Gold Dust. Zbyszko, след като се съгласи да загуби от Munn, го победи в това, което се превърна в легитимно състезание за Световното първенство по борба в тежка категория. <Педя bbox_x = "925" bbox_y = "1799" bbox_w = "16" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" червено = "255" зелен = "255" синьо = "255" алфа = " “<Педя bbox_x = "949" bbox_y = "1799" bbox_w = "52" bbox_h = "19" fsize = "13" fweight = "3" червено = "255" зелен = "255" синьо = "255" алфа = "” Фундаментален болт, който изпусна

I wrote this post due to a conversation I was tagged in on Twitter about the 1911 rematch between Frank Gotch and Georg Hackenschmidt for the World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Jim Cornette, who besides being one of the best managers in professional wrestling is also a noted pro wrestling historian, talked about the double cross in the second Gotch-Hack match
