Ich schreibe diesen Beitrag, um einen früheren Beitrag zu korrigieren, den ich über Doppelkreuze im professionellen Wrestling geschrieben habe. Ursprünglich dachte ich, Doppelkreuze endete nach Stanislaus Zybszko doppelte Gold Dust Trio gekreuzt. Zbyszko, nach der Vereinbarung zu Munn verlieren, besiegte ihn in einem legitimen Wettbewerb um die World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Und “Würger” Lewis, Wer hat das fallen lassen?
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
Am 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
Ich schrieb diesen Beitrag aufgrund eines Gesprächs wurde ich auf Twitter über die markierte in 1911 Rematch zwischen Frank Gotch und Georg Hackenschmidt für die World Heavyweight Championship Wrestling. Jim Cornette, die außer in professionellem Wrestling einen der besten Manager zu sein, ist auch ein bekannter prowrestling Historiker, sprach über die Doppelkreuzung im zweiten Gotch-Hack-Match
Wann “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, bekannt “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 Minuten. Beell gewann
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. Von 1904 oder 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 rose through the ranks of professional wrestling to become the biggest box office star of not only the 1930s but of all-time. Jedoch, if Londos had not come to St. Louis in the early 1920s, the story could have been quite different. Londos learned catch-as-catch-can wrestling while Londos performed as a strong man in the carnival circuit during
Am 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) Championship but remained out of the spotlight until
On November 7, 1908, Charles Olson traf “Americus” Gus Schönlein für die Welt-Schwergewichts-Wrestling Championship. Das Spiel erwies sich als spannend werden, als Beobachter vermuteten, es wäre aber es endete in Streit. Olson stand 6’01” aber wog nur 170 Pfund. Geboren Max Flaskamp in Krefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen in 1879, er nahm den Namen Charles oder Charley Olson
